Dear Chris,

Piece of advice based on many, many years of experience:

DON'T BUY USED! Repeat: DON'T BUY USED!

Why is the seller getting rid of the unit? NOT BECAUSE HE LIKES IT!

It is ALWAYS better to buy a relatively inexpensive NEW item rather
than some dude's cast-off finery!

I have no experience with the Ten-Tec RX-320D. However it does get a
very nice review in the new PASSPORT, which I recommend you buy if you
haven't already.

Best,

Joe

I've bought and sold many radios over the years, and there was only one
that I sold was due to problems, I traded it in on a new one.

Of all the SW receivers I have bought, only one had any problems, and it
turned out the seller was famous for this.

I have sold radio because:

I just wanted a better one.
I didn't like something about it.
I didn't like the audio.
I wanted to buy something else (needed the $$$
I had too many and wasn't using it much...

I would always recommend going with a decent used radio, like a NRD 525
over a POS portable like a lot of people do..
