Has anyone tried this new product? I saw it tonight selling for
$49.95 at a local RS store here in Virginia . About the same size as
the GE SR series, the Extreme Long Range radio features digital LED
frequency display and direct entry. Build quality appears to be
excellent. BTW, my Sony 7600 GR blows away my SR III as an AM BCB dx
receiver.

SK,

I think what you are talking about is the RadioShack
"High-Performance PLL Tuning AM/FM/WX Radio"
which is Priced at $49.99

RadioShack Catalog # 12-150

Nothing really 'extreme' about it :

* AM / FM / WX Radio with Long-Range Performance and High
Sensitivity

* 10 AM, 15 FM and 5 WX Radio Memory Presets

* Digital LCD Display so you can easily tune to radio stations

* Auxiliary input for additional line-in sources

- - - unless you are carrying on on your shoulder to
catch some tunes while performing at the X-Games !

most likely a RadioShack semi-clone of the CCRadio ~ RHF
