Good evening, Brian. As

So, how do you like it?


Outstanding SWL rcvr, a 10 out of 10. As a ham rcvr it's a 9 out of
10.

Does it live up to all that hype on the Universal Radio sales page?


On one hand in general yes, on the other hand no radio lives up to
it's manufacturer's marketing hype. There's a detailed by the-the-
numbers review of it in the ARRL website.

If it does half of what the marketing types at UR claim it does, it sounds
like a pretty good unit.

Kind of pricey, though. But I guess all of the good stuff is pricey,
these days.


Yup.
