Yes, I just got mine from Durham Radio on Tuesday Oct.21st.
Very attractive radio. Done some random listening, and this radio has
an amazingly low noise floor, and very good sensitivity, but this is a
prelim assesment, will pursue intense listening over next while.
Moveable AM antenna on top really works well. last evening was an eye-
opener as to AM broadcast directionality !!
Haven't checked out SSB yet. Passport gives 750 a 3 and one-eighth
rating.Manual is kind of sparse. i.e. on either batteries(4D) or wall
wart, backlight comes on with touch of most buttons and
tuning knob, (very slight turn) for about 5 seconds (not in manual)
and then goes out. When radio on, pressing 'light'
be quick !! Backlight changes from timed to full on after a
second,marked by a blink of the light. No long pause as with some
radios. This works on batteries and wall wart.
Won't ramble on any more right now, except to say it will be very
interesting to get some more reviews.
Good Listening to All from SW4ever.
P.S. BCLnews has posted a whole slew of new B08 skeds at:

I don't know how it could be very good being made in China and with a
BFO for SSB/CW.
