Thanks for the heads up, but I think I'll pass this time.
As much fun as it is to get new gear,
I just can't justify that radio at this time.
It doesn't do anything that my other radios don't do,
plus it lacks some features that I consider essential.
About the only feature I might enjoy is the auto tune and store,
but that's only useful if you move or change antennas often. Besides I
already have an Accurian AV receiver that does that and I find myself
going through the queue and deleting stuff it hit on that I didn't want.
My ideal portable would be the excellent eTón E1 receiver capability and
WWV clock synch, but with the addition of IR remote control, HD
decoding, and something that none of my current radios do, SCA and DRM.
Isn't SCA illegal to monitor?
