Yes, it is the yacht boy and I decided to test it (wearing gloves to keep the radio pristine) to confirm functionality and while doing so, found that the audio is wonderful (clearer and louder than my new Tecsun PL-880). Although it doesn't have great sensitivity compared to most of my other radios (Sony ICF SW7600GR, Grundig Satellit 750 & Tocsin PL-880), I suspect it would be a good choice for someone who mostly listens to the stronger stations like RRI and CRI. The RDS is also a nice plus, having fewer decode errors than my Grundig G2 reporter. Also, since this radio has been discontinued for 17 years, is made in Europe and is in new condition with all the original accessories, would $180 (60% the original msrp) be reasonable?
