Worth the 25 bucks I bought it for?

My YB400 (the older black model) was an excellent performer, except for battery usage.
It ate 'em and used 6 at a time. A decent wall wart and RFI/EMI shielded surge suppressor
was my choice for power due to the above mentioned consumption of batteries.

$25 is a real bargain for the performance it gives, assuming you have tested it and it's
picking up SW stations.

That was my first shortwave radio, and I still use it regularly. You
got a bargain.

Only big drawback with the YB400 is that the SSB performance is not
that great (no separate lower and upper sideband setting). Still, a
great radio for program listening, and you can get some decent DX with
it.

Thanks, it does function perfectly and SW is crowded with signals.
