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.

More made in Communist Red China JUNK that will have "quality control"
issues.

Or maybe you'll be one of the lucky few who will get a unit that will
last a couple of years before it goes kaput.

No thanks I'll pass and listen to shortwave on my still working great
40 year old MADE IN AMERICA radio.

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

I've never owned a Yugo either but like the rest of the world,knew it
was a piece of junk.

I've owned two highly touted initial production model shortwave radios
that were made in China (DX-394 and Grundig Satellite 800) and both
had serious quality control issues. Fortunately I was able to get rid
of both of them. Also several other less expensive portables made in
China duds that I owned died after a year or so of limited use. Yes
I'm a slow learner but I've now learned my lesson.

I advise anyone who is considering buying an initial production model
of anything from China to exercise patience. You will be able to buy
it for half price on Ebay within a year from the suckers who just
couldn't wait to get their hands on the latest over hyped piece of
crap from communist China.
And you'll have the additional satisfaction of knowing that you have
not contributed a penny to the anti-American totalitarian regime in
Beijing.

I am curious as to your forthcoming review. The specs read
like a larger-box version of their recent G6 which is not very
selective, and a huge number of FM images in the Airband.

Radioworld.ca usually includes the manuals in PDF format
when they have the radios for sale (not yet).
