Why?

I just bought one for backpacking miniDXpeditions. I like it, it only weighs 2
lbs without batteries, does not overload on MW even with 700 ft of wire and a
5kw directional local 2 miles away. My only complaint so far is that it is deaf
below 500khz. THe sensitivity is something like 2uv ... horrible ! I hope there
will be a mod for this.

Very nice radio though !
