You guys have got a steal! The price when I just checked is US$399. Must
have been an Oops factor. Then again, it will be interesting to hear what's
in the box when you get it!

Good luck,

Tom

UPS delivered mine this afternoon. Looks to be brand new and came with
AN-LP2 loop antenna. One of the best deals I've ever gotten. Too bad I'm
such a n00b to SW listening. I have a lot to learn.

Hey guys and gals,
Let us know if you actually get the radio. My guess is the lucky ones

will.

Since you seem to be first, you get to answer the questions :)

Any indication of what year the ROM chip for the major broadcasters
is?

I'm wondering if they still support updates too.

Yeah, a case and HUGE power supply. Can also use 2 AA batteries.

It says you can get yearly updates to the ROM but I have no idea to check
what year this one is.

Thanks much for checking. I was hoping that there might be something
distinctive that would give us an idea. Perhaps someone else might
know. I also kinda suspect that the "yearly update" language (I think
there's actually a form for sending away like there was with the Sony
"Wave Handbook") may be included in the package without necessarily
meaning you can still get one. Maybe, maybe not. BTW, I don't think
this is a big deal--I'm just curious, since the ROM chip was one of
this radio's innovations when introduced.
