I just bought a new AT-909 withOUT the modifications, and still think it's a
teriffic little radio.

Fry Electronics closed out a number of 909's at just $129.99...and I bought
one. And, am I glad I did!

I've been an SWL off and on since the early 1960's when I was a little
kid...and have used all kinds of big, bulky receivers.

Seems like a really nice portable...and you can't beat the price!
