Hi...

I'm (still) contemplating purchase of an NRD-545 DSP receiver.

Overall, I'm pretty happy to go with this radio from all that I've read.
I'll be importing this into New Zealand myself, from Tokyo. So I won't get a
chance to play with the radio, or even see it first.

If you had a budget for the NRD-545, is this what you would buy? Anybody out
there with experience of several different receivers of this class? (Perhaps
IC-R75, AOR 7030 Plus, Drake R8B etc.).

I've read of the quirks of the NRD-545, like "monkey chatter" etc. But the
overall impression I'm left with is that it is still a very good radio.

Any other radios I should be considering, in your opinion/experience?

Thanks,
Mark.
