It looks like it's a Tecsun PL230 with a few slightly different
buttons. And a considerably higher price.

Thanks for that link. I had been searching eBay for info on the Tecsun
230 and didn't find any. I also found more info on the web including
the review at radiointel which brings up the question whether it's
dual conversion or not. It say: "The radio comes with one PL-230 PLL
dual conversion receiver. (I emailed the seller, who said he believed
it to be dual conversion, so if it is single I apologize.)"

Does anyone know for sure?

The Owners manual I downloaded doesn't say whether the YB550 is dual
conversion... and the address they gave to write for additional info
is not active. So I'm assuming that if it
were dual conversion, they'd have mentioned it and there would not be
so much confusion. Does anyone know for sure?
