when using the selectable sync youare forced to use the 2.5 filter.
that is unacceptable.

the front end performance is not acceptable.

In EU maybe, but here in the states I have never had the 150 overload- even
when on a 4 element 20M yagi

the IF filter options are very limited, TWO !

But those 2 are nice filters. AM sync with the narrow filter sounds fine -
still has lots of highs.
has no features to speak of, like bass and treble

True- the SP-150 fills it out nicely, but they are not cheap. And having to
use it gets away from the portability.

short battery life
Not an issue with the NiMH batteries- mine with backlight goes well over 12
hrs.
I don't remember some of the other issues
