I recently bought a barely used Super ATS-909 after having owned a stock
version for about a little over a year. Initially I was hesitant to get
one based on some negative reviews about the highly modified radio but
curiosity overcame me and besides, I actually love the stock version
especially when connected to a moderately long wire. The radio is rich
in features and really just a pleasure to use. The Super 909 is hands
down better!
and 2) SSB reception is a sight more difficult to achieve now. I knew
this going into the purchase but in the short time I have been a
listener I have grown to decide I find the ramblings of most HAMs to be,
let's just say, less than interesting. So no loss for me. Broadcast
listening is a treat now and I can hear much more out there than before.

I think this is a very nice portable radio and as long as skeptics keep
the fact that it is a portable in mind, it is hard to beat this thing in
comparisons to comparable models. I got a great deal on mine ($200) but
you can get them for $300-350 on line in a few places. I love mine and
will never get rid of it. I will be probably sell my stock version
though.

Thanks for listening and feel free to ask if you have questions about
these comments or the radio itself.

Cheers all.

Agree big time. The sens of my super 909 equals my 2010 on SW.
Absolutely amazing. And now the sound rocks.
