Sure...I owned the later version, R300 with the SWL bandspread dial.
They are double conversion on all but the lowest sw and all of the mw
band. Double conversion doesn't help much with the images, which
abound.

Still, it is a fun radio to use and it looks like it should have tubes
inside. The crystal marker allows accurate (by pre-digital standard)
tuning. And it has two filters that actually work, although they are a
bit sloppy for ssb work. After a few hours behind the dial, it does
become a bit tedious and you realize just how far receivers have
improved. It's younger digital siblings, the R600, R1000 and R2000
would be much easier to use and would perform much better. They will
not "look" like a glow-in-the-dark radio however.

If you are in the market, don't pay much over $100.
