in my situation, the lack of performance was not affected by its intended
use.

the selectivity had serious issues aboce 3kHz
the Sync was absolutely useless under all situations

I don't remember if there was anything good about it.

and TenTec service was absolutely pathetic on the several calls I made to
them.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Bill,

It appears there are two camps, those who like it and those who didn't.

When looking at a receiver one has to consider how they intend to use it
and what they want to listen to. You didn't indicate your interests and
the others who respond didn't either. They are also not specific about
what they do or didn't like.

For me, I consider it a good radio. Not as expensive as an R8B or AOR
7030+. There are other table top radios at half of the $1200 price.

I find it easy to use. I also have the external keypad but found I don't
need it for everyday use.

The radio works well for general program listening. The sound quality is
excellent when using the SAM modes. (I do use an external speaker.)
However the radio has to be tuned precisely on station to minimize the
unlocking of the sync during deep fades.

The performance for LW use is not that good. Too many AM BCB images.

The numerous IF bandwidths are very useful in crowded bands.

USB and LSB modes work well.

Hope that helps.
