My thanks to all for your comments. The HF transceiver path looked
better and better (not so much for AM Rx as DX seeking). In the
pursuit of this, a notice passed my way of someone selling a NRD-525
in excellent condition. Discussed this with the seller (an active
comm's hobbiest) and this led to my purchase of the unit. Look
forward to this long overdue, major upgrade.

Congratulations on the purchase. Let us know how you like NRD-525 and
what stations you pick up on it.

For One and All,

Any truth to the claim that the NRD-525
is a very good AM/MW DX Radio ?

I understand the stock audio is muffled somewhat.

For those interested, Kiwa offers an audio upgrade for the NRD-525:

The 525 audio supposedly has a little distortion, although it's never
bothered me.

The 525's stock filters are set at 6 khz and 3 khz. You can also
bypass the filters with the AUX switch, which gives about a 12 khz
bandwidth, and full-bodied audio for AM stations.

See if you can pick up Vietnam on your Shortwave Radio.Their music is
cool.I used to tote a shirtpocket AM transistor and listen to some
Vietnamese music in 1964 when I was in Vietnam.Or,you might find some
Vietnamese music on internet radio. www.radio-locator.com There is
a radio station (Cymru'r Byd) in Wales (Cardiff or Swansea) I sometimes
listen to.They play some nice music on the radio.I think from midnight
to about 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM their time zone,they are off the air.
