Hi Rick,

I had a G6 for a while. It's not a bad radio; SW and FM were pretty good; AM so-so; LW and the VHF air band were useless; deaf on LW, and VHF has too many images from the FM broadcast band. No DSP. Reception-wise, it didn't compare with my G8. I may have got a bad "sample," but I don't think so, based on other reviews I've seen.

I saw one last week on "clearance" at a Radio Shack for $80., so I guess it's being discontinued.

73,
Keith Beesley

Speaking of the G6, does anyone have
any experience comparing it to the
current allowed ULRs, such as the G8, PL-310, PL-380? 
This looks like a
Tecsun product that is exclusively a Grundig/Eton model and
it's too bad
the G6 has such a high retail price to keep it out of the
ULR
competition.   With  no mention of DSP,
I take it that it is not Si4734
based.

Hey Scott, any chance of an Si chip with SSB, 500Hz
selectivity and a
tunable BFO?  Just dreaming.
