I ordered the Tecsun PL 606 from Anon. How can you go wrong for 40.00 plus shipping? I'll post a comparison when I get the Tecsun. In the meantime, I'm really enjoying the G6. although I'm new to Ultralight, I've been SWLing & MW Dxing since 1966 (ok, I'm an OM). And by the way, although there's been a lot of discussion on the 606, I haven't seen where it's been officially approved either, but I may be looking in the wrong place. I've also ordered an AN-200 loop from Universal. Am I right in assuming if you use an external antenna you are in the unlimited class as opposed to barefoot?

That means I still don't have a qualified radio, but am undecided between the top models on the list. It will be interesting to see how the DSP ultralights compare with this. Meanwhile, I'm going to play around with the G6. I have a DX-398 and an Eton E-1 to compare with it.
