I also have one and would disagree somewhat. It is really great on FM, OK for AM locals, but completely worthless on shortwave. Part of the SW problem is the strong local on 1080KHZ that breaks through pretty much the entire SW spectrum on this radio (similar to the Radio Shack DX-380, also completely worthless on shortwave around here).

I agree it is a neat-looking radio. It provides the novel experience of AFC (automatic frequency control) on AM and SW--a feature normally seen only on FM, that makes tuning for weak signals much more difficult, and most SW signals are weak. It also implements linear tuning for the AM band, which is a good thing but seems odd because essentially all other analog radios use the cheaper circular variable capacitor design that causes the high frequencies to pile up together at the end of the dial. My red tuning light does turn on for a couple of SW stations, so it is apparently supposed to work on SW.
