These are excellent radio's. I have one and it will receive stations on MW that many others don't. It's due to the dual use of an extra UF89 which doubles as an RF amp on AM and an extra IF amp (making three) on FM. A small amount of negative feedback greatly improves the sound quality. For a modest table radio, these perform far better than than their looks would have you believe.
