I had a 545 at one point, but can't say I noticed that AM problem. Maybe I had a later build. The DSP is quite good, given the age of the technology. I only ever use it lightly to take the edge off noise anyway.

The 545 is a very pretty radio, if we can use that term

Another one I regret selling ...

And a pix of the mess inside the 515's Kokusai filters, before repacking with some cotton wool.
