Sangen hf reciever

[KB1UAM]

Just wondering what your thoughts and comments are regarding this radio is? I'm thinking about purchasing this one SANGEAN ATS-505P | COMPACT AM/FM/SW+SSB+ANTENNA. This will be my first hf rig. How easy is this to operate?

The Radio Shack PLL Synthesized World Receiver is probably the same radio, and about $80 at most RS stores. I have one, it works well.

See the thread on the "Radio Shack Synthesized World Receiver" in this forum if you need more info -- a lot of it may also apply to the Sangean ATS-505P.
