Larry, the rx is adequate on the modes you are interested in....no
competition to an R390 but good for on the go SWLing. It is a bit better than
my Sangean 818.
I have had the rig for 3 weeks and love it. The most fun was tuning the rig
up on 6 using the ZM2 and a random wire and working all over the US on an
opening.
It is an engineering marvel, not the best for any one thing but brings so
much to the shack in one package.

I know how well this radio transmits, but how is it as a sw(hf
milcom, broadcast band) receiver? I am going to be selling some ham
trxcvrs and wide band rcvrs at a hamfest tomorrow, and will be
looking to maybe purchase a 817. I enjoy QRP and would like a multi-
use radio to take on the go. The fact the 6, 2, and 440 ssb is thrown
in is just a plus. Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Larry Tews, N8IAA
