Well it's very small, the controls are fiddly and the audio is not up to 
much. There is memory management software available, which helps, and 
the rig has all sorts of scanning modes. I have used it on HF (rx 
obviously) and it works better with a few feet of wire, but I had to 
attach a lot of adapters together to that frail little aerial socket, 
which was a bit of a worry. It is now scanning the European TV channels 
as a sporadic E sensing device.
