John - Ok, thanks, I'm looking forward to getting radio.

Is there a bfo knob? All I see is a fine tuning knob.

That's the BFO knob...works like the Sony ICF2002 and later radios.

A few small warts notwithstanding it's really an amazing little radio.
I've listened to hams from 160 on up with no problem. Also caught some
maritime traffic, a few airliners, etc.
