I love mine and agree with you with (1) exception:
The audio is VERY weak...

I owned one of these a couple of years ago, but due to my financial
situation at the time, I had to sell it. Wish I hadn't. It is a very
good little radio and boy do I miss it. Performs quite well on all
bands, in my opinion. But for shortwave, you have to hold it in your
hand for it to receive adequately. I guess the human body acts as a
ground.
I can't say whether or not it would suit your needs. Just depends on
what you're looking for. I was happy with mine. I can't think of a
single negative thing about it.
