Yours must have been badly out of alignment. Properly set up, it's one of
the most sensitive as well as one of the quietest radios you'll ever have
the pleasure of using. It didn't get the reputation it did for nothing.

And some of us love the way it looks.

I really wanted one after reading all the stuff written about it when I
first got bit by the higher end SW bug, it really sounded great. I had
nothing even approaching it though, so it would have been a major step
up, equipment wise.

But I was severely disappointed in it when I actually used one the first
time, then even more so a few minutes later when I played with a JRC
NRD-515. At that moment, every desire I had for a 6800 "Orange" was
dead. It took me almost two years before I bought my NRD-525, and
another year after that before I finally got my NRD-515. I still have
it, but the 525 has been replaced with a much later, improved one.

On top of it not being all that great of a receiver, the 6800 is pretty
damn ugly.

Nice video though. Miles ahead of the NRD-535 ones.
