Panasonic RF4900

Hi, can anyone tell me what these radios are like please.

Big, impressive looking radios that have good sound and do reasonably
well on broadcast stations. They are drifty on ssb and as I remember
subject to image signals from strong stations. Here's a German site
with an extensive review. Just access it through google and have it
translated.

They arent stable, sensitve or selective at all. You will get better
performance from just about any decent modern portable out there. Those
thing takes up space, but that is about it. I also remember reading that
the dials and knobs tend to wear out.

DX'ing gives it the rating that it deserves.

It's worth about $150 in good condition. I had one and sold it for what
I payed for it. It was an interesting blast from the past. Sometimes the
fun factor is worth owning a radio, if only for a while.
