For One and All,

Any truth to the claim that the NRD-525
is a very good AM/MW DX Radio ?

I understand the stock audio is muffled somewhat.

The 525 audio supposedly has a little distortion, although it's never
bothered me.

The 525's stock filters are set at 6 khz and 3 khz. You can also
bypass the filters with the AUX switch, which gives about a 12 khz
bandwidth, and full-bodied audio for AM stations.

See if you can pick up Vietnam on your Shortwave Radio.Their music is
cool.I used to tote a shirtpocket AM transistor and listen to some
Vietnamese music in 1964 when I was in Vietnam.Or,you might find some
Vietnamese music on internet radio. www.radio-locator.com There is
a radio station (Cymru'r Byd) in Wales (Cardiff or Swansea) I sometimes
listen to.They play some nice music on the radio.I think from midnight
to about 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM their time zone,they are off the air.

I have been using my Yaesu FT-840 for over 7 years for SWL listening. I have added the 6 khz filter and also use it with an old Info-Tech 600 demodulator for SELCAL and RTTY. works great.
