@tek_dmn It's very much of a cool Swiss army knife that does many things, but has some shortcomings you should be aware of too.
1. You will need to study the manual and play a LOT to get everything. It's not intuitive.
2. Shortwave is AM only, and has very poor sensitivity. It's kind of an "also does" thing like the crappy scissors on your Swiss Army knife. A $100 tecsun will blow it out of the water.
3. APRS for GPS tracking works fairly well. It's reception of APRS packets isn't the best.
