The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

I bought a D-808 a few years ago and I can attest that on MW it is as good or better than every desktop receiver that I own.  Not sure about this new version but they got it right for the 808 (which if my memory is correct I purchased from a site in China and the radio was shipped to me from Israel).  The only thing that I don’t like is that the radio can’t use regular alkaline batteries - just a rechargeable lithium ion type.
