https://www.elecevolve.com/products/mlite-880  Neat... Looks like table-top SDR features in a slim portable. I want one.

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.

Thinking this RX does not include a ferrite loop antenna for LW/MW, despite the typical form of portable radio ?

https://swling.com/blog/2026/05/revisiting-the-mlite-880/    Cost a little more now, reaching the $200.00USD mark, but for what it does, I still want one.

I'm curious about the radio.... CW mode sounds interesting, as does the LCD waterfall. I'm sort of radio'ed up right now, though, and probably will opt for a different radio if I get another one.

Ordered the ML-880 direct from Hong Kong and it arrived today, 8 days. Wow, this may be the best portable receiver I have. Comparing it to side by side to the Icom-IC705 connected to a few of my real tenners and in the first few hours I have not found any signal that IC-705 handles better, and the NR on this is insane. Not done much with it on the stock ship yet, but pretty amazing. Highly recommended!
