The goods news? It looks like this non-DSP radio is a good MW AM performer. But, FM might be ehhh, while SW sucks. There's the spoilers, now here's the meat & potatoes,    https://radiojayallen.com/panasonic-rf-562d-retro-design-am-fm-sw-portable-radio/

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

Looks like a decent radio. Obviously, SW is included just as a novelty, but being that little is really out there on SW right now, the 'crowded' dial that Allen complains about really is a non-issue.

Glad to read that it's good on MW.
