I suspect that this is some sort of hideous, Frankenstein's monster of a radio. A real radio that's been infected with a parasitic SDR device, much like the facehuggers from the "Alien" movie. It's disgusting. I'll have no part of it.

But you'll still buy us all one won't you? As the heir to the great Fansome fortune, you've got money to burn.
