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 was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

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.
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
