Hehe it is excellent. The filtering and DSP are amazing.

Never was interested in "appliances" meself. I was always a home-brew man. But these days you can't hear anything on HF because of all the interference around here. Time was I would be working in the shed at night and the Yanks would be pouring in on 20, but not these days.

I still have a good home-brew RX that was once a BC-348. These days it's a bit more clever than the old BC-348, though. With its built-in micro keeping it rock-solid on tune and decent analogue lineup, it's a pretty good radio.

But nothing beats the DSP facilities of a modern set. Just can't justify the expense.
