Agreed, although they are fun for band-scanning and in my rural area, I 
typically leave the IF in wideband position in the active part of the 
aircraft band and hear all kinds of stuff that I'd miss with a narrow IF. 

Since the topic of ACL has come up again, I wonder if anyone else has 
(or has info about) the SR-502-1 HF receiver?  It's similar in design to 
the SR-209, 2U high, dual bays, with the nixie freq. counter display in 
the left side and 0.5-30 Mhz tuner in the right.  Continuous tuning, no 
bandswitching, good Collins filters, and lots of good sounding audio.  
Like the SR-209, all solid state (nuvistors were used in the previous 
models).   Not premium but "close"... and the only one I've seen or 
heard of...
