Yeah, I'm not saying it's an entry-level radio.  $540 is actually a good 
price if it's in operating condition. I doubt you'll find one cheaper.  
They're generally still in the $650-900 range.

I paid $900 for mine but it was like-new and had all the extra features 
except the temperature-controlled oscillator reference. It IS a great 
radio for SWL as well as ham radio usage.

TS-440's are also decent and are much smaller.  You might find one of them 
for $250.
