Thanks for the feedback John. I appreciate the AM data as I listen to AM broadcast on my FT-1000 MP Mk5 all the time and it sounds good and doesn't tend to unlock. I've used the Sherwood unit ... very nice! I also had an R-4C with all of Bob's stuff in it ... best receiver I ever used on CW ... and I see his new ratings give the T-T Orion top billing now. 73, Mike W9MWS
