Yes, that listing has been around since around January, Pete, offering to sell
the D-808 model at a low price and ship it almost anywhere except North

Chuck,
Yes, after-the-fact audio processing can often do wonders in improving marginal
signals.
Unfortunately, when a live DXer is in a noisy location and a wimpy audio amp
bails out early, there could be a sudden temptation to throw it off of a 500
