While quite sensitive, the "Twin coil ferrite", offers no improvement in sensitivity over earlier CCradio versions, or the SANGEAN PR-D5. More selective than earlier models, but not better than the SANGEAN PR-D5 at hearing stations +/- 10 KHz away from a local. In fact, above about 1100 KHz, locals can be heard over much of a 360 degree sweep 20 KHz away from the local. If you want the WX band and 2 M ham band in a bulkier package than the SANGEAN, but with otherwise identical reception as the SANGEAN, plan on spending $60 more for the privilege.
