This Panasonic RF-1150 is getting more interest than I usually see for this model. I wonder what the final bid will be.
More surprising is a rare mint condition Panasonic Cougar RF-888 bidding only for about $122 with 11 hours to go. I'd figure this RF-888 would command close to $300.

Nice to see the comparisons, Tom. Notice nothing has changed much in radio offerings in the last 5 years with the exception of DSP chips.

But I would argue that the availability of DSP chips is a real game-changer, the biggest change in radio since digital tuning. It certainly is for FM reception -- no more front-end overload, the bane of relatively sensitive but cheap radios! The jury seems to be out for the other bands; there seem to be more variables in play. But for FM, most of my DSP-based cheap radios perform comparably to my mid-to-high-end NAD tuners.
