It features improved RF performance for urban environments, quicker tuning, surface-mount technology components, and a UNISET frequency-control system. Praised in Stereophile's October 2001 review by Larry Greenhill as a winner for its excellent sensitivity, quieting, musical sound, multipath handling, and value at $1595. Includes fluorescent display readable from listening position, eight presets, wide/narrow IF bandwidths, and upgradeable to FTA-100 for AM-stereo. Chassis offers 19" rack-mount or 17" consumer width with 16-gauge steel for RF shielding.
