The performance of an AK808 is fantastic! The two IF stages get rid of any adjacent frequency noise and sensitivity is contest worthy. I've been using my 808 for years and use it for contesting. It's a real problem to replace EVERY wire on the band switch and IF wiring (band wiring is color coded). You also need to use an abrasive to clean the switch contacts; I use a 1/8" diam. fiberglass rod with a chisel point to scrape the crud from the rotors.

The only annoyance that small dial!
