I went to aes yesterday and spent my Christmas money and bought a vr-500. 
At first look, it seems fairly usable from the keyboard, I've figured out 
how to change modes, and write to memory.  Seems fairly sensitive, 
although i wonder what the duck that comes with it is optimized for.  If I 
go to th weather channel, I get a better signal if I curl my fingers 
around the antenna.  Anyone else on list got any comments or experience 
with this thing?
