This is a feature packed portable, with some quirks such as lack of FM mode on shortwave. It has a LNA amp feature that appears to duplicate the Hi-Z function on Malachite portables. It has a very good feature that enables vertical or horizontal screen display. And it has both BT and WIFI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">On the downside the reviewer notes cross modulation from AM\/FM signals which appears even with the LNA pre-amp off. I would say that for anyone interested in this receiver, perhaps waiting until design changes address this and other downsides.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TqZTIdlQR5I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for this review recommendation, Dan. <\/strong><strong>Looking at eBay, I see that <a href=\"https:\/\/ebay.us\/NKGkQA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ATS-120 is pretty affordable at about $115 US shipped<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers: If you&#8217;ve ordered the ATS-120, we&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who writes: This review of the ATS-120 is quite good and should be of interest to SWLing readers.
