Bought in Paragominas, rural Brazil: Midi MD-55D 12 band 'digital' receiver

Hi there, here's another purchase I made in Paragominas during this trip - from the same shop that I purchased the Midi MD-9500SD digital receiver last year. This radio is described as digital and it does have a digital display, however the receiver is analogue, with a digital encoder. I have to say it works pretty although the display is limited to 10 kHz steps. Analogue is better in this set-up than a proper PLL receiver that only tunes in 5 kHz steps though. Oh, by the way, it cost the equivalent of £17! Brazilian bargain!

Thanks for watching.
