sound and feel like an old toy.

JA toys usually look and feel better then USA counterparts :-)

MP sound can be greatly improved by NB and AGC modifications.
YT1NT measured AGC BW of over 200 kHz badly distorting even background
noise.
Human ear is very susceptible to that.  Let's wait for ARRL figures.

P.S.  First IF BW is also needed for NB!  DSP HF DC RX technology needs two
more ADC bits.
