Depending on the definition of excel.

The RX320 with the BCB filter disabled, the T3 input transfomer  
replaced (the RX320 LF mod) and perhaps a LF/MF preselector and  
attenuator added is perhaps the "best" Ten-tec for DXing on LW and  
MW. But it needs the mods.

For all the xcvrs they deliberately roll off the low frequency  
performance (to match the MF and low HF noise floor and keep local AM  
BCI to a minimum).
