Funny you mention this. The other day my VR-5000 was picking up WWV about
every 100 khz over a spread of about 10mhz. I freaked cause it is fairly
new. My R-75 wasn't doing it. I turned it off and back on again then it
was fine! Sorry, I realize this is of NO help to you. I just had to
mention the similarity...

Saturday, sunshine finally returned to SE Texas, so I thought I'd eat
lunch, a
couple of mini pizzas and beer, while sitting on my porch and surfing SW
on the
FR200 I'd recently bought "just because."

The upper band seemed open because, among other things, I heard 20 MHz WWV
for
the first time in a long time. But I heard it in more than one place.
Checking
further, I heard all the other readable stations in two places, 910 kHz
apart.
(Before that, I thought the multiple broadcasts were simulcasts on
different
frequencies.) So the high end wasn't that hot. Oh, and I heard 15 and 10
MHz
WWV stations in two places, too.

But a bad image problem in inexpensive radios is something I thought went
away
with modern circuitry. It has excessive backlash in the tuning, too. I am
really disappointed in the receiver. I'd like to see a jWIN with the
FR200's
features. The upside is that I could pick the signal that wasn't being
interfered with. G
