I just run mine off the 'mains'. I put batteries in it though for when
bad stuff happens (power outage, severe weather, etc.)

What do you use your S800 for?

Doesn't it have a slight AC hum, particularly through the headphones?

When you turn the tuning knob fast, doesn't the noise floor go way up?

Does your low battery indicator start flashing about an hour after you put new
batteries in? Does your sync start to how after you've left batteries in a
while?


I've had a lot of radios. I'm just suggesting that compared to the others I've
owned, the S800 is disappointing.
