Is your radio anything like the Ross Worldmaster:

For what it's worth, I fixed up a Ross Worldmaster last year, although that
radio didn't have any problems with reception.

Wow, I have a Ross, have had it for two summers. I NEVER thought it was a
'World Master.'

I keep that one radio in a seperate room with a Radio Shack reel in antenna
(the one with theadpter that pushes 'onto' your whip.....which I actually
prefer.

But I knew that picture didn't look nothing like mine so I got up and went and
physically brought it in here and shined it up real good.

On my sig, I've always had Ross #2311 because that's all I saw.....duh!!!!!!
Mine has the face plate in sparkling stainless steel or chrome. {?} It says
on the lid *Solid State Multi-Band Sounds Around The World. In between the
words Band and Sounds is a 'lip' that you lift the cover up.

It doesn't come off, on the inside of the lid on the left is the 'Time Dial'
and underneath it says "outer Dial/Time of Day - -Inner Dial/Zone No. and on
the right hand side of the inner lid it has a map of the world with the numbers
starting on the far left of 1 through and ending at 24.

Help me out here Frank, I've never paid this dial much attention, what do you
do? Like right now it is say 2am(local)....which is 0600UCT how does that dial
coincide with that.......then what- you match it with the map of the world and
know what their UCT is?

That's something that I never paid it any attention, *BUT* underneath the dial
and writings like I said, I'll be darn if it don't say 'World Master.' :-D

This thing is in MINT condition other than a small fact that it looks like (was
like this before I got it) someone was painting and there's like tiny tiny
little specks-maybe seven of them of white paint.

It has seven 'push down' switches that I had cleaned with contact cleaner and I
cleaned the 'tone' knob that has bass and treble and the volume knob.....even
has a RED button that says Dial Light on it - and it works fine.

Each switch is in different BRIGHT colors and it has in order
LW(red)/AM(orange/MB(Green)/SW1.2(Blue/SW3.4(Brown)FM(Red/VHHF1.2(Green)

It has a 38"Telescoping Whip, that hwen pulled all the way out, it rotates
360%.

Thanks for bringing it up and getting me up to take a look at it more closely,
I have a *Ross World Master* -gee-gotta change that sig now. ;-) FWIW, it
really is a good sounding and extremely selective SW radio, which I would want
over sensitivity really.

Time to move her in the shack. Thanks!
But FRank or someone, I know it must be easy, but what's the deal with the dial
and how does it work.....gotta be late.
