I have to wonder why your experience differs so radically from other
S350 owners. Maybe you are bored and trolling for attention?
My take on the S350 is that it is a good looking AM/FM radio that also
has shortwave coverage. It delivers good sounding reasonably loud
audio from non-DX broadcasts and uses just enough controls to get the
job done.
---This morning, I was listening to Australia on the S350 from my apartment
which is not good for reception at all with whip antennas. I only extended
the whip about half way, dialed in the Freq, 9.580, sat the radio on the
desk behind this desk, and listened for over an hour straight through. I
did not have to even turn around to keep adjusting for drift. Loud, clear
sound, tone where I wanted it, and the main thing, I enjoyed it. All for a
hundred bucks. I like that radio.

I played with one in radio shack and it was picking up short wave
stations in the back of the store where you usually don't pick up
anything. I thought the sound was very good from the radio. The only
thing that bothered me was the tuning slow speed is to fast for my taste
and I would want it geared down some more. Well, that and the drift but
that is supposed to be fixed on the deluxe version.
