Default Anyone using RS 12-150 AM/FM/WX radio?

Hello,

I bought this new Radio Shack 12-150 and was very disappointed with
AM performance. The GE super radio is way better on AM. You can't tune
in 1 kHz steps and there is some back ground noise. I own a GE Super
radio, a Sony ICF-7600GR, and a CC Radio, they are much better
concerning AM sensitivity and selectivity. I took this radio back,
don't waste your time purchasing it!


I also see poor AM sensitivity. FM is reasonable. The sound is good.

The tuning knob implementation is poor.
