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


As I said, I'm happy with both radios, as they each serve my purpose.


I don't believe you, that weight is with batteries. As a repacked
S350, it only weighs 1 pound, as the spec. sheet states. The 12-150 is
still a cheap piece of ****, with switches that don't work, and a
kludgy tuning dial - I can smell crap from a mile away !




The fact that you don't believe it doesn't change the fact that my 12-150
weighs in at 4 lbs 11 oz without batteries.

And once again, I'm happy with both the 12-150 and the S350DL.


The S350 series is a fine radio for the money and it does what it was
intended to. Which is to provide good sounding audio from stations
broadcasting on AM, shortwave and FM on a radio that is designed for
straightforward operation using no superfluous controls.

How does the AM and FM performance on the 12-150 compare with the
Grundig.
