I think the search function on the newer Chinese radios work OK - but
not perfect - and I use them at night in the dark when my XYL is
sleeping. I have a Kaito/Degen 1102 which is pretty sensitive and
searches OK, and also my Realistic/Sangean DX-398/ATS-909 searches
OK. Gotta turn off that beep on the Sangean... but they both work --
Again, not perfect, but acceptable enough to enable searching in total
darkness with the dial light off.

Just my take. Works for me, anyway... // Richards //
