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

This is the same garbage radio, as the S350 !


Stay away from this radio. Quality control problems. With the AM
switched to narrow, the thing is deaf except for a few locals.
Sensitivity improves alot in the WIDE mode, but the tuning shifts... to
tune 880kHz, I have to tune to 890kHz to center it

The FM is also bad... living near two 50kw'ers, the entire band is
useless. The WX picked up the local station 20 miles east, but one of
the 50kw'ers would bleed in if I moved the whip around.

Bass and Treble controls are reversed and the huge knob is not easy to
work with (an UP/DOWN button would have been better).

Audio quality is OK. There is an AUX input jack. The diplay is nice,
if not a little too bright (the backlight stays on with AC... it goes
off after 5 seconds using batteries).

I got mine last Sat, it was the only one in the store.
