Just like the Grundig S350, CCradio, and SR III this radio is all hype
- it is an S350 look-alike and has the same cheap crap plastic casing
and smelly imitation-leather handle. There was a review on eham.net,
where a guy's RS 12-150 WX radio failed the first day, because his
wide/narrow switch shorted out. All of these super-duper DX machines
perform the same as most decent AM/FM radios.

NSA-Rejected - "it is an S350 look-alike"

Do you even know what the Analog-Tuning Grundig S350
/ S350DL Radio looks like ? -and- The RadioShack 12-150
High-Performance PLL Tuning AM/FM/WX Radio is "PLL"
Digial Tuning with Presets.

now talk about artificial and synthetic replys

I had the piece-of-**** S350 and returned it to RS a yeat ago - all of
my other AM/FM radios, including my car radio, get the same stations.
Never again, will I buy Grundig/Tecsun/Eton Chinese-made garbage ! The
WX and S350 have the same cheap, over-sized, mostly-hollow cases !
