Default Jwin radio.. kewl... :)

Got my little Jwin radio in the mail today. For what it is, it's totally
amazing. Put in a pair of cheap carbon batteries, and away it went. First
thing I noticed was the calibration.. don't know how they managed such
accuracy in something so tiny. I thought previously that it may have had a
frequency counter, but now I rather think it's just a voltage controlled
output to an ADC.

Anyway, everything on FM was right where it should be. Then on to AM.
Everything there spot on, too. Don't know many SW frequencies for various
stations, but I do know WWVH, and even here inside my little concrete and
steel bunker of an apartment, both 10 and 15 MHz were on the money...
totally amazing.. and not bad sound, either. Rather reminds me of the good
old days when quality of sound mattered in a pocket radio..

Going to play around a bit with it in the next few days to see how far I can
push the band edges. Already it will go from 86.3-109.4 on FM, and from 502
to 1721 on BCB, so it effortlessly covers the Xband.
