I just got one last Friday. I bought it to be a "back porch" radio;
something to use while sitting on the back porch on nice evenings. I bought
it primarily for the tunung knob. I wanted something that I could use to
just slowly tune through the bands at my leisure, not to mention the looks
of the radio in general. I was also attracted to the long battery life and
good sound quality. I have found it to be at least as sensitive off the
whip as my Sangean ATS-909, if not just a tad more so. It's really pretty
good off my 100ft random wire antenna. Its selectivity is marginal at best.
I do have to use the RF knob to eliminate adjacent signals, but it seems to
do the trick for the most part. Yes, it does drift, but I haven't found
that to be too annoying (yet). I would like to thank the person who
mentioned the counterclockwise tuning to alievate this. That does help.
For $99 I have found it to be a good radio. I heard some say that it
reminds them of radios from the 70's that were so bad that it scared many
away from the hobby. If this had been my first radio, it would have simply
stimulated my interest.

I was looking at one of these at restoration hardware and noticed that
the main tuning knob is very cheap, flimsy. The rest of the radio
seemed solid. Has anybody had any problems with the build quality.
Also, is the radio's reception better on MW then the ccrane radio.

Thanx
