It's just that sometimes, a person will read a claim of "this cheaper radio
works just as well as (big-rig-model-here) works" and accept it at face
value,
not considering the many factors which would cause such a claim from one
reviewer or user.


I agree. The only 'cheap' radio (money wise) and I have no idea why they are
cheap that I own is my GE P780 that Brenda Ann sent me. Maybe because there is
no wal wart and it is strictly BCB and it just has two screws on the back, one
for the external wire and the ground. It takes six (I think) D cell batteries.

But for basically $48-50 and that includes shipping, you can have one of..if
not the best made (like a tank) BCB radios. I liked and was so impressed with
my first one that I'm getting a second.

Put it this way, so far, no loop has really improved a signal on it yet and
it'd be the perfect radio if all he** broke loose, nuclear or whatnot to have
with you. Plus you could actually use it for self defense, you hit someone
with it and it's all over. Then you can listen about it on the radio. ;-)

But that's my 'cheapie story'.....and I feel extremely fortunate to have two of
them. If any of you are into BCB dxing and can get one in here or on ebay, do
yourself a favor and grab it, you won't be dissapointed.
**no FM or TV or shortwave, just BCB**
