Bill:

This is the downside to inexpensive receivers;
You hear " everything " all over the dial.

The Jwin JX - m-14 I bought for $15 has the same problem;
local AM stations show up all over the dial.

BUT the Double reduction Sangean 606A does not have these problems.

Walking around with the Jwin in the A.M. I can pick up Radio Australia
and Radio Canada. Works for me.

The FR-200 Is probably a good set to have in an emergency. You won't have to
tune too far to hear whatever local station is broadcasting.

During the NE Blackout last summer, Whilst driving back from Midtown Manhattan,
sans stoplights ( Used to be a Cab Driver, no worries )

I could pick up all sorts of stuff on a single reduction set. Local stations
had kicked into Generator backup, BBC sailed in from Ascension & Antigua,
All with news that we had no electricity.

- So you all ready have the radio.

Suggest stocking up on Wine, Beer & candles

Saturday, sunshine finally returned to SE Texas, so I thought I'd eat lunch,
a
couple of mini pizzas and beer, while sitting on my porch and surfing SW on
the
FR200 I'd recently bought "just because."

The upper band seemed open because, among other things, I heard 20 MHz WWV
for
the first time in a long time. But I heard it in more than one place.
Checking
further, I heard all the other readable stations in two places, 910 kHz
apart.
(Before that, I thought the multiple broadcasts were simulcasts on different
frequencies.) So the high end wasn't that hot. Oh, and I heard 15 and 10 MHz
WWV stations in two places, too.

But a bad image problem in inexpensive radios is something I thought went
away
with modern circuitry. It has excessive backlash in the tuning, too. I am
really disappointed in the receiver. I'd like to see a jWIN with the FR200's
features. The upside is that I could pick the signal that wasn't being
interfered with. G
