Default Serious Grundig FR200 Problem

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

Bill, K5BY
