Where did you get this radio, I tried searching around for it to read more
but found little??

I apologize for an earlier posting where I was complaining about my Tecsun
R-333. I was in a bad mood because the radio arrived and it seemed to be
DOA. But after I straightened out the bent battery prong (a condition that
could have happened in any battery powered radio), it works just like its
supposed to, and it really does perform at least as good as a $50 radio,
even though it cost only $15.

I really LOVE its tuning apparatus. It has a regular tuning knob which
might
be a bit touchy, even though I've since gotten the hang of it, but the gem
of its tuning is its fine tuning knob. This is completely independent of
the
regular tuning knob. Once you tune the regular tuning knob say to 889, the
fine tuning knob will let you tune nice and slowly from 888 to 891, just
as
smooth and sweetly as the most expensive radio ever made. It's hard to
describe until you see and hear and feel it in action. It does the same
thing on short wave as well, and I just wish every radio used this tuning
method. One of my beefs with the Tecsun BCL2000 (aka S-350) is its fine
tuning. Maybe Tecsun could somehow incorporate its R-333 tuning system
into
future BCL2000s.

As far as sensitivity, the R-333 surprised me once I got my computer
turned
off and the house got quiet. It picked up stations that I didn't expect to
hear on it. On MW and SW, it far surpassed my R97000DX and held its own
with
my DE1102. But if I had to choose between my R-333 (a very simple radio)
and
my Degen 1102 (lots of neat gadgets), I would have to keep the 1102, but
since I don't have to make that choice, then I'm planning to keep both of
them right there on my nightstand and I'm very pleased to have found two
fine keepers.

The R-333 is a fun radio that is way underpriced at $15!!!
