I can't say that has been my experience. I listen to the BBC for hours.
Look, it's an analog radio. It's not like a Drake R8 or something like that.
If you're into digital tuning, the S350/BCL2000 probably won't satisfy you.
But it's an outstanding medium-sized portable for the price.

I agree with you, Pierre. The BCL2000 is an outstanding radio for the
money. I'm not at all disappointed that I bought one. But the reality
is that it has a few shortcomings, and these make it less than optimal
for certain situations. I was just trying to point out these flaws in
case they were of concern to any potential purchasers.

As to your experience listening to the BBC, are you saying you aren't
seeing the drift that others are experiencing? Do you normally run
off batteries or off the mains? R. Australia was booming in last
night and I listened on my BCL2000 for about an hour. I had to retune
four times in the first 30 minutes because the radio had drifted so
far as to make the signal almost unlistenable. After 30 minutes it
seemed to stabilize. I always run off batteries, so I don't benefit at
all from the stay-warm solution Tecsun implemented for when the radio
is plugged into the mains. I'm wondering if this might explain our
different experiences in this regard.
