A HALF INCH OF SLOP?????
That is terrible.

Hi Jim:
Agreed, that is not good. The trick with a sloppy tuner is to
keep the needle moving up or down the band. If you overshoot a
station that you want to stop on the slop becomes a challenge. I was
surprised too because when I tried the one in the store it was not
apparent although I checked another unit and found the same looseness.
That said it is a great sounding radio. I have hooked the
Grundig S-350 up to it and improved the Grundigs audio tremendously.
This thing has spoiled me when it comes to listening to anything else.
No doubt, in six months time, the novelty will wear off.
Regards, Bob
