Well I guess it had to happen to someone as it did to me. I got this radio during the winter, so it was too cold to go outside with this (my condo is in a very heavy RF noise hole). Long story short, this radio is as deaf as a rock on HF. WWV and RHC are DX on this radio. It works OK on FM but seems a bit weak on AM (but this was in the daytime). I suspect a blown front end. Unfortunately it's too late to return it as I had to wait until the weather was warm enough to actually use it outside. I've been a ham for almost 15 years and in the SWL community for twice that. And yes, before someone asks, the attenuator switch was all the way up. I guess I was one of the unlucky ones. Off to the recycle bin at Best Buy this weekend.
