Re: Radiwow R-108 "Warranty"

Hi Gary,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I do get to see it for about 1 second then it goes back to the time. I would like it to remain on the screen in the upper right hand corner as the manual states. I have done exactly as you have stated. Is that the way it functions; a quick glimpse? Pete

Tried, can't get it.

Pete,
Toggle the "Display" button (the one below the orange On-Off button, with the "key" logo) until you get the same dBu/dB signal strength display that shows up on the Tecsun PL-310/PL-380 models.

My apologies for changing the thread.
I have question.
How do I get the Radio R 108 to show signal strength?
Tried, can't get it.
Thanks
Pete

I don't think I'll ever buy a C.Crane radio though, but for an entirely different reason: none of the C.Crane models I know of features the longwave band. So these radios are out of the picture for me anyway. I'll also keep on buying DAB+ radios and TV settop boxes from CGV, a local company here that has its production manufactured in China. > Also, what about Tecsun? Where are they based? Are they stealing > designs or doing it themselves? I quite like my PL-606. > Since many of the Tecsun radios are, I think, based on the same chip as the C.Crane/XHDATA... I have my doubts. Anyway I had several Tecsun models, and I was never really pleased with them. The PL-880 I had was a piece of crap... The PL-660 might have been rather good if the frequency display hadn't been several kHz off and if the synchronous detector had worked. The PL-310 and the PL-380 were pretty good, but after 6 months all the buttons were dead and the radios were useless, and the PL-310ET had such poor audio that I gave up using it after two weeks. I have several models from SONY, dating back to the previous millenium and they are in much better condition after almost 3 decades than the Tecsuns after as many months. Regards, Rémy.
