In my opinion only - not the opinion of this list or the club that sponsors
the list:
If you are considering buying a Pogo Products' "Radio Your Way" AM/FM/Voice
and MP3 recorder, run away fast! This is a small, hand-held device marketed
as an audio equivalent as a VCR. You use built in timers to record for later
playback.
I won't get into detail here. I only warn you that this could be the most
illogical and poorly designed device I have ever seen in 50+ years! Someone
gave me one saying "maybe you can make this work." After two weeks of
serious dedication to understanding the Japanese-English manual, I am ready
to heave this unit at a brick wall (and enjoy every minute.) The idea is
terrific. The design is horrific!
Also, stay away from radio referenced "atomic" clocks marketed by Atomic
Time. This outfit advertises regularly in QST. I purchased a Zeit wall clock
from them about a year ago. I received a clock that obviously had been
opened and tampered with by another customer. The hands were bent. It was a
disaster. I received a second one that needs to be reset about once a week.
This condition they claim is normal. I have another Zeit clock from about
three years ago that has worked flawlessly from the day I purchased it. I'm
convinced Atomic Time sells returned and refurbished units, although they
don't claim they do. Stay away!
No more 'bah,humbugs.' I just thought I'd warn you!
Merry Christmas, Karl Zuk N2KZ
