My favorite example of that was a little Sony FM radio I bought a couple years ago to use while bicycle touring. I chose that particular unit because it supposedly included all 7 NOAA weather channels. But when I got it home and tried it I noticed that I was hearing the same audio on all 7 channels with exactly the same weak signal level. I tested it with an HP signal generator, and sure enough it was actually receiving channel 1 on all 7 channels. Took it back to the store for a replacement. Second unit acted the same. Contancted Sony and they denied everything. Told me I must be doing something wrong. So they were shipping a radio with the main feature completely non-functional - and refusing to even acknowledge it as a problem. Do they figure most customers won't notice?
