I guess its a matter od doing you homework when it comes to reviews and you’re right about reviews, you read a few and you soon get the idea of who knows and who doesn’t know what they’re talking about or what they’re doing.
When it comes to Short Wave radio sets for example, there’s some really good review stuff out there and not just from those who are paid to review either. Then again - having said all that - some of the offerings on the subject of Short Wave radio sets come from those who ought to give the hobby up as a bad job. There’s a classic review that runs along this vein on the Sangean ATS909x and I’ll try to find the link, I shouldn’t laugh I suppose but the review is certainly side splitting stuff. The chap who does the review tells us he’s been listening to Short Wave for over 50 years and he knows what he’s talking about, he then proceeds to turn on the Asangean ATS909X and examine the Short Wave bands. As people who listen to these bands regularly today will know, they’re not as populated as they once were so the chap - after not receiving anything much on the Sangean - tells us that reception on this radio is dreadful and again he knows, he’s been listening to Short Wave for 50 years! Well now make what you will of all that but my only comment is that Short wave today is certainly not the same as it was 50 years ago or even 20 years ago and you’re certainly not going to receive anything much at 2 O’Clock or thereabouts in an afternoon, that’s when this chap did his review and - as I said - I’ll try and find the link to that again and post it. > On 30 Nov 2014, at 4:53 am, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well, just to be a devil's advocate, here is a very unfavorable review > of the t7.
