- This is a trifle overstated. RS's upper-end scanners, for example, are widely
- considered to be among the best available, and they have a long history of
- reliability. Many of their short wave (now often called "world band") radios
- are also well-regarded (these are relabelled Sangean units, so I guess you
- could say that they're not really a RS product).
-
- In general, though, you're right. My take on this is that I assume that
- anything RS offers is bad until I have some information to the contrary.
