crap radio

I bought an armband radio last week, for
wear when jogging. It's a digital scanning
model; you cannot select a particular station,
it just scans until it finds a signal strong
enough to lock.

It operates via a squelch. ok, I can live with
that. The problem is, when the signal drops,
it doesn't merely shut off, it starts scanning
again! Like "I'm so smart and helpful, we lost
this station, let's find another another one".
No, stupid box, STICK with this carrier until
the signal returns! If I want another station,
I'll press the scan button!

So then I have to reset, and re-start the scan
sequence from the lowest frequency. This
happens every 2 minutes, it's annoying as hell.

Anyway, I just feel like ranting. I trust no one
in this group would ever design anything so ***.
