Switch to medium.

That is a good idea, at night.

Is this about sliced bread thicknesses?

It's a good idea, when small is too tight and large is too baggy.

I like this thread. Whatever happened to appraising the middle ground. Just because something's "middle" doesn't make it average or boring.

If you absolutely refuse to eat it rare, then I suppose medium is better than well done.

But I Large!

It is better than 35mm and Large is to inconvenient. If only Bronica's weren't so bloody expensive.

Large ain't in charge, anymore
Small starts to fall, to the floor.

you get 24 hours recording time on Medium, 19 on High and only 12 on Best. (40 on Basic, yes, but it hurts to watch)

I tried to do this AND IT WAS ALREADY THERE!

Is AM the same as medium?

What about this? It boasts 'military-style controls'.

FM doesn't work very well here.

Worldspace?

Or do you mean as in "Medium, Large, or Supersized"?

For 100 bucks (and I got Eton's $30 retail Backup Buddy radio for free via a Circuit City promotion when buying the S350) I don't think you can beat this radio for really good AM/DXing and an interesting shortwave reception experience.
Make no mistake, this is not a great SW radio, indeed it is just okay for the casual user. It is however a darned good AM/DXer. Almost as good as the CC.
I live in central Illinois and I easily pulled in at night most major East Coast and Southern AM DX stations. Chicago majors anytime of day are crystal clear with no distortion. The farthest west was Dallas so far. The farthest east was WCBS New York. Toronto stations are strong. KDKA in Pittsburgh was like just next door.
But this radio is really all about that fun tuning knob. The analog tuner with a digital display is a real treat and it harkens back to my youth, when I turned the analog knob of an old HeathKit SW radio and imagined Martians invading Earth via bizarre frequencies.
It is simply so much fun to slowly twirl that knob. To listen through the static, the weird alien sounding buzz, an occasional morse code, the pirate station, the distortion, and then a signal jumps out loud and clear. Just twirl.
Sure you have to keep fiddling with that magic knob to keep from drifting, but that is part of the pleasurable nostalgia of old time radio that this reasonably priced receiver gives. Want more - pay more.
This radio is a serious AM/DXer but for SW it is just for fun.
Oh and by the way, it sounds pretty good with that big speaker, bass and treble controls. FM sounds great through this large audio.
I can't give the radio a 5, but it is a very solid 4 considering the low price.

Are you telling Americans not to use the word 'regular'. I concur!

Sorry, but I like to know that my beverage moves its bowels at a healthy rate.

We talked about this thread, in real life, on Saturday night.
