[Electronics-talk] setting radios

[Tracy Carcione]

I recently bought an old-style radio at Target.  It even looks retro, with a 
"wooden" case.  It has 3 knobs:  on/off/FM/AM, volume, and a station tuner. 
Couldn't be easier.
On my big stereo radio, I just use the up and down arrows to find the 
station I want.
