impressed Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
recieved a new wr-11 yesterday. i live in a metal structure. its all but impossible to get radio reception here
i removed radio from well packed box n hooked it up. tuned to my favorite station 38 miles away n WOW it came in loud. never had that good of an fm reciever in this house as this 1 is.
now time to enjoy. OH its setting about 10 feet from my 2 meter icom and yaesu radios. 80 watts talking on simplex didnt bother the fm reception. i belive its a keeper

Update - Still Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Had to update the review after experimenting more with the WR-1 receiver. Hooked an external FM antenna (single element folded dipole) with correct matching transformet, etc, 75 ohm coax with type F connector to the radio. I was fully expecting the radio to overload on FM broadcast just like every other receiver I've ever owned, but to my surprise, the receiver SENSITIVITY and SELECTIVITY is better than any other analog or PLL synthesized receiver I've ever seen. My antenna element is atop the roof (about 30 feet) and I am receiving one station on EVERY allocation, from 88.1 to 107.9. I have several 100,000 watt stations within 20 miles of my house and STILL YET can hear very distant NEXT ADJACENT SPACED channels. This thing must have an extremely tight, high quality I.F. filtering system.

As I mentioned in a previous review, the AM selectivity is also excellent, but I thought the FM performance was highly, highly above normal.

73, N4DBM.
