   To All Owners Of:  DAK World Band Receiver MR-101s:   
      
   I got mine free at a Take-It-Or-Leave-It barn at my   
   local dump.  Works fine, not the best noise rejection, and    
   the antenna telesopes but no 360° swivel.   
      
   My issue:    
      
   The On/Off Timer function engages every night, at    
   2:08AM, even though I repeatedly reset the on and    
   off times both to 00:00 - 12 midnight.   
      
   It doesn't wake me us as I use it as a kitchen radio,    
   away from my bedroom,  and I discovered it was    
   coming on when I came down one early morning    
   at 2:15 to address my asthma.   
      
   I have since repeatedly zeroed out the on/off times,   
   and of course turned of the On-Time-Off switch.   
      
      
   Please advise me, as the instruction manual is    
   hard to find on line, and the only site that has it it    
   requires account setup to access it - more    
   BULLSHIT.   
      
   Thanks in advance for suggesting anything I might   
   be missing....!   
      
   PS my Grunding Buzz Aldrin G6 had the opposite issue:   
   It would NOT come on when scheduled even though I    
   had followed all the step for it to come on, run for specified   
   time period, and shut back off.   
      
   I know what y'all are probably thinking!
