   There's always the possibility there's something wrong with your particular   
   radio and this isn't a normal or adjustable condition.  How are the reviews   
   for that radio?  Model number?  I honestly think a lot of calibrations are for   
   the lowest common    
   denominator - people with no idea of accuracy but think loud one note   
   "thumping" is quality sound...   
        
   Yeah, a lot of groups were polluted by political assholes and killed them off   
   - the downside of no moderation.
