In the morning, when the radio alarms to music, the volume is not enough to wake you

I eventually just used a sharpie to mark where I like the alarm volume to be, so I didn't have to turn it on to check the volume after my husband was asleep.(5

After 6 weeks, I'm noticing distortion on the AM dial at any volume louder than low levels

As others have written, the louder the volume, the boomier the base, but not so much that it bothers us

I used it several times a week to listen to talk radio, never even once at loud volumes.

With the K-200, you have to physically turn the volume knob to the level you want the radio to turn on to in the morning; this is a pain if you also listen to the radio at a louder volume during the day
