[QUOTE="Speeedy6, post: 8829914, member: 688165"] I appreciate the replies to the question. The radio in my work truck is the cheapest walmart had. It was in the truck when I bought it. The reason I know it was a cheap Walmart radio is the original went out the same week I got the truck and I found the same thing at w-mart. I was surprised at how cheap and easy it was to install. It does have presets but it really has too many features. The pre set buttons are tiny , the thing has so many buttons I'm always confused if something needs to be re-set or changed. I thought the thing was broken till I punched more buttons on it after a week without it and I just had the stupid thing on the wrong setting. I'm an old guy with big , stiff fingers and the buttons are tiny. Not only do I have to carefully push them to change channels but sometimes I end up hitting 2 at a time. It's just frustrating. You guys are probably pretty young compared to me . In 60's and 70's cars , the radios had big , mechanical buttons for pre sets. You push those , you better have a strong finger. It had about 3/4 of and inch stroke and made a CLUUNK/CLANK sound and you knew you did something. Ah , the good old days. I would be happy with one of those old radios in a metal box meant to mount on a tractor fender. I checked with pull-a-part. Seems the radio is the first thing stripped out of a car by the regulars to sell online. Thanks for letting me ramble about my frustration . I'll check back if anyone has a suggestion. In the meantime , I may have to read the directions. [/QUOTE]
