=>The reception sensitivity data indicates that the UR 18DSL has higher sensitivity than product M. The
evaluation results based on listening indicate that the UR 18DSL and product M provide equivalent
sensitivity when used outdoors to receive broadcasts from nearby stations, but for outdoor reception of
broadcasts from stations at a middle distance (of about 100 km), the UR 18DSL provides higher
sensitivity than product M.
Similarly for indoor reception, both radios provide equivalent sensitivity for reception from nearby
stations. The UR 18DSL, however, provides higher sensitivity than product M for reception from stations
at a middle distance (of about 100 km).
* Radio reception varies depending on time zone, weather, and other environmental conditions (including
the effects of electric appliances, fluorescent lamps, and personal computers).
