Comments about Rolls RS80 - Quartz PLL Synthesized AM/FM Tuner:
I use this tuner as a rack mounted receiver with my studio mixer for a background audio sound source. The receiver sounds excellent with FM. AM sound quality is good but not at the same level as FM. This receiver is well made with durable controls along with a remote that includes a standby switch. AM and FM antennas are included with the reciever. The FM antenna is particularly good. Very compact unit.

Comments about Rolls RS80 - Quartz PLL Synthesized AM/FM Tuner:
Rack mount tuner with lots of bells and whistles, large orange LCD display, XLR or RCA outputs, switchable voltage, presets, RDS display, remote control. Comes with an antenna. No country of origin, but remote says made in China. Looks like the ROLLS label was an afterthought and just silk screened, we assume, after import. We just wanted a reliable air monitor and it's fine for our remote studio.
