Radio Tent survivor drops

Figured I'd do a little experiment with the new radio feature. FWIW These buys were while I was level 22-23 with level 10 Council + level 4 radio tower
First 15 buys with 1 radio:
1* 6/8
1* 5/7
1* 8/10
1* 7/9
1* 5/7
1* 5/9
1* 7/9
1* 6/8
2* 5/9
1* 7/9
2* 4/8
1* 5/8
1* 5/7
3* 4/10
1* 7/9
So ... Doesn't seem very likely that we'll be getting really kick ass survivors with 1 radio anymore, and there is going to be a lot more training of newly recruited survivors required.
My first 3 5-radio buys were all 2* - I'll update as I progress on this one, since it will take longer with higher cost.
If you have thoughts/results/etc please feel free to post below. I'm particularly interested in how people's 15-radio buys have gone...

Right now I'm not a fan of this "improvement" - glad I got several good Rares before the update
Most of my survivors are level 9 now, so the lower levels are pretty useless to me
Thanks for the gathering such a useful info!

The one bit of comfort we can take is that this is the type of thing that will make people quit. If we all end up with survivors that are too weak because we can't find new ones... We'll just stop playing entirely, and i'm sure Next doesn't want that!

I'd link the picture but I have no idea how
I am maxing my newest farm out at the moment (can never have enough cans of soup .) Then I'll be upgrading the radio tent. I don't won't to use radios till it's a higher lvl. When I do I'll post my results here.

First one got me a level 6/10 3 star rare bruiser. Rejected.
Second one got me a level 4/12 4 star epic assault. Retired my 9/13 3 star rare assault to take him in and train him up.

first one got 3 stars
second 2 stars and another 2 stars
i guess better save for 15 radio
1. 4* 7/14 Warrior
2. 4* 6/14 Bruiser
Not bad, considering 3* survivors are the best ive pulled from pre-radiotent callouts, and im character level 32 with counsel level 12.

Something definitely has changed in the odds to get a 3 star or better survivor using only a single radio since the update. Yeah I read the Nextgames denial of this, but my personal experience shows otherwise.
I was some of the lucky ones who got legendary before this update (warrior 16, hunter 16, scout 16) and am not going to retry again until I've maxed my radio tower (just for the lvls) or else they switch the probabilities back. Besides, the survivors I've received pre-radio station are so much better and can pass me all the way to the end of the episodes. Also, they've already gained me 150+ stars last guild challenge.

I think the drop rate for 1-radio is definitely nerfed
3* 6/10 rare bruiser. rejected. (previously reported)
4* 4/12 epic assault. taken. (previously reported)
3* 6/12 rare scout. rejected.
4* 3/11 epic warrior. taken.
The min and max level is too low. I was getting level 7-8 current and 13-14 max level survivors from the 1 radio call outs before. When all my survivors are level 10 already, getting a 3/11 is a joke. I'm going to spend all that XP leveling him up, and he'll be useful for only a very short period of time.

THIS is the biggest problem with the new radio tower. The overall usefulness of a survivor has less to do with the number of stars and more to do with the level. You can clear the game with uncommon survivors if they are high level. The starting level is helpful but really irrelevant overall. The total MAX level is what matters. I'll take a lvl 11/15 uncommon hunter any day over a level 7/10 legendary.
PLEASE FIX THIS!
When i was level 16 + level 8 Council + level 2 Radio Tower:
i tried once with the 15 radio callout i got:
3✭ Gunner 6/10
Now i did another try with the buildings more upgraded:
Level 19 + 9 Level Concil + Level 4 Radio Tower:
on 3 attemps with 15 radio callout i got:
3✭ Bruiser 5/11
3✭ Hunter 5/11
3✭ Scout 6/12
All the time i played this game i only got an Epic Hunter.. nothing else better than that..
Is that so difficult to get an Epic or Legendary survivor?
15 radio call = a rare max level 9
5 radio call = an uncommon max level 10
Dreadful IMO
