BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This is a good, small radio. I purchased it with the hopes of picking up talk radio in my office, but the poor reception combined with the fact that the tuning dial is so small that the slightest bump of the tuning knob isn't accurate enough to tune in AM. It's great for AM/FM outdoors, and not bad for FM indoors.

Reviewed by Sleep Aid (Practical) from Hendersonville, TN on Apr 08, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I use the radio with an ear speaker at night when I have trouble falling asleep. I keep the volume very low. As I turn the volume control the sound comes on abruptly, making it nearly impossible to tune it low without a burst of noise. The tuner and reception is much better than my old Sony that did not have an internal speaker or attached antenna. It is bulkier and heavier than the old one, but that is not a negative for the uses I make of it.

It's getting harder and harder to find a small portable AM radio with good performance! This one has very broad selectivity and a high level of background "grunge" (noise) that affects all but the strongest AM stations. The FM section is satisfactory.

Does what I wanted

Reviewed by dvest (Practical) from Birmingham, AL on Dec 07, 2006

I wanted a radio to listen to AM mostly inside the building where I work at night. Other radios I tried would not pick up any of the stations I wanted to listen to. This one does a great job picking them up clearly. The tuning led helps too. It also does a good job with FM. FM Stations close together on the dial can be a little difficult to lock into. The built in speaker is clear.
