2.0 out of 5 stars a lot of problems, a few bright spots, August 30, 2009

I bought this for $6, at a brick-n-mortar store. It was amusing and quirky at that price. At $10, there are much better deals for quality tuning, like the Sony and Panasonic pocket am/fm radios. Oddly enough, the build quality was OK, the tuning bezel was very stable, and the earphones were OK for the cost, driven with mono sound across both L/R, which is fine. The fm tuning was wide and not very sensitive. The AFC grabbed some station on most of the dial, but they hogged. Sound was ~OK, better with $20 headphones. On AM, there were a few fat dial-hogging locals (tuning bandwidth issue), and a weird squeeling-birdie sound around distant stations. You could tune those in extremely tight range with a lot of tweeking. Night AM was a crazy jungle. There is a lot of promise in the contruction and tuning mechanics, but the tuner circuits are buggy. I liked the pendant-hanging mode, once I shortened the cord a bit w/ a figure 8 knot.

Bought this to take to the gym to use on the closed circuit TVs there. Range is very limited and the clip on the back tends to come off. The arm band is pretty much non-functional also.

A real piece of junk. I requested and received a refund. They told me to keep the radio and not to bother sending it back. It's not worth the postage.
