2.0 out of 5 stars Many features, but the most important feature is not!, July 16, 2007

Great concept and idea, but the most important feature is not. This product does NOT tune stations very well. There are about 5 radio stations that I listen to, and I could only tune into 1 of them! I thought that it might be due to my location, so I tried it from home. There, I got 2 stations. It's not due to the signal quality from the radio stations because I have a receiver in the same room which was able to tune into those stations with NO problem. The antenna extension did NO good.

This product is on it's way back to Amazon.

The RadioShark2 suffers from similar problems that the RadioShark has. My RadioShark2 is located in the second story and gets acceptable, not good by any means, reception on FM. The AM section is almost a total joke! The AM reception is very buzzy, hum filled on a strong AM signal much much worse on a weak AM signal. It is barely acceptable on a station 5 miles from my location. At $70 it would be returned! At $40 it does work to pick up FM stations. It is too bad that the AM section is so awful!! The should be a law preventing such misleading comments from the manufacturer in their description of this product.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great product if you like to listen to radio often., January 27, 2007

The RadioShark works well when the radio signals are very clear. I have had to use the extension cable and even then I hear some static. I thought the reception would have been clearer. When recording I have had to use music editing software to clean out the static that comes from poor reception. A great product if you like to listen to radio often.

The Snaptune software gave trouble to install and I deleted it and used the more reliable radioShark software. Overall I am satisfied, but there are many improvements that can be done with his useful tool.
