5.0 out of 5 stars RF-2400, February 28, 2006

Its not often manufacturers get simple things right, but this is one of them. The RF-2400 is a basic FM/AM radio with no extras. It has a big heavy speaker with a great tone and none of that high frequency tizz that others mistake for quality. Its not obvious in the picture, but the design is exceptional - it is just pure well thought out functionality that looks good and sounds better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for the price, June 8, 2006

Pros: Excellent tone from the large speaker, accurate analog tuning dial with large numerals to guide you, great plug in adapter that isn't one of those ugly "wall warts" (a box with a plug that goes into your wall), LED tuning light, good handle that folds back completely, battery compartment cover is attached so you won't lose it.
Cons: Selectivity is off a bit on FM - stations that are very close together may bleed into each other, the antennae doesn't swivel 360 degrees - only sideways.
For this price, this is a very good value. I like this radio - mostly because it has such a large speaker for such an inexpensive radio and produces a nice sound. Well worth 20$

4.0 out of 5 stars Fair Radio Is Worth the Money for Casual Radio Needs, October 1, 2004

For the price, the Panasonic 2400 is worth it, that is, if you have no special reception needs. The AM/FM sensitivity is fair and adequate, not great. Separation of stations is only fair so if you have a lot of competing AM stations you may not like this radio and may want to buy, for seventy dollars more, the Grundig S350. But if your AM station is strong and doesn't have interference, you'll probably be happy with the 2400. Its best feature is its speaker, three inches big and superior to the speaker on my 79-dollar Sony SW35. For someone who is a bit of a fanatic about radios like myself, I cannot recommend the 2400. With its weak separation, I just cannot warm up to it. I would rather spend more money on the aforementioned Grundig S35. But at the 35-dollar price point, I think the best radio, featuring digital reception and presets, would be the Sony ICF-M410V. You'll have to pay another fifteen for the AC adaptor, for a total of fifty bucks, but it's well worth it for an "every day" radio.
