Nostalgic 1980s style analog radio!!
I received the radio today. Quite pleased with it. Very easy slide wheel tuning. Picks up all stations in a room with no windows. Some reviews stated it lacked bass, but is a great mid-tone radio. Slim stature. Retro circa 1985 styling. Has that 1980s boxy look. Volume is great in the low range to fill a room. Strictly an analogue radio. No DSP chip. For it's size, sound and clarity are very nice. Remember folks, this is a small analog radio. It does not have software enhance sound. Like a 60s/70s era transistor radio. Probably not for the Milenial Set. Basic, runs on 2 AA batteries. Great desk/table radio where there is no power source. Folding handle. For the over 50 age group, you will like it. Basic, portable and not a battery hog. 100 hours of power from 2 AA batteries. You can't go wrong. Nice metal grill too! I'd give it a try!!
