Listening to the AM local broadcast bands is a pleasure, and the FM stations sound, crisp, clear and bright. Perfect!
Search my name and the radio's model number on youtube for a full, in-depth review of this item.
Features I like about this radio:
* The audio quality on this portable is amazing.
* The run time with 2-AA batteries is 100 hours!
* The metal speaker grill that runs across the entire front looks awesome.
* Separate On/Off switch. Not part of the Volume knob.
* Carrying Handle.
* FM and AM reception is decent, not stellar but decent.
* The tuning dial is separated out nicely and its easy to read.
* The fit and finish is Sony quality. Excellent.
Features that could be added or improved on:
* A bass boost button, or some type of tone control for the FM.
* A DC Line in jack. This radio is big enough to benefit from this.
* Get rid of the high gloss wrap around finish.
Overall, go run out and buy one before they sell out. Its one of my best sounding portables for its price range. Enjoy your new radio!
