    5 Stars
    Portable. Clear Sound.
    Sony ICF-P36 is a nice addition to my existing Sony radio collection. It is slightly longer and thicker than the ICF-P26, which is supposed to be used in vertical orientation. They have the same design and performance.The tuning dial is located on the top so it’s a bit easier to use on the desktop than the P26 (handheld, tuning dial on the right side).
