    Not great reception. I use it when walking and have to keep turning the radio to get reception. Also, changes band and station very easily.

    I needed a small radio to listen to the hockey game at the game as the sound is so bad you can't understand announcer so my new radio is perfect so I can listen to radio announcer. 2 other people told me where to go to get it.

    It is rather pricey because it is made by Sony but I use it primarily to take to baseball and football games. It takes only one triple a battery and it is easy to install. I would also recommend it if you like to run because it is small and light and can attach easily to your belt.

    Needed a radio for an IndyCar race we were attending (Indy 500). Had bought a cheap one before and signal was not constant. Decided to spend a little more to see if we could get a constant signal. Signal was good the entire race. Sound is good. Form factor is functional. Like the weather channel feature. Also now using when mowing... Overall a good radio - which is harder to find today than you would think.

    This was for a 69 year old client and he had this one before but the battery cap got lost so the batteries didn't stay in well. So awesome we got the exact same one. A little pricey considering it's only a radio.

    Second one I've owned. Bought one 10 or 12 years ago (for a bit less) and thought I'd broke it when it fell out of my pocket and hit the tile floor, but nope , after finding that it was still made and had it ordered and on the way I discovered that the ear bud (purchased separately, and much preferred over the headphones) wires had snapped, radio was fine. Gave the new one to my son and he loves it. Like the digital lock, no losing the station, easy on battery, great for talk radio. Hope they keep making this model because one day I may actually break the radio. Tip, use a safety pin on the pocket and you won't drop the radio and yank an ear bud out of your ear.
