Here is a good basic AM/FM radio, that includes Short Wave Frequencies.
You can use it on batteries (battery life is very good compared to other portable radios Ive used, Two D Cell batteries are not included), or plug it in (adapter included).
Reception for AM/FM is very good. However the short wave is not the greatest, but this could be due to my house not being in a good area for reception.
Its very easy to use. Straight forward commands are in the instruction book (included). It has a nice handle to carry it, and its a nice size. Naturally there is a telescopic antenna that rotates.
All in all its a nice radio! On: 2007-12-11
The buttons are hard to press, and two front buttons broke off after pressing them a couple of times. The tuner works well, but the volume after 10 months cuts in and out when listening.
Setting the clock is unintuitive. On: 2007-01-04
I am a rural mail carrier in CA, and spend five plus hours each day on the road. I have talk radio station that I perfer and this radio gives me the recption that I need. Good value for the price.
