Only complaint is that setting and using the presets is difficult and non-intuitive. A handy little device at a modest price.
Outside, the radio performs great getting good reception wherever I am, however, inside buildings the signal drops and gets a bit of static. Volume at 1 is silent, volume at 2 is good, volume at 3 is way loud.
If I needed something for indoor sitting at a desk, I would probably be disappointed. Anything above 3 is far too loud to me.Good:Reception outdoorsBattery LifeEase of useNot so Good:Indoor ReceptionVolume controlFor the price, I am very happy and it works as advertised.
I purchased this radio to listen to AM radio (most new radio/mp3 players only receive FM signals). The range of the volume is pretty strange.
Since I don't listen to FM, I can't really comment on it for that. I have had the same batteries in it for over a month and I use it almost daily, so battery life is fine with mine.
Since I use this for walking it is not an issue for me.
But I can configure them again in 2 mins anyway. Fantastic Buy. The only fault is that if you take the batteries off, then it looses all the saved channels.
When I called back immediately, a message came on that said "all circuits are busy". When I asked how long it would take for the refund to go through, they hung up on me. I called the customer service for the seller and they were very rude, but agreed to let me turn it in for a refund.
I took it to work with me on Monday and it worked fine for about an half an hour before the sound just started to fade away into nothingness, no matter how high I turned up the volume. Then the screen, which was never very clear, faded out terribly as well. This product arrived to my house on Saturday.
Now I can only see any of the display at a certain angle, and some parts of it do not show up at all. I find this behavior borderline fraudulent and will never buy from this seller (or perhaps not even Amazon) again. I switched out the batteries, and this DID make the sound louder, but to no good effect because I could no longer get a signal.
Every channel on AM and FM came in as static.
Easy to tune & lock on to stations & volume.My wife & I use it in our church to better hear sermons & goings on.(Church P A system broadcasts on 96.3) An exceptional value.
