This is an OK product which could have been a really goodbut for the lack of some key features and attention to detail.The good: Digital tuning, good metal build, clockradio function, decent speaker sound (for a little radio), good FM reception, mediocre-average AM reception, good led flashlight, good headphone sound, use of AA (vs AAA) batteries) thus getting longer use.This has some shortwave capability but I wouldn't want to rely on it for that purpose.
Bad or poor: sloppy tuning dial, fiddly switches/knobs too small to use well, NO STEREO through headphones.
Would be nice: a light for the tuning dial, a beeper for the clock for times when you don't want a radio.
Still for $10.00 it's a pretty good buy.If you want a better pocket radio, try the Kaito KA11Kaito Pocket-Size PLL Synthesized AM/FM Shortwave Radio, KA11 .It's better in all categories and not much bigger but 4 times the price.
