Great personal radio
I received this radio 2 days ago and it has hardly left my side. I am teathered to a dialysis machine 9 hours a day and use it in my bed. It appears well made with sturdy controls which are not easily changed by moving around in the covers. The digital display has a white background that alternates between time and station with the touch of a button. The white light can be used as a nightlight if desired. The display can be switched on and left on if you want. The tuning and voume switches are easy to operate. There are ten preset stations available for each am and fm band. Reception seems very good and sound quality for this size radio is acceptable. Stereo can be output to headphones but the unit returns to mono when the speaker is used. Other controls are small and could be difficult for someone with large hands to operate easily. There is a lock switch which prevents the accidental operation of other controls. I find no need to use it. The display is easy to read. The printing over each of the controls is medium gray on black background, small and difficult to read but once you get to know the unit should not be a problem. An a/c adapter is included. The unit is handsome but not something to show off. It looks and works as advertised. The instruction booklet is straight forward and simple. Radio is smaller than it looks in the picture and may not be as large as you expect so check the physical dimensions. If you need a radio for personal use (in the bed, office cubicle, or on your person) this one should fill the bill.
