Jam to your favorite AM/FM radio stations and get current weather updates with this portable digital AM/FM radio that features 20 AM/FM station presets and weather band reception.
Posted by: Hopman
from San Jose, CA
I bought this radio primarily to listen to ball games while exercising. Unfortunately the reception is not what I expected based on other product reviews.
The reception on lower AM stations such as 560 and 680 and even the FM stations is very poor, and lots of interference is received from the treadmill at the gym, or from my Blackberry is it gets too close to the radio.
While driving the other day I tried to get the baseball game on this unit instead of the car radio, since my passangers didn't want to listen. The reception was much poorer than the car reception, and I had to continually point the radio in a certain direction to improve the reception. Is my unit a lemon or is this product's reception horrible?
