What do people say
Some Positive
2) It has a very big and easy to read display with a battery level indicator, a lock display indicator, a 90 minute shutoff capability (that can be disabled during each listening session if needed) with an on-screen indicator, etc. It also has a clock and a backlit display, but see Con below.
3) There is a very nice arrangement (called My Favorites) for as many as 19 presets for any band in any order with simple retrieval of all presets, but only in order from the first one designated to the 19th one in a logical progression (it won’t go backwards to find the previous preset for example).
4) Its deep bass boost is a very nice feature.

Normally I wouldn’t be anxious to hand over $60 for a “pocket radio,” but this ain’t your father’s pocket radio. I’m into my sixth decade on this planet and have seen any number of “pocket radio” variations in that time, none of them as complete a package as this. I’m currently also a talk radio buff and hail the return of AM radio for that format. I also love old analog radio dials but you can’t beat a digital with pre-sets for quick tuning accuracy, especially on a radio this size. Because of its size the speaker sound is on the sharp side but for someone my age with a degree of high-end hearing loss it’s great.

Some Negative
You will NOT be able to receive FM or Weather Radio without first attaching the supplied external antenna (a piece of wire that plugs into the earphone jack) or having the earphones plugged in. If you are counting on the radio as a weather alert radio and don’t have the antenna with you or forget to plug it in, you won’t get the warning. If you have the earphones plugged in, you’ll have an antenna but the speaker is disconnected and you won’t hear the warning unless you are wearing the headphones. Read a full review.
After reviewing everyone else’s comments on Amazon, this unit seemed to be a good choice in terms of value and performance. We’ve tossed out THREE! Sony am-fm-wx portables for dependability (NOT!) issues. Like most buyers have noted, the Sangean’s dangling wire antenna is, well, cheesy, and I find the lack of an AC/plug-in option just plain silly. I put rechargeables in it, figure they’ll last a couple of months between charges.
