Well, since it's come up lately on our forums, and since we're clearing out radios we DON'T need at our station, here's one....

$59 and we'll pay standard shipping charges! (we ship only in the contintental US) PM us for the paypal address.

THE GOOD:

Nice shelf radio. I say "shelf" because, while it LOOKS portable, there's no battery compartment, it's strictly a home or office radio. Being digitally tuned, there is a delay in the sound you hear from this radio, if placed next to ANY analog radio...not a big deal if it's the only radio in earshot.

-READS FM ANALOG RDS DISPLAYS OF ARTIST, TITLE (dependent upon quality of signal received, this happens with ALL RDS radios)

-HAS ALARM

-HAS EXTERNAL INPUT FOR AUDIO VIA 1/8" STEREO JACK IN BACK

-FM ANTENNA IS REMOVABLE, EXPOSING STANDARD COAX-INPUT FOR EXTERNAL LONG-DISTANCE FM ANTENNA

-HAS INPUT FOR AM ANTENNA (LOOP ANTENNA INCLUDED, NOT NEEDED FOR LOCAL SIGNALS)

-LIGHTED DISPLAY BUT NOT TOO BRIGHT FOR BEDROOM USE

-HAS INDICATOR FOR HD (DIGITAL) RECEPTION.

-DECODES HD RADIO (HYBRID DIGITAL-IBOC FORMAT)

-PLAYS AM IN STEREO WHERE AVAILABLE ON STRONG SIGNAL (C-QUAM FORMAT)

-FRONT HEADPHONE JACK

-OVERALL "COOL" LOOK AND DESIGN.

-PLASTIC COVER STILL ON LCD DISPLAY! WILL LOOK LIKE NEW WHEN REMOVED!

THE BAD:
-AM STEREO is not as "FULL" as we'd like to hear it, and there's no indication when AM STEREO is being received in analog format. Your EARS will notice, however.
-AC ADAPTER is bulky, hangs on wall, larger than standard "wall wart."
OVERALL:
Nice radio, depending on your use. Good for AM STEREO (C-quam) radio collector, but don't JUDGE AM's stereo potential by this one...there are better AM stereo radios out there.
