Strengths: Sensitivity and selectivity good.Weaknesses: Poor quality, bad LCD display, wayyy overpriced.Bottom Line: This product claims to be the world's best AM radio. Not a chance. Sensitivity and selectivity are pretty good, but the quality is poor. LCD display not working after about a year, knobs falling off, speaker doesn't work anymore (I have to use headphones), power switch on top doesn't work. I have never seen even much cheaper portables fall apart like this.
I will never buy another...

Strengths: Digital tuning, ergonomic shape and heft, battery life almost too long to believe, big LCD display with LED backlighting, rotary tuning knob, excellent AM reception.Weaknesses: Mine hums a bit with AC cord, so I stick to batteries, which means the backlighting times out after a little while. Some of the knobs on the front are a little oddly placed. FM sound only OK, but that's why you should buy this. External antenna hookup not really useful.Bottom Line: Practical, solid design of a type that has filled a real gap in the market for broadcast AM listeners.

Bottom Line: I bought this Radio to use in a RV while traveling. I could not find where it was even as powerful as the RV Radio and was very disappointed in using it. After a year the digital numbers on the front started disappearing and now we cannot even read those. Totally useless for me.
