There are lots of radios that get good reception. This one has the advantage of being very small too. It has twenty (20) memory locations divided into four categories: 10 for FM stations, 5 for AM stations, and 5 television stations. Additionally, it has the ability to receive the National Weather Service radio stations.

The radio comes with a decent pair of headphones - NOTE: There IS NOT a built-in speaker on the radio. You must use headphones. This can be a real safety issue for those who want a radio for jogging or cycling. Don't try to wear headphones while in traffic.

My preferred use for this little gem is for late-night listening in bed. I enjoy listening to Dave Letterman's Top Ten List every evening, but don't always want to be parked in front of the television. It's a great way to listen without bothering others around you.

Battery life is reasonable, it takes a single AAA battery. I generally use alkaline batteries. I haven't tried rechargeable batteries. A single alkaline battery is good for 10-15 hours of listening time.

One last item that I really enjoy is the "Hold" switch. When put in the lock position, you don't need to worry about accidentally changing channels when you bump a button. It's a simple thing, but really adds a lot to the usefulness of the radio.

I've been using mine for a couple of months now. I highly recommend it to all.
