Pros & Cons

Pros

This pocket radio is awesome. Easy use radio. Fun little radio. Nice size. Highly recommend this fantastic and functional little radio.

This is a good quality pocket sized radio. Shipped in a snug panasonic compact box. Also sent a four pack of aa batteries, panasonic super heavy power.

Panasonic rf-p50 is almost the same size as this, but its control to tune is better than this, i guess. The new radio has digital tuning. The tuning dial can be accessed from the top or side. Tuner locks in and holds a station.



Cons

Radio has poor reception on both am and fm. Am stations could hardly be tuned to be heard. Fm was static filled.
