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.

Price
Inexpensive, compact, easy to use and decent reception.

I bought this as a quick way to get the traffic and weather report in the morning as i’m getting ready for work.
