Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This versatile little device is billed as a keychain radio, but it connects to a host of other items thanks to its cleverly designed carabiner fastener. Attach it to a golf bag and listen to business news as you stroll across the fairway. Hook it onto a knapsack and enjoy a jazz soundtrack as you hike through a city park. It also connects to such items as briefcases, belt loops, and tackle boxes, giving you a wealth of radio-listening options. Thankfully, accessibility isn't its only valuable trait. In addition to receiving the full FM spectrum through its auto-scan tuner, it also offers a built-in flashlight that comes in handy on the trail once the sun starts to set, along with a compass that helps you locate the campsite after a long hike. Even better, the features are bundled into a compact, lightweight chassis that's barely noticeable while on the move--a must for hikers, fishermen, and other folks who need to keep things light. So quit hauling along heavy, unwieldy radios when this little number can do the trick with half the effort. The radio runs on a pair of AAA batteries (not included) and comes with a set of stereo earphones.

Sad to see it go.......2007-01-10

This was great until I got an iPod for a gift. The worked just fine, but finding a belt loop or anything to hang it from with the clip, on a pair of jogging pants or any work out clothes did not work.

It's a waste of money........2006-01-08

I bought this at a sports shop for about $9. I then took it cross country skiing, so not a very rigorous activity. The radio couldn't stay on one station - rather, it would switch from station to station on its own, even ones that were just static. It does not do what it's supposed to.

Hard To Handle.......2005-08-10

The scanning feature is a nuisance, as it won't stay on one station very long.

The instruction booklet is not helpful at all, and neither is the description of how the radio works on Amazon.

The sound's not bad, if you can stand the frequent switching of stations.

I recommend getting another small radio for walking or jogging, even if it's more expensive.

Bike Radio.......2005-02-12

This is a great item, because if you ride your bike you can take it with you and listen to your favorite stations! It's like a bike radio.
