Great Pocket Radio.......2007-05-19

This GE pocket radio is probably the best radio and value in the somewhat narrow market. Inexpensive and the vendor shipped promptly.

GE 72585.......2003-05-01

This radio does not provide good AM reception at all. In Chicago, it is difficult to receive any of the 50,000-watt stations without constantly adjusting the dial and the radio position. I understand it is small, and its FM reception is quite good, but to take this radio to a baseball game as an earlier reviewer suggested leaves one very disappointed.

One of the better quality pocket transistor radios around.......2002-01-19

Although GE's first version of this model, the 72585-A, was of bad quality, the company really shone through with their (internal) re-design -- model 72585-B.

Thomson (the makers and owners of the GE Electronics brand) corrected the annoying volume and reception fluctuations that plagued this radio when listening to FM (you had to turn up the radio to max volume and also you would frequently loose the station you were listening to.

On this model, Thomson also pumped up the radio's speaker output, so you don't have to turn up the radio so much to get a decent volume in a noisy environment. Also the idea of incorporating the FM antenna into the headphone jack (so you don't have to raise the FM whip when listening to FM stations with your stereo earphones) was ingenious. You can put the radio in your pocket and not worry about snapping the antenna off.

I just wish that this radio came with a slightly larger-diameter speaker (about 2" would be nice), to make the sound less tinny. Otherwise, it's a neat radio. I bought two from Amazon last year - one for daily use and one for backup in case I drop this one. :-)

Terrific pocket radio.......2001-01-17

It's true, as other reviewers have noted, that this unit won't give you the sort of reception you might expect from a larger, higher-priced unit. On the other hand, this is an excellent pocket-sized radio for toting along to the ballgame, carrying along on a hike or to the park, or tucking next to your pillow in bed. It's very thin and light, and the controls are all flush with the case, so it packs well. It won't fill a room with sound - it's not intended to - but it plays loud enough to listen to from a few feet, and the headphone jack can be used for private listening. Overall this is a nice, up-to-date rendition of the classic pocket radios from the 1950s dawn of the transistor.

Good deal........2000-12-21

This is a handy little radio that is pretty darn rugged. It went to South America for the summer and performed pretty well under very adverse conditions. Battery use was great. It now resides in the small Paraguayan village of Costa Jhu, receiving lots of soccer games I am told. For the price, it's a gem.
