1 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2005-11-30

I have an extensive collection of radios, small, medium, large, analog,and digital. This radio is without a doubt the worst of the lot. The reception is so poor,it barely qualifies as a radio. I gave it away, but probably should have thrown it away to save the new owner the trouble.

2 out of 5 stars AM/FM is OK, SW just isn't there..........2004-12-10

I understand that you shouldn't expect a lot from the radio that lists under $15 but I believe that manufacturer should deliver on the basic functionality. None of the short wave bands works, all you get is a lot of static and some distorted FM transmissions (yes, on SW band). Also, I've noticed that the the frequency bands don't follow standard convention, which could make some of them pretty useless (if they were working).
I own several portable AM/FM/SW radios and, although some of them have better SW reception than others, I've never had an item that claims SW coverage but has none.
On the positive note, AM/FM seems to be OK.
