    Exactly What I Was Looking For

    "I keep this radio on my bedside table and use it every night. All I need is a small am/fm radio. Most of the radios I found were way too big and had options I didn't need (CD, MP3, HD, nature sounds, etc.) It has great reception and is easy to program. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with the power cord...[$] Oh well...still happy with my purchase...." Read Full Review »

It takes 3 d cell batteries. It can't hold memory. When I turn the radio on it makes a weird beep and clears out all my programmed channels...." Read Full Review »
