 electronics OK but mechanical tuning and volume poorly madeNov 15, 2009
Have owned this little radio a few years. The tuning failed to work well within several weeks. It is a very cheap elastic string around a pulley and in colder weather...even 50's...it loses friction and slips making tuning almost impossible. And yes, the volume knob is loose as mentioned by others. Reception of FM and Am are pretty good. There is only limited reception of shortwave with antenna fully extended and with trying to aim antenna to fine tune a station. So, if you leave your radio on a favorite station and the poor tuning mechanics aren't a bother this might be an acceptable choice...but radios half the price are around with no cheap mechanical parts...it's a shame they would use fairly good electronics but allow such cheap tuning and volume mechanicals to make the radio a poor choice.
 This is JunkJul 27, 2009
I have many radios. This is by far the the poorest radio I have ever owned.
The volume control knob is ready to fall off and My 5 dollar Kaito radio get better reception.
For 40 dollars you are wasting your money look at the Kaito Electronics Inc. KA1101 Digital AM/FM/SW World Receiver

Hopefully you will not have to return it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Apr 13, 2009
I bought this for my husband to listen to the REDS on the radio and when I received it, it did not pick up the station I needed. I returned it within one week. Waited to get my money placed back on my CC for 3 weeks, finally, I contacted the company. they did not get back with me. I then tried to use the A-Z Gaurantee through Amazon. Finally, Amazon was able to reach the company. They said that they never received the radio. I then forwarded the receipt of shipping from post office where I had returned it, and they still said they would not refund my money. So, needless to say, I have no radio, they still have the money I payed them for the radio and to ship it to me, plus the money I payed out to ship it back to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just okay in my opinion, I got this radio to be able to listen to NPR and BBC news at home. Reception in my home in Santa Fe, New Mexico is just okay, not great, pretty fuzzy most of the time. A little disappointing, but since it was inexpensive, no great loss. Maybe it will work better in other places.

Junk, Junk, JunkDec 17, 2008
I paid around $40.00 for this piece of junk. DO NOT BUY! We used the radio for less than 8 months before if broke. The company wants you to give them $8.00 to send back, and then the cost to ship and insure. By that time, you're up at around $15.00. Not worth it! Our little $10.00 radio was better than this one.
