My husband takes this from room to room, perfect for the games, weather, news. THis is perfect for someone who doesnt want something too complicated to use. Nice simple dial tuner, plug and play, no complicated digital tunning. This is a must for weather emergencies as well.

This is an outstanding radio for the price. Reception and sound quality is good, no station drift. I would recommend to anyone looking for a basic radio.

This is as simple as it gets, a compact radio with great reception no bells and whistles and it does what it's meant to do. If you want a basic radio for use in select rooms for discreet personal use, this is the one. I am only an FM listener so cannot speak to the AM reception. It picks up signal in places where more expensive, clunky, multi-purpose radio/cd/aux. systems do not. If you're looking for an "old fashioned" simple radio, you can't go wrong.

Hurricane Irene left us with no power or water for 8 days, and w/o a battery powered radio (impossible to find in the stores around my area) it would have been horrendous. I went to my mothers during the hurricane and she still has her small Sony transistor radio from the early 1960's (older than me) which works PERFECTLY! Without this type of radio we would have been completely cut off from valuable info. This radio is the first thing I bought when the power came back on. It is critical that every household needs an item like this.

The Sony ICF-38 portable radio outputs marvelous sound and offers outstanding FM/AM reception for such a small portable. You will be shocked at how large, clear, and powerful the sound is coming from this diminutive radio. The analog tuning dial is extremely sensitive, selective, and accurate in its reception of adjacent frequencies along the crowded FM/AM dial in the radio market that I live in. This portable receives every FM/AM station that I care for perfectly with static-free sound. The AM DX reception during the nighttime hours is outstanding. The music sounds magnificent on the FM band. This Sony radio features an analog tuner, illuminated LED tuning indicator for easy station selection day or night, FM/AM dual band tuner, telescopic antenna for FM reception, built-in AM antenna, a wide range monaural speaker, two position tone control , volume control, tuning knob, band selection switch, earphone jack, carry handle, and power button. This Sony ICF-38 radio offers class leading audio performance in its product category. This radio is perfect for listening to your favorite news, sports, talk, weather, and music programs just about anywhere at any time. The Sony portable radio is powered by four AA cell batteries that rarely seem to get exhausted. A built-in AC power cord is included as an alternate power source for the radio. The design, features, and sound emanating from this radio are brilliant. Enjoy.

I loved it. I have a much older version and this is much smaller, and I think the sound is great.

Nice radio with manual tuning, and too little functions. Probably the best for people who consider just functionality as the main thing in a product.
