Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICF-36 Portable AM/FM/TV/Weather Radio
Customer Review: Big Bang for Small Bucks!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Solidly constructed, excellent reception, built-in AC cord (no seperate wall wart required), decent volume, long battery life, wonderful value for the money.
Cons: At this price? Seriously, you are joking, right?
I was given this radio (at my request) as a "birthday appliance" by my wife. I use it primarily to listen to NPR. Here in Honolulu, our public radio station is located fairly close to a 50 KW "rocker/rapper" station (both in frequency and distance). My other portable (Panasonic) does not have the selectivity to receive NPR clearly. This little radio does just fine.
Additionally, the TV bands work well in my location - - - so at least I can listen to Hagure Keiji (my favorite Nipponese drama) on KIKU-TV when I am away from home and cannot watch the television.
Being an analog vice digital receiver promises long battery life from a set of 4 AA's, so this is a radio that should prove very useful during hurricane season.
While this radio will not reproduce "audiophile" quality sound, the sound it does produce is clear and crisp. Certainly it is sufficient to the task of keeping you up to date while on the go.
This is truly a 5-star item at a 2-star price! I (and judging by the review ratings) and a lot of other folks highly recommend it.
