I’m ordering another when they are in stock again.
Shipping was very fast thank you Radio Shack.
Another classic!
Features I like about this radio:
Step tuning done well.
AM reception is excellent...reminds me of my NIA.
FM reception is also good for this size radio.
Audio quality is nice from the speaker.
Two tone color scheme is very retro...I like retro!
Overall, this radio needs more testing and head to head comparisons to see how it fares as a supposed top tier AM DXing portable . If you find it for under $20 and its mint, go ahead and buy one. Its worth that price.
