There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First off, I was immediately struck by the finish and box-opening experience. Thought and effort went into this package. There were no corners cut, nor was there extra fluff. The leather cover that wraps around the radio is buttery soft and cradles the unit nicely. Everything looks and feels solid and robust.
The FM & AM bands are, as others have noted, strong, clean, and easy to use. I wanted to test out the SW/LW capabilities, however, as I'd never used them, and knew that there was an outside chance I could pick up a station from far, far away. The instruction manual didn't go into enough detail to help me through that process, and the process of switching from FM-->AM-->SW-->LW isn't particularly intuitive. I spent an hour nosing around the net to pick up the basics...
I will throw out this tip....if you can't get LW to work, try turning the radio off and then HOLD DOWN the AM/LW button until the unit toggles back to "LW on". There is an ability to "hide" LW from the regular functioning. This is in the manual, but I missed it the first couple times I read through it.
In the end, I wasn't able to pick up anything on LW (and based on ancillary reading, I think this is normal?), and I could only pull in 2-3 Shortwave stations, one of which was relatively clear from India, I think (I'm on the West Coast of the US). I'm going to blame the lack of more breadth on the urban setting, however, lots of wifi routers, phone radios, wifi signals and other assorted interference bouncing around my house. I tend to think if I needed to use this little guy in an emergency situation with most of our modern technologies knocked out, that it would be more useful.
I'd also note that for a radio enthusiast that travels a lot internationally, this is an exceptionally compact and useful unit, with the ability to nearly-instantaneously tune in local stations and change the time to local time at the turn of a dial. Neat!
The tuning and volume controls are both knobs on the side, very natural and intuitive compare to push buttons controls in other radios.
The speaker is basic, clear for vocals, with no pretension of trying to be more. The functional speaker is compensated by the audio jack where I can plug in whichever quality headphones I like.
I try to turn on the radio and use it without referring to the manual. The basic functions are easy to get at, but extended functions are well hidden and not easy to get to without picking up the manual. I wish they are more intuitive.
It took me some time to figure out how to set the time. The knob to click thru world time is easy to use and clearly marked with world cities. RDS is a useful feature as the station and song info can now be shown on the display. No more need to wait for the radio station announcement every few minutes.
The cover is nice quality, but it folds in an awkward manner. The radio could not be placed in the vertical standing position, the cover would not hold it in the orientation.
The cover is designed for the radio to lay down as shown on the box, but the antenna could only be extended in an awkward angle. It seems that the antenna articulating joints was designed independently from the cover because they don't work together well; rather they seem to fight each other, making it hard for the user to place the radio in a position other than as shown on the box with the antenna retracted behind the unit.
