I've used a lot of small portable AM/FM radios, and this one is clearly the best I've tried. I bought this radio a few weeks ago, and walk to work with it everyday. This Sony's reception in New York City is great (for some reason, I often had trouble with AM with my other radios in Manhattan). The digital tuner is accurate. The NOAA Weather Band, and channel 2-13 TV station reception far better than I expected. Overall, a pretty nice little radio.
