I ordered one too. The unit is @ the size of a standard poker card pack. It runs on 2 AA batteries and comes with a smal lset of headphones and a case. The telescoping antannae is adequate. I wish it had an auxilliary wire antannae . Reception was horrible until I finally discovered a defective battery contact. AM performance is excellent. FM is spotty with background static. For a budget emergency news source it is a fair investment. the vendor even threw in a free keychain LED. Mine was red until the battery also proved defective. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
