The company kindly sent one for review. The quality is even better than the earlier radio, both excellent values for money. The antannae stores inside the radio. I've snapped a few externally mounted units and it's a small, but appreciated feature. You really need some auxilliary wire to get good reception. My area is horrible. I'm RIGHT UNDER the hilltop station for USC's local facility and can't get it with many portable units. My unit is missing the AC power adapter, but for it's intended use this isn't a issue personally. The LED light is a usefull addition. You won't be blinding any airline pilots with it. But for an emergency light source down an unlit stairwell ( like my apts. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />) it's adequate. This is overall an excellent addition to an urban kit. I was driving in L.A. the day of the first Space Shuttle disaster. I had no car radio and managed to be oblivious to the crash until that night.
