I don't really have much to baseline it against unfortunately. I dont listen to FM radio much anymore, since all the local stations in my area have converted to spanish-only folk music.
So its my AM radio sports-rig really. For that its good (not great). In a moving car AM tends to fade a little, but thats only with really weak signals. Stronger stations (KNBR) come in loud/clear, although I find myself rotating the unit back and forth somewhat frequently to adjust the AM antenna.
Walking around on the street and inside the house they're great though.
Tuning is a little difficult, if you don't know your local station numbers. Theres no "SEEK" mode, so you have to click up and down the dial and manually listen to the stations as you get near them.
But still... I am happy with it, and feel I got my $40 worth when I want something small and portable.
I think I'm going to try a Sangean (SP?) model since my local Frys sells them.
