I travel by motorcycle around North America and like to listen to FM radio when riding (by earphone) and when in the hotel/campsight by night. Sound quality, weather station etc would be nice but what is most important is reception, wieght and size. I welcome any and all suggestions as I am not radio savy and never will be and look to the resident portabe radio expert to educate me.

 

Ask me about 1970's Kawasaki H2's and I will tell you anything. Radio reception...not so much. Thank you in advance.

Sansa Clip+

 

Has:

FM Radio

Small

Light

Clips

I love it for my bicycle and my Bike

 

Doesn't:

Internal speaker

 

There is no pmp that is that small with a internal speaker that I know of

 

I use my clip and actually clip it to inside my jacket with one earbud in the helmet (make sure you only have one, cops and all that noise is is a big ticket)

 

EDIT:

If you want, you can put a bike battery, with charger, with exstention cord, with fm deck, with speakers in a rear mounted saddle bag. My honda is too nice to put anything on ti like that, but you can if you want.

Still looking for someone here to point me in the right direction to find a portable FM radio with very very good reception.

Cowon J3?  I probably wouldn't buy one for just the radio though.

Sony SRF-S84

Sony SRF M97

 

they are both excellent, the second one is programmable,

the first one is much easier to use, and sounds fine :)

 

oops, no in-built speakers though, these are lighter/USB stick size...
