We were given one of these little radios as a gift, it is compact and can operate on batteries or mains power.

It picks up digital radio stations however the reception can and times be crackly and in our new house we cannot pick up any radio station.

The antenna is really very long and even fully extended does not always work....although our cats like flicking it when it is up!

In our old house it worked fine and was really nice to have in the kitchen, though if you stood in front of it in a particular range it would crackle and lose reception which was quite Frustrating.

The volume does turn up to a decent level so you can hear it throughout the house and it does not lose sound quality when turned up full volume.

There is no display to tell you the station or name of the son being played which was a nice
Function on our old digital radio.

Overall while this is a nice little device for basic listening the reception ability is quite
Poor and display is very basic.

I would recommend this for someone looking for a basic radio and who lives in a good reception area. I wouldn't go for it if you are quite rural as you may be disappointed at reception quality.
