5 out of 5 stars Sony ICF-36 Radio.......2007-12-23

The radio has very good sound for its size and receives a signal from a reasonable distance. This radio is a very good value for the money.

5 out of 5 stars A great simple radio.......2007-12-18

I wanted a simple battery-powered FM radio to pick up a local low-power station. I have had problems receiving this station with many other radios, but this one does the job with flying colors. I suspect that part of the reason for its good performance is that it uses analog tuning and is monophonic.

5 out of 5 stars good radio for the price.......2007-12-01

If you need a simple, clean cut radio, this is it. The 4" speaker does
a good job of clean reproduction. Don't expect deep bass and shrill heighs,
though. Just good FM, and fair AM reception. Weather and TV are OK too.
Remember that TV audio will disappear in two years when the FCC will implement the new digital TV broadcasting.
A big plus, this radio has built in power adaptor. No bulky outside gitzmo.
Size is right, tuning is good with light indicator. A great radio for the
price. If you want more, then look at the new stereo HD radios. Best bet for
this is the small but great Radi-osophy HD 100. Check it out.

You will pick up TV VHF channels 2-13 and weather channels 1-7. You can listen to the radio via the 3 1/8" speaker, or through optional headphones via the headphone jack. Whether through the built-in ferrite bar antenna or the telescopic FM, TV and weather antenna, you are sure to receive the best possible reception. Sony designed this portable radio for on-the-move enjoyment. Either carry the lightweight radio like a small bag, or set the small radio on a desk or dresser. To power this sleek, ergonomic radio, use either an optional AC adaptor or three AAA batteries.

5 out of 5 stars Great radio, great price.......2008-01-01

This is a rare find today...a radio that performs well AND has a great "fit and finish".
The sound is quite good for such a small package, and the reception on all bands is excellent. It's versitile (radio, clock radio, sleep mode, etc.), and quite easy to use.
It looks good, not cheap like many radios these days.
Sony has a real winner here.

4 out of 5 stars works fine, tunes right into a station.......2007-12-30

I needed a small radio, with a "digital" tuner that I could take with me around the house from room to room, as I clean, etc that will actualy tune right to the exact station that I want, and not one of those dials that you have to keep adjusting. If you want 101.5, you can put it on 101.5 exactly.
This radio works great, gets decent signal. If it got a better signal I would give it a 5, but I sometimes have to move the antenna around to get the station I want in certain rooms, but for it's size, it is a great little radio.

5 out of 5 stars Glad I bought the Sony .......2007-12-28

I'm very pleased with the Sony purchase. I live in an area surrounded by hills which made reception spotty from many radio stations in the past. The reception from the Sony is excellent and far better than I get from my high quality component system and my old portable radio.

5 out of 5 stars A great little portable radio... I bought 2!.......2007-12-26

This is a nice little radio... high quality sound, excellent tuning and fun to listen to. I like the digital tuning, and the built-in weather bands and TV stations come in handy. I recommend it highly... in fact I purchased two (one for the office and one for the bathroom). The only problem with reception is when I use it in my enclosed New York City office far from windows. Reception is virtually non-existent, even when I fool around with the antenna. But when I move closer to a window, the radio is back in business! Lately I noticed it's not available on Amazon.com... I hope that doesn't mean SONY discontinued the radio, because I highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars NICE PORTABLE RADIO.......2007-12-22

This radio was purchased for use at work in a building where our previous radio had alot of static and sometimes did not pick up AM channels.
This radio works well without static. I wish it had come with an electrical outlet adapter rather than just battery power. The weather band is a nice added feature.

GPX TVWB534SP 5-Inch Black-and-White TV with AM/FM Tuner, Weather Band Radio, and Flashlight/Lantern

Product Description

The TVWB534SP is a 5-inch black & white TV with Instant Weatherband and AM FM Radio.PRODUCT FEATURES:Vertical hold, contrast and brightness controls;Removable flashlight with recharge circuit;Emergency siren;Thermometer & compass;3-way power: 110V-AC (included), 12V-DC (fused cigarette lighter adaptor included) and batteries;2-adjustable rotary fluorescent lamp;Built-in charger for NiCad rechargeable batteries for unit and flashlight (batteries not included);Stereo headphone jack;Audio/video input jacks;External antenna jack.

Amazon.com Product Description

The electronic equivalent of a Swiss army knife or Leatherman multipurpose tool, the GPX TVWB534SP packs as many goodies as it can into its stylish, durable housing. The device centers around a 5-inch black-and-white TV--with vertical hold, contrast, and brightness controls--that's great for catching ballgames at a tailgater or keeping kids entertained in the back seat. That's certainly not all, however. The unit also comes with an analog AM/FM radio for listening to music or news reports, an instant weather band receiver that picks up weather alerts and storm warnings, a flashlight and a lantern for lighting up a dreary campsite, and a thermometer that keeps you informed of the outdoor temperature. And is if that's not enough, it even includes an emergency siren and a compass--a couple of handy items should you get lost in the mountains or the countryside. Users who want to pare down their supplies while going on sundown hikes can remove the flashlight from the plastic housing, which makes the light source far more portable. The housing charges the flashlight independently, though the light does require two rechargeable ni-cad batteries (not included). As a lantern, meanwhile, the unit offers a two-way adjustable fluorescent beam that's ideal for reading, eating, or as a general background light.

The device is appropriate for a variety of casual and serious uses, from serving as a tailgater accessory, an all-in-one emergency tool for home power failures and natural disasters, a camping gear space-saver (several camping necessities in a single package), and a survival kit for vehicle breakdowns in the desert or a mountain pass. Users have the choice of plugging the TVWB534SP into an AC wall outlet or a DC cigarette lighter adapter, or conversely they can add nine C-size batteries (not included) for portable use. Adding to the unit's convenience is a molded carrying handle and an adjustable/removable shoulder strap for longer totes. The device also includes an audio/video input (for plugging in, say, a portable DVD player), an external antenna jack, and a stereo headphone input.

What's in the Box
TVWB534SP TV/radio/flashlight, AC adapter, DC cigarette lighter adapter, removable shoulder strap, user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Love It and highly reccommend it to others.......2007-02-04

We recently had a power outage here in Syracuse, Ny. I was looking forward to watching my favorite show as the power went out. Emergency T.V. is the best!! Although it takes 9 batteries, it sure came in handy. My husband also hooked it up to our cable t.v line and it worked.

2 out of 5 stars you don't get what you don't pay for.......2007-10-01

Nicer volumetric dimensions than the usual transistor radio, but my antenna fell out after just a month or two.

Curiously you rarely get what you do pay for either. Ah capitalism... what a great ruse.

4 out of 5 stars Better than Sony ICF SMK2.......2007-06-09

I like this radio and it's better than the cheap Sony with better volume control, audio, antenna design, and size. In addition the Coby picks up a few TV stations, and a weather station or two. The tuning is a little more finicky than the Sony but it is still worth the six dollars I spent.

3 out of 5 stars Better and not better that the cx38 ?.......2006-12-14

I have owned 2 of these in the past, both of which did not last but 3 or 4 months. While it actually has a working TV2, or upper tv, band, The weather band never came in, and did not even come in when I used headphones, which also act as a wire Antenna Technically.
I cant decide if these were better or not than the cx 38, since it has no sensitivity or reception on the weather band. This is quite unfortunate, because this is quite an affordable radio on our budget. However, They were only 2 dollars less than the cx38. These are also actually personal stereo systems, because the built in speaker was optional, and it can with its own earphones. This is also about the only personal stereo system that I know of, which is analog, and has weather band.
I have yet to test the CX18, which was, evedintely, the successor of the cx17, and has a built in speaker and is a larger model, like the cx38.

5 out of 5 stars Great For $4.99.......2005-06-22

I recieved this coby CX-17 for my birthday last year, while they were available at big lots. These radios are only $4.99 at big lots. The Weather band feature does not always come in in my location, but I believe that the reason why is because our police and all those kinds of those bands are on quite the same frequency. We are thinking about getting another one, so that we can also have the owners manual and the warranty. The reason why I need an owner's manual, is cause I have fake friends who can't always figure out electronic things. My best fake friend is E Roe Juffa. She sometimes wants to borrow radios, so if we get another one, she cam also learn how to use them.

Sony SRF-M80V S2 Sports Walkman Arm Band Radio with FM/AM, TV and Weather Channels

Product Description

Sony presents the SRF-M80V S2 Sports Walkman digital tuning TV/ weather/AM/FM stereo armband radio. Strap this ergonomically designed Walkman player on your arm and spring into action. The TV tuner and Weather Band tuning function enables you to listen to TV stations and local weather broadcasts, while the direct weather button offers one button-tuning of weather bands. The convenient LED display angle is easy to read on the run. Bad weather is no match for S2, as the water resistant Sports series design keeps your music pumping. Tune in with the digital AM/FM stereo tuner and surf your favorite stations using 25-station preset memory. Also featuring a stop watch with a split timer - the SRF-M80V is the perfect companion for any activity where timing is essential. Headphones are supplied - so buy today? Ready, set, go!

Amazon.com Product Description

Sony's lightweight SRFM80V S2 Sports Walkman fits snugly into a supplied wrap-around arm band for hands-free listening during workouts or travel. The radio's ergonomic S2 Sports design places all function controls for easy access, and its LED is conveniently angled for easy reading when you're on the run. Furthering its suitability for athletic training, the SRFM80V includes a stop watch with a single-button split timer. And, if you'd rather not wear the device on an arm, just affix the built-in belt clip to a waistband.

Radio features include drift-free digital tuning across the weather, TV (VHF channels 2 to 13), and AM/FM stereo bands. And with the SRFM80V, weather is no obstacle--its water-resistant design blocks out moisture, and dirt (though do keep in mind that it's not made for submersion in water). A local/distant (DX) switch optimizes reception of both near and distant stations, and a power-off timer shuts off the Walkman at your preset time to conserve battery life. The arm band includes a safety reflector. Five-direct-key preset memory lets you electronically tune in to any five stations set--even in different frequency bands--with the press of a single, easy-to-reach button, while a separate direct weather button offers one-button tuning of weather bands.

You'll also enjoy conveniences like 25-station preset memory (five for TV, five for weather, 10 FM, and five AM), Sony's low-end-enhancing Mega Bass Sound System, and two-AAA-battery operation (batteries not included). Supplied Sony MDR (micro dynamic receiver) vertical-type sports headphones deliver wide dynamic range and clear sound.

5 out of 5 stars How I Learned To LOVE This SRF-M80V Walkman!!.......2007-11-28

I bought this SRF-M80V Walkman about 4 years ago from Radio Shack because I like the features. AM/FM/TV digital tuning, 20 preset stations.

The operation and unusual design of it took lots of getting used to, so I put it in a draw and forgot about it for 4 years. I have a collection of 4 other perfectly functioning Sony Walkmans to fall back on.

Then, in recent months I dug out this SRF-M80V from the draw. I learned to use it, got used to it, and now LOVE it the best of all of my Walkmans!

I've been using it every day for the past 2 months with no problems. No broken earphone jacks. I never even considered using the supplied headphones. (Supplied headphones are always "junk" and necessitate the need for better headphones, IMO.) Sometimes I may accidentally touch the volume control, but that's okay, I perfer a volume control that is easy to operate, and easy to turn down when necessary.

I am shocked to see that the price has tripled since I had bought mine! I'm also disappointed that Sony has discontinued this model. (I wanted to buy an additional one for someone.) It seems that the closest replacement model is the SRF-M85, but I like this one better!

I think it's important to point out that **effective February of 2009 when TV goes to strictly digital broadcasting and analog broadcasting will be discontinued, that the TV bands on this radio will no longer work.** (Let's not mistake "digital tuning" for "digital broadcasts")

I LOVE this Walkman for now, but considering the facts that TV sound will no longer be available on it, and the fact that the price has tripled, I believe that this Walkman is not worth it's current price. However, I'm confident that I will enjoy this Walkman at least until the Feb 2009 change. The FM and AM bands will not be effected.

4 out of 5 stars Despite Flaws, I Have Few Complaints.......2007-07-24

Despite the low ratings that other reviewers have given the Sony SRF-M80V S2, I've been pretty pleased with mine. It's lasted a few years (like the other Sony Walkmen that I've had), and this one especially took some abuse mountainbiking and continues to work wonders. The arm band's nice, but I clip mine on my biking shirt or shorts and it holds on just fine.

Are there cons? Yes, but they're minor. The headphones were replaced on the first day (they're awkward), and the FM/TV/Weather reception could be better (I listen to AM only, and that's always been great). Also, the fact that the "hold" switch does not freeze the volume is somewhat troublesome--especially since the volume dial is right next to the clip, it can turn up loud without warning.

Overall, a great radio if you can find it on the cheap.

5 out of 5 stars It Works Great For Me.......2007-06-26

I've had one of these for years. I use it every morning to listen to an NPR station that is about 50 miles away. Reception has been fine virtually everytime I've used it. TV feature was handy during Wilma when my electricity was out for a couple of days.

3 out of 5 stars Decent...Needs Some Improvements.......2007-02-05

I like the channel preset buttons and the stop watch feature but...I do not like the volume control. It is very sensitive and easily moved if you put the radio in a pocket or attach to your belt. I can't tell you how many times I have blasted my eardrums or turned the volume off while running. Something also went bad with the left channel, it cuts in and out, which is very annoying. Overall it's not a bad radio...Reception and sound are pretty good. I would not buy again unless the volume control was improved.

4 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2006-04-18

I find this to be quite a nice product. It appears kind of large at first glance, but sits securely on the arm and is light and not bothersome. Reception is very good and importantly for me, the volume is LOUD(nice when so many walkmans are quiet for safety?). The headphone connection is a bit crackly. I hope this radio last a while.

    Aiwa FRA308 AM/FM Clock Radio with TV & Weather band

    Product Description

    Whether you like to start your day being informed on the weather, music, news, or views, choose the Aiwa FR-A308 clock radio and wake up the way you want. AM and FM bands tune in your favorite radio stations, while the TV/weather band brings you up to date on the new day fast. There is a sleep-timer to send you off to dreamland, a snooze button for serial wakers and a buzzer for sleepyheads. Battery back up keeps you from sleeping through a power outage, and the green LED display is gentle on tired eyes.

    Amazon.com Review

    Heard any good TV shows lately? With the Aiwa FR-A308, you might not have to miss your favorite show even if you're away from the TV. The FR-A308 is the rare clock radio that complements an AM/FM tuner with TV and weather bands.

    It's not like listening to cable TV, however; you can receive only over-the-air signals from channels 2 through 13 in your area. So if you live in a big city, you might receive as many as seven channels. In rural areas, with fewer channels, you might be able to tune in two or three. But either way, you can probably fall asleep to The Tonight Show or wake up to Today.

    The FR-A308 offers a modern take on the classic cathedral radio (Aiwa calls it a bullet design), with a green LED display set against a glistening black contour. The dual alarms can be set to either a beep tone or any of the four analog bands (AM, FM, TV, or weather).

    Although the FR-308 accepts a battery backup--a 9-volt battery is required--it doesn't work like most backups. Most clock radios with battery backup typically shut down when power is lost but preserve the correct time when power is restored. The FR-308 backs up the clock and alarm for about 10 minutes, letting you unplug and move the unit without interruption.

    This clock radio can seem confusing to tune at first because the lower end of the TV band is combined with the FM radio. Just remember that you have to adjust a switch on the side of the radio to give you one of three settings: the AM band, FM with TV channels 2 through 6, and weather with TV channels 7 through 13. Once you've mastered it, you'll shift quickly between radio, weather, and TV. The FR-A308's versatile four-band option can be matched by few clock radios.

    4 out of 5 stars Well...it's ok I guess.......2005-07-18

    The overall features are nice and the form factor is small allowing it to fit nicely on a nightstand. The TV band coverage only goes to channel 13, so you're limited there. If you can get the "wire" antenna positioned well, the reception is decent...as decent as you can get from a "dial" tuner rather than a digital tuner. The weather band comes in nicely and has helped me out a number of times from being drenched from an afternoon rainstorm by listening to the forecast.
    Once again, overall nice, with many quirks, but as an alarm clock it does its job. Yes the dials, buttons, dial positions, and sound could be improved.
    Here's the deal: If you can get this cheap...say for under 15 dollars, then in my opinion, the cost to value ratio is in your favor. You get a radio, alarm clock, tv sound, and weather for your money. Not bad. I bought this in January of 2000 and it's still on and working fine.

    2 out of 5 stars Poor design = annoying to use.......2000-02-03

    I really liked this clock at first, but then I discovered that their placement of controls was really poor. They've got a volume wheel on the left and a tuning wheel on the right. Not only are these easy to confuse (and the tuning is really difficult), but I find I bump them all the time while holding the clock, which I have to do in order to keep the clock from sliding away from me when I hit one of the buttons on the front.

    In the future, I'll look for a clock with all frequently-accessed buttons on the top where that won't be a problem.

    3 out of 5 stars Sexy looks, plane tunes........1999-12-14

    It looks really cool. Display is somewhat cirved up, so it may be a little bit inconvenient to see from below (that is, from your bed). Tuning is difficult, so I keep the same station all the time. TV band is impossible to tune in, at least in my neighborhood. Display is very beautiful. It is so bright that I usually keep it face off in the night. I would give six stars for the looks, but the radio is a bit disappointing. You can find a clock with digital tuning for the price.

    5 out of 5 stars My Clocks name is Bob.......1999-09-19

    I bought this clock fully intending to name it Murray but upon opening the box I realized that this alarm clock was definatly not a Murray, it was more like a Monique or Dannile. I settled on the name Betty. Betty is an excellent alarm clock. Reliable, Smooth and Professional. With a contemporary look this alarm clock really excells in all aspects of waking. I highly recommend this fine product.

    iHome IH36W Under-Counter iPod Player with FM, TV, and Weather Band Tuner

    Product Description

    Kitchen time has just become more entertaining. Whether you're trying to learn the latest recipe, cleaning up, or sipping a cup of coffee, you can listen to the radio (which also includes TV audio bands) and your iPod. There's a built-in clock that also has a built-in programmable timer to make sure your culinary preparations are done on time. It will also play your dockable iPod (or Shuffle) through its full-range side stereo speakers - and charge it too! Kitchen time is iPod time and you'll enjoy it exponentially with the IH36W. 3 line display shows what's playing on iPod when iPod is hidden

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Save counter space in your kitchen or workshop while still enjoying your full iPod library with the iHome under-cabinet stereo. Boasting a built-in dock that charges your iPod, an integrated FM/TV/weather tuner, and a three-line display that tells you what's playing from a distance, the unit is perfect for space-challenged users everywhere. To mount the system, simply locate a cabinet, shelf, or desk with roughly 5 inches of underside space. Once you've determined the ideal location, the system installs discreetly using the included mounting hardware. Within minutes you'll have access to hundreds of iPod playlists, the full FM radio spectrum, the audio channels of select TV stations, or any of the built-in weather band channels, all in the comfort of your kitchen or garage.

    The motorized docking station is built to protect your iPod--a must in cooking and working environments--with a tray that slides the iPod out of sight while you listen. In addition, it's easy to switch from station to station thanks to the 12 tuner presets, which include four FM1, four FM2, and four TV presets. Best of all, the unit sounds great thanks to the Reson8 ported speaker technology, which delivers full, rich audio through the pair of 3-watt speakers.

    Other details include a 120-minute cooking timer for kitchen use, an easy-to-clean vinyl membrane keypad, a factory-preset clock with calendar, a battery backup function that maintains the clock settings after a power failure, and a remote control that adjusts the radio and iPod settings. The remote even includes a magnetic backing that attaches to the side of the iHome player. The unit, which measures 13.03 by 3.28 by 10.98 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a 90-day warranty

    5 out of 5 stars Met every expectation.......2007-12-31

    I was looking for an under the cabinet sound system. Almost every review I read about this one was positive. I totally agree. The sound quality is very, very good. I have the 80GB Classic iPod and there is no problem using it with this player. My son's 30 GB Classic also works well. I LOVE the presets, the TV station capability, and the ease of use for the iPod. I leave my iPod in the player to protect it from all my kitchen activities but it could easily be used with the iPod out as displayed in the picture. The remote works well and is a great asset. I would not hesitate to give this a high, high recommendation.iHome IH36W Under-Counter iPod Player with FM, TV, and Weather Band Tuner

    4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised.......2007-12-18

    I had an undercouter radio/CD player but wanted to replace it with an Ipod player. I was surprised by the quality of the sound - better than the one I had. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys music while spending time in the kitchen. THe only "con" I'd like to point out it there are not any other units of this type (undercounter) available for comparison.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product.......2007-12-14

    This product was such a great purchase. It is easy to install, has great sound quality, and is easy to use. I have one it my kitchen and love it.

    4 out of 5 stars Great product - easy installation.......2007-12-13

    I bought this from Amazon for my wife's birthday, because she said she wanted to listen to music while she cooked. This player fits the bill perfectly. The sound is good, not great and it is dead easy to use. The installation instructions were probably the clearest best written guides I've ever read. I love the big display of song info. I only wish I could switch playlists while the iPod is inside the unit, but that is a small quibble.

    4 out of 5 stars A Surprising Must-Have.......2007-12-08

    When I was given this iHome under-counter speaker system as a gift, I was not thrilled. I already had Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Audio System for iPod for my iPod, and I was not a fan of kitchen electronics. Within minutes of its installation, however, I fell in love with it. The sound is much richer and clearer than what comes out of my Altec speakers. I use the iHome almost every day.

    Most people will buy this for its iPod capabilities, although the other features are nice since they replace what many people might have already had in their kitchen. With a single touch, the iPod holder glides out and down. The adaptors that come with the system accommodate most iPod models (not the Shuffle and possibly not the new touch screen 3G, although I don't know about this last); while the iPods fit without these pieces of plastic, the improper support may bend the connections when the iPod is inside the unit. Once inserted, the iPod can be played either outside or inside the machine. Best of all, the iHome screen displays the song being played as well as the artist and the album, a great feature especially when you're listening to a new album or shuffling. The FM radio gets decent reception if you run the antenna wire under your cabinets; the weather radio is automatically tuned and comes in as good as any weather station will. (There's also a "tv" mode which I've never used.) When not in use, the unit displays the time. If you want to store the iPod in the sleeve, it acts as a dock, leaving your iPod always charged and ready to travel. If you leave iHome on and set your iPod's alarm, the music will play at the predetermined time.

    The connectors for the unit allow for different hanging heights. Mine is installed with in a 5 ½ inch space, from the cabinet connection point to the lowest point on the unit, and it could take up even less space if I didn't have cabinet molding not flush with the bottom of the cabinet itself. The actual dimensions, not including connectors, are 13 inches wide, 10 ¾ inches deep, and 3 inches high.

    The only flaw with this system is the occasional hiccup. When you start the iPod outside of the unit and then close the holder, the sound stops for a second or two, then resumes. Less often, my iPod, especially when left in an open holder, will display as though it has just been synched, and this prevents the alarm from working.

    While not providing high-end range, the iHome under-counter player still provides good, relatively clean sound, especially for a kitchen setting where one isn't likely to sit and listen intently. This would make a wonderful gift for anyone who has an ipod. Don't be surprised if the recipient seems indifferent at first - that will quickly change! I highly recommend this.
