waste of space and time.......2007-11-09
first of all in the 21st century I would think that engineers would have figured out how to get radio reception. In 1895 Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio transmissions. I would think that in 112 years Science would have figured out how to do the same thing but they failed on this product.
1)
As with most radios only a couple of really commercial stations with like 5 million watts of broadcasting power come in. So my solution is to attach a piece of copper wire to the battery spring in order to boost the antennas' strength. I should not have to do this.
2) I put this radio in my pocket and there is no lock function so if I bump into anything while I'm working I lose my channel and have to search through yet another needlessly confusing menu in order to try and get my station back.
I am in the process of looking for another radio for carrying around with me while I work. I had good little RIO mp3/am-fm radio player that was smaller than this, plus it had a lock function( I don't remember the name). I think I might get another one.
Again do not buy, this thing is BIG, DUMB, LAME.
Been holding up nicely.......2007-07-11
I use this little guy at the gym almost everyday. I discovered if you buy a new set of headphones the reception comes in a lot better. Mine are sony.
Simple to use. The rubber sides protect against falling on the ground. Before this I had a similar panasonic armband radio. That thing quit working on me after a few months.
Radio does not work.......2007-01-10
I put new batteries into the radio and the screen flickered a bit, but none of the buttons would do anything. I am going to order a different radio for my workout.

Worth the money.......2005-08-09
The GPX radio is sure worth the money. I was reluctant to spend a lot more for a Sony. It has convienent pre set memory locations for AM and FM which is handy when exercising or runnning, no fiddleing with the tuning! Earphones are lightweight and comfortable. The radio fits in the palm of your hand or can be clipped to your shorts or fastened to your arm.
Very Poor Reception.......2005-07-30
I guess you get your money's worth for this little AM/FM Radio.
I was looking for an AM/FM radio that is inexpensive and I could use when I'm working out. I bought the GPX at the neighborhood Fry's. I took it home and tested it, and found quite a few problems with it. First, the lcd display is unintelligible. All I see are squiggly lines that does not even look like any recognizable stations or for that matter numbers. Second, the reception is very poor. I only get stations from the opposite end of the FM band; which, in our area are Spanish radio stations. Third, when I use it indoors (inside a gym), the reception is non existent.
The only thing nice about this little gadget is the looks. It looks rather expensive and very cool outside but I have no doubt that inside, it's nothing but subpar components. I guess there's a difference in quality as far as electronics goes between made in Japan (Sony electronics) vs. made in China. Unfortunately, everything seems to be made in China these days.
Armband/belt clip useless.......2005-03-13
Overall the radio is not bad for a small little radio, but the armband is very small, wont fit most men, and is not durable. The belt clip is a poor design in that it un clips its self from the radio when you clip it on a thicker belt. sound is good but the reception is only fair at best
Poor Design and Poor Performance.......2005-02-03
I was looking for a cheap little FM radio with digital tuning that I could use to walk around the house with headphones on and this little device fit the bill.
When I got it home and opened it up one of the first things that I noticed was that the interface was poorly designed. When looking at the display you'll notice that the buttons are upsidedown. Not a big deal, it'll take a bit of getting used to but in all, not well thought out and kind of annoying.
Also the volume dial is just next to where you put the headphone jack so the headphone jack kind of gets in the way when you try to adjust the volume. Another example of poor design.
The final problem (a real show stopper) is the performance. I had problems picking up all but a few of the stations with very strong signals and got a lot of static as I moved around. Unfortunately the stations that I was able to pick up were not the ones that I wanted so I think I'm going to have to return this and pick something up that has a bit of a higher price.
GPX fails.......2005-01-22
Bought this for my daughter who really wanted to listen to 1560 AM and various FM stations. AM reception very poor especially in the car. FM reception is sporadic. Had to return it. Still looking for something that will work that is reasonably priced.
