Great companion radio

Edit 12/14/20 Since my purchase two weeks ago, Eaton have more than doubled the Revain price on this radio to $47.98 which seems a bit overpriced. . I would buy this again. If you have an Eton Traveler or Executive this is a great little companion. Fits in a shirt pocket. Pros: Clear, clean sound for its size. Receives FM, MW and SW very well (almost as good as Eton Traveler). Fits in a shirt pocket. can be improved by adding: - Kickstand - Rubberized edges or corners - Add some internal weight for a more solid feel - 12 hour timer option - Memory presets - Better fitting case with screen holes Cons: - Rigid range switch - Inadequate packaging. The box and plastic insert were dented. Need more cardboard in the box. - The PU leather case is too tight and the holes don't match the button. I cut the case near the power switch hole to ease the tension a bit. It was as if the factory measured the case and left out the stitching. Tips: - You can use the "Time" button to move faster through the frequencies. It's really helpful. A regular sunglass case makes a great protective case and gives you something to wipe the screen with. If in doubt, try it out. It's a pleasure to use!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Disappears
