Title: AM radio reception was very poor
Product review: I bought this armband radio to listen to KNBR AM while watching the Giants at AT&T Park. Matt Cain pitched a fine game, but this radio was nearly useless. It only received KNBR when I held the radio up and away from my body, and then not very clearly. KNBR's antenna is scarcely 15 miles from AT&T Park, and their local broadcast radius is about 100 miles, so it's fair to say that the Jensen radio failed to perform its most basic function. Luckily I had my backup radio, an 1980s vintage Sony Walkman. It's bulky, but it picked up KNBR very clearly, no matter where I held the radio. So if you want a radio for listening to sports (or cranky talk) on the AM band, skip the Jensen. I'll post another review if I find a good compact radio for AM.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
