Title: AM Reception - not so good
Product review: I like this radio - except that the only reason to pay so much for a portable radio - AM reception is not so good.I had a Sangean DT200V AM/FM/TV Portable Pocket-Size Radio which I liked - except that, when I dropped it, it broke.Since this radio was advertized as having good reception and becuase I liked the DT200V, and didn't need the TV reception or the built in speaker, I thought this one would be good. It would be lighter and possibly less breakable as it uses lighter batteries and doesn't have a built in speaker.I like the features (I like the setting for three favorites) and I like the locking feature and the 90 minute automatic turn off. However, the AM reception isn't so good. It often has backround noise and is not as good as the DT200V - sometimes almost unlistenable. Any cheap radio will have adequate FM reception so AM reception was the whole reason I bought this radio - so I'm disappointed.
