Well I had to put in the batteries that came with the kit and set the time to 1st but then I switched to the 1st weather band and did a report from NWS Monterey, California. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was fun - for a minute on Christmas morning I was a kid watching the bands on Radio Shack. AM stations also pick me up well when I'm on the move. FM stations are fine to tune into if I find the right spot and put a radio there - the radio I got wasn't good for walking around listening to FM. I'd rather have a knob to select the radio band - I suspect the selector slider is the first part to wear out. I have a similar sized rechargeable radio and wanted it to run on batteries as a backup. For about $15 it works.
