Review on Portable Radio Pocket AM FM Transistor Radio: Battery Operated with Loud Speaker, Earphone Jack, Great Reception & Stereo Bass Sound - Perfect Gift for Elderly by Johnny Price

Radio is good when you're on the FM band, but using the AM disc is hit or miss, but not when you're into off-air hiss and look for noise. You extend the antenna all the way. With this radio you are basically just buying a radio for FM use. The AM/FM ON/OFF selector is in a single slide knob and they are not the most reliable for long term use of the electronics so most manufacturers place the ON/OFF switch in the volume control dial. Long-term use will be the ultimate proof.
