Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio Silver


Best 10 bucks I've spent in years!5

BUY THREE!



I've never written an online review before but his radio is great and is worth the trouble.

I'm a Ham Operator and I restore tube radios for a hobby so I've spent a few hours listening to DX I know crap I know hype and I know a miracle when I trip over one. I started looking around for a pocket radio to keep in my truck because sometimes I would be caught working away from the shop for hours without any news or music. If you're a radio nut you can guess what happened next. A month later probably twenty hours online and more than a hundred bucks worth of pocket radios and I wasn't happy. I'd had fun and now had some radios handy around the house for "adequate" use (radios & led flashlights can't have enough!). Even though I had run across this radio online and in reviews I didn't put it on my list of probables It was just a $10.00 radio and I was limiting myself to vintage radios with discrete transistor designs or new IC designs over $30 or $40 dollars. After all I wanted a "good radio". I was pretty much interested in an analog radio because in this price range digital sets are usually noisey battery hogs and plauged by "birdies". Finally I ordered one of these because "what the heck" ten bucks if it sucks I'll give it away. When it showed up I plopped in a set of AA's tuned the dial and heard lots of stations good sign. Any radio that has analog tuning with a dial thats two inches across is a challenge but thats ok. Low and behold theres KGNC from over 120 miles away and it's 1500hrs(3pm). What the hay! Listen up buyers This radio is TEN BUCKS and it can hear stations others can't. No one has learned how to put sensitivity selectivity and audio into one box this size but this radio is a miracle! Don't get me wrong this is not a Sony 2010 or a GE SRIII but it's small enough and cheap enough to have one in every room of the house and in each car. And the speaker is good enough that you don't have to use phones. It has a telescoping antenna for FM. Some radios that cost 6X as much don't have a tele. ant. they use the headphone cables. That means even if your using the speaker you have to have the headphones plugged in or the FM stinks. Since this is still a new toy it hasn't yet made it to the glove box in the truck I'm still playing with it. I live in the Panhadle of Texas and last night I listened to a talk show in Nebraska before bed; woke up and touched the dial and there was a great morning show in San Antonio. If this radio was $70.00 I'd give it 3 or 3.5 stars for TEN to FOURTEEN dollars it is a true bargain! Some others may review this radio and subtract points because of selectivity or something remember this radio cost less than a good burger and fries! I've spent thousands of dollars on radios; CollinsIcomYaesuSony and others. I have better radios than this one but I've never had anything for >$15.00 that was this good.



Buy two or three I did.
