I purchased this model for a lower price at a local "mom and pop" store in my town. This model is quite cheap in quality and rivals Goodwill in value. That's the problem, the tuning indicator sticks while "sweeping" for stations, and since it's a low-market model, it lacks decent sound quality and any form of sensitivity. It's not too bad if you've recieved it as a gift, but quality control is severely lacking for this company.
