For $10 I can't complain. It works as I expected. Reception is typical. It'll pull in any station I would expect it to and when I move around the stations come and go as will with any radio.One thing I didn't expect was that the headphone jack is mono. It only works in one ear. That's fine for me since all I listen to is talk radio with it and I like being able to hear from the other ear. Just thought I'd mention this in case it's a deal breaker for you.My only complaint is that the volume knob is super touchy and goes from zero to sixty in .03 seconds. I mean from no sound at all to blasting with the slightest touch.Other than that it really suits the purpose I bought it for and was worth the $10.If you want a beater at a beater price this is for you. If you want a Corvette, spend the money 'cause this ain't no Corvette.
