Overview

This radio is probably my go-to portable FM radio. I've used it to do many of my recent bandscans, as I've found it to have just about everything I need to do one. The RDS on this radio is the most in-depth of any of my other radios, and also has the ability to set time over RDS. While AM Radio is cut off at 7.5kHz, meaning there's not much for treble, sound quality is pretty clear. If you have any HD radio stations in your area you want to listen to, or if you're in need of a good portable radio, get this radio.
