Overview

This radio has the best speaker for any radio its size. FM Sound quality is pretty good, and while treble on AM is limited, it's clear. Weak stations come in pretty quiet, and the backlight is overly bright and has a time-out time of 1 minute, but besides that, it's a pretty decent HD portable.
