Question: Is the antenna a direct pull up or does it require a twisting motion when lowering to lock in place?
Document: Both models pull in the local stations quite easily. The Sony model seems to have a slight advantage in pulling in the slightly weaker stations but this could be due in part to the fact that its antenna is longer.4. AM reception on the Sony is much better than the Panasonic. It seems to be able to pull in the stations with more clarity. But again, the Panasonic radio can pull in the strong local AM stations just fine.5.
I would reccommend this radio to everyone who wants a simple inexpensive radio for the bathroom or kitchen. It has good sound and the reception is good especially if one has an am antenna to place near it. FM is good with the scoping antenna.I like it because it is small and can be held in my hand or my shirt pocket as I ride my bike.I did not give it 5 stars because I don't feel it meets with the output of my Sony which costs just a couple of dollars more.
Radio won't pull in stations, neither AM nor FM. Will not separate stations. Most of the bands are merely static. I was thoroughly disappointed.
Radio performs better than you have any right to expect for 10 bucks. Good sound from the built in speaker and the tuning light helps to lock in your station. Solidly built too. You definitely won't regret it.
Though lithium batteries require responsible disposing of after they are discharged, in a survival application they are worth considering & would last a very long time (they are also lighter too)... worth the extra bucks.
A thousand versions of MP3 and Ipod type players. Numerous small radios that you must listen thru earpieces and not thru speakers. Why is it that not a single manufacturer can build a small pocket radio that has a digital tuner and direct tuning push button presets as in your automobile. Radio Shack built a couple of version some 5 to 10 years ago and they were excellent.
I don't expect this to be a problem because the radio is so small, it's easy to turn it around to achieve the same effect as swiveling the antenna.
Cute little radio, and inexpensive. I can carry it with me and use it when I want to listen to my favorite radio station while waiting for my daughter at her after school activities, or during other stationary events. However, I was hoping to find something that would work during my long walks, and during my walks to the subway and in the subway. Unfortunately, this item does not regularly pick up the station I want, fades in and out, etc. if I'm in motion.
Also, please note that the collapsible FM antenna swings out from the side of the unit, not up-and-down. I barely needed it for close-to-home stations, anyway.
No frills and fully self contained. Decent reception on both AM and FM, and has an attached antenna, so nothing to misplace.Price is right, and we have several for emergency kits.
Answer: It's a direct pull-up.
