This portable pocket size radio used to be able to transmit TV stations, which is why I purchased it. However, no one mentioned that this feature would not work after the conversion on June 12 - this featue was most important to me and now it is not available. Am considering returning the product.
I looked for almost a year trying to find a portable radio (with ONLY a radio) that could get the same reception as my old one. This is the only radio I have found that is able to find a signal and keep the station coming in strong whether you're walking around your house, or walking around the neighborhood. Battery life is great, I use this unit twice daily for about 45 mins at a time and I only have to replace the batteries about once every 4 months.
I was very excited to order this radio after reading the positive reviews and even I expedited the shipping method, however, I was greatly dissapointed to find out that the TV audio does not work after the digital switch, and nowhere in the item page does it say that the TV audio is useless for this portable digital AM/FM/TV radio. I'll keep looking for a model that has this feature, as for this one the sound is great but I don't think it is worth the price.
I read the reviews before my purchase of the Sangean DT200VX and found most favorable so I decided to try it even though the cost was considerable. My purchase date was 03/26/2009. Unfortunately for me the audio stopped working just 2 months later on 06/03/2009. I'm very dissapointed.
This radio has excellent reception, a very good sound and the batteries seem to last quite a while. My wife has used it over a month and the batteries are still going strong. That was the problem with the last radio we had -- the batteries only lasted about 4 hours. It was a Coby, but of course it cost a lot less.
