== review ==The great benefit of this model is that it has a built in telescoping antenna. Many such units which do not include a built in speaker assume that the user will be using earbuds and thus rely on the earbud wiring for the FM antenna. This is useless for people that intend on connecting the unit to an external speaker amplifier system such as a PA. Thanks to the built in telescoping antenna for FM reception it is not necessary to have the earbuds connected to have FM reception! The AM MW broadcast reception is also very good for this radio. It is unknown however assumed the unit utilizes a built in ferrite loop antenna for AM reception in addition to an active signal boost. For the size of the unit the AM MW broadcast reception is impressive.MP3 music player capability - not yet tested.Battery life - not yet tested.If you need a basic AM/FM tuner receiver to connect to a PA amplifier, stereo amplifier, powered speakers or the audio line-in input of a computer, then this little radio should serve you well. It also serves the basic need as a portable audio device with earbud headphones that are included.
