Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Silver
Digital camera Review: A OK cheapo radio
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this little radio for use on the train to listen to NPR during my hour long commute. It picks up standard FM ok- BUT- as you have to use headphones on the train-the sound only comes out of one of the sides of the headphones.- it is mono- I originally sent the radio back assuming it was defective- but quickly a new one arrived- with the same problem. I have gotten used to listen to the radio with only one ear- Further comments- the sound through the radio regular speaker is ok for talk programs, news etc and marginal for music. For the price- I am pleased - but would have appreciated being able to hear my radio station with my headphones with both ears.Digital camera Review: A REAL RADIO

This little Sony is just perfect if you want just an AM FM portable radio. Yes, it runs on two double A batteries! Perfect for those times when the power is out during a storm! SONY quality is apparent despite the low price: excellent tone and it WORKS!Digital camera Review: A Sirius-ly good transistor...and no monthly fee
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing little radio. Just last Friday night, I picked up junior hockey broadcasts from Windsor and Sarnia, Ontario, oldies from Toronto, news from Montreal, and NHL broadcasts from Chicago and Buffalo -- all from my New York City living room. It's actually kind of eerie how many distant signals this thing picks up. Strongly recommended for East Coast sports fans. With so many major cities crowded together, you'll have more out of market broadcasts than you know what to do with.Digital camera Review: A big disappointment

After reading all the reviews here and elsewhere I decided to buy the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket Radio. It arrived today and I had 2 "AA" batteries ready to try it out. What a letdown!! I tried the AM band first and all I could hear was a strong static hash clear across the AM dial.. I tuned around and found six stations that were strong enough to punch through the hash. This pretty much eliminates searching for weak stations. To be fair, I considered that there may be some local interference and I drove out to the City park, away from all buildings and wires. It was the same situation, hash across the AM band. The FM is fine, stations come in clear and no static, seems to pick up a lot of FM stations. The little speaker does a good job for its size. I will keep this radio for emergencies, but that is it. I am now looking at the Sangean DT-400W as my personal radio. I am grateful that I only spent $12.00 for it.Digital camera Review: A good buy

I bought it for taking to the gym and getting the sound for the TV as my wife works out. It works well for that. The tuning is kind of touchy and takes a moment to get it tuned to the correct channel, but then it works fine. The sound is clear and plenty of volume.
I'm pleased with the purchase.
