Why????
, November 29, 2007Reviewer: Yahoo! Shopping UserPros: Cheap and Simple
Cons: Muddy sound and Very few tuning options.

Pros: great radio reception in remote location's
Cons: not enough fine tunning options
You get very good radio reception, and enough power to do just about whatever you need for normal household use. lacks fine tunning for heavy music recording, but offers more than enough for all around use for the price.
