 More absolutely Total Junk January 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the second non-workable COBY radio I purchased from Amazon this month. The clock and the display do not function, at all.
COBY radios are total junk and selling them is cheating consumers.
I will not return either radio (too much trouble) as a lesson to myself.
DO NOT BUY COBY>
Shame on Amazon for selling this kind of cheating Junk.

My husband is a mailman. This is a perfect size radio and the reception is awesome. He has tried others but nothing can compare to this model. For the prize - you can NOT go wrong!

I have an extensive collection of radios, small, medium, large, analog,and digital. This radio is without a doubt the worst of the lot. The reception is so poor,it barely qualifies as a radio. I gave it away, but probably should have thrown it away to save the new owner the trouble.
 AM/FM is OK, SW just isn't there... December 9, 2004

I understand that you shouldn't expect a lot from the radio that lists under $15 but I believe that manufacturer should deliver on the basic functionality. None of the short wave bands works, all you get is a lot of static and some distorted FM transmissions (yes, on SW band). Also, I've noticed that the the frequency bands don't follow standard convention, which could make some of them pretty useless (if they were working).
I own several portable AM/FM/SW radios and, although some of them have better SW reception than others, I've never had an item that claims SW coverage but has none.
On the positive note, AM/FM seems to be OK.
