I've been using little radios on my commute for years, and this is the best - even better than the old SONY FM/AM Walkman Sports that was my previous favorite. Terrific FM reception, it pulls in a pretty good selection of downtown stations even when my train reaches the outer 'burbs (and it receives very well inside the train, another sign of the tuner strength). The best, most convenient battery change I've ever seen, and runs for quite a while on a single AAA. Size is perfect. Distant/Local switch handles downtown overload pretty well.
Downsides: Memorizing a station requires a Mensa certificate, no auto-off (do any of them?) - but these are minor. Great choice for a commuter radio.
