Great Radio
(4 out of 5) by R. Van Wagner on Jul 27, 2007 (Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, United States of America)I would give this 4.5 stars. It has excellent fringe area reception and voices are clear coming out of the speaker. It seems to have less static noise even during lightning storms. The easy presets make it very easy to use!!!!
The one think that could be done is to have more than five AM presets. Then I would give it 5 stars.

like to travel and camp?
(5 out of 5) by Ruth H. Maki on Jun 12, 2007 (Fort Wayne, IN.)This radio is for you. You will will stay up on things. Speaker a little small but with earphone jack is very good. DXer? Great! Been DXing since 1946 and finally have a radio to travel with. All controls handy. Love it!

Great radio
(5 out of 5) by Jeffrey A. Cruz on May 29, 2007I wanted a small, portable radio that allowed me to switch stations quickly. This item is perfect!! 5 or more preset stations, emergency channels, am/fm, tv and timer. Very pleased.

Great portable radio
(4 out of 5) by John T. Kycek on Mar 8, 2009 (Minneapolis, MN)This is a great, but not perfect, radio. After hearing much about the C. Crane radios and reading reviews, I thought I would give the Sonido a try.
I am a UPS driver, and need a portable radio for my package car. This model definitely meets most of my needs. For it's size, it kicks out an adequate amount of volume. It uses 4 D size batteries and a week into it (10 hours a day) it still has 2 of 3 battery indicators remaining.
The only knock on it is that there are a couple of AM channels that should be coming in somewhat better than they do. Other than that, I would highly recommend this radio to anyone who is looking for a smaller, attractive, and great sounding radio.
**UPDATE**
I finally had to change the batteries. At about 80% volume, roughly 10 hours a day, they lasted 14 days...so approximately 130-150 hours. Not bad!
