 The arm band is NOT sewn wrong! Apr 25, 2008
By Ed and Ellen Harrison
Many people have said the arm band is sewn wrong. IT iS NOT. (e.g. "The arm band was a puzzle, all the velcro patches were on the same side which would not allow wrap around strapping so I had to glue a patch on the opposite side at the appropriate location and it works like it should.").
I thought so too, at first. Then I figured out how it works and it is really easy to use and comfortable.
If you put the radio down on its face you are looking at the velcro band as it crosses behind the radio. Your instinct is to stick this on your arm and try to wrap the strap completely around your arm. If you do this, the velcro will not stick and you will think the product is broken.
Instead, grab the velcro band in the center and LIFT it up so it forms a loop. You can now see the back of the radio (in fact part of the radio forms about 1/3 of the circumference of the loop). Insert your arm into the loop. Now grab the end of the strap on one end, turn it back around on itself and stick it to the strap. Repeat for the other side.
The trick is to recognize that your arm touches the back of the radio. The velcro does NOT wrap 360-degrees around your arm.

Good Digital Radio for the Price Jan 20, 2006
By Dandelion Fog
Pros:
This is my 4th portable digital radio. I live in a small city. I feel both of its FM and AM receptions are good, especially the AM because of radio's small size. I can find many stations and can lock them easily. I use it while I drive (no radio in my car) and when I walk. The volume is loud enough. I haven't tried its arm band.
Cons:
1. Its preset station selection button only lets you go upward. With 10 presets each for FM and AM, it may take you a few more pushes to get back to your last preset station.
2. The Hold switch protrudes from radio's body, so it's turned to Hold "accidentally" quite often in my pocket. Small annoyance.
3. One of my favorite AM music stations, only this one, sounds distorted somehow.
4. Of course, its earbugs are useless because they keep slipping out my ears.
Overall:
It's a good digital AM/FM radio for $15.

Great radio for the price ^_^ Jan 13, 2007
By Mr. T
If you are looking for a cheap FM/AM radio, this is the one.
Reception was my most concern when I was shopping for a radio. I received this radio today and it has a pretty decent reception both FM and AM, actually better than my old Sony which I bought for $35 (very disappointed). I live in Oakland, CA and work in Novato, CA. I've tested both places. Since Novato is a bit furture away from San Francisco area, the reception is a bit weak especially when I got inside the building, however, it works great when I tried it in Oakland (which closer to San Francisco) I got pretty good signal from both FM/AM in and outside the building. The head phone that comes w/ the unit is so so. I use my better headphones that I bought awhile back and it sounds great!
Overall this radio good if 1. the reception is your major concern 2. you don't want to spend over $20.

"Gym Grandma"
I successfully use the radio feature of this device while working out at the gym. It stays put on my arm and gets good reception of the retransmission of the TV shows playing in the gym. I would buy another if I ever need to.

Good radio for the price Oct 05, 2007
By kLoWn
This is a good radio for the price. The armband is a little uncomfortable. The digital tuning is nice and 10 presets are cool. I mainly use it at the gym to tune into the TV's that they have. It works good for that.
