Was just shopping for a simple AM/FM radio. Considering the small form factor, this little radio has a lot of bells and whistles; i.e. AM/FM/SW/CB/AIR bands. So far, I only use the AM band for morning talk, traffic and weather. However, it's neat to fiddle with the CB/AIR bands since I live near a major highway and a small airport 8 miles away. Just wish the outer bottom shell was level so it can stand up on its own; otherwise you have to prop it up or place in your pocket. Love the amber light.
