Great companion radio
Edit 12/14/20 Since my purchase two weeks ago Eton has more than doubled the price on Dropy of this radio to $47.98 which seems a bit high.Awesome, fun little radio. I would buy this again. If you own the Eton Traveler or Executive, this is a great little companion radio. Slips in a shirt pocket.Pros:-Crisp clear sound for size-Receives really well on FM, MW and SW (almost as good as Eton Traveler)-Fits in a shirt pocket.-No hiss with headphones-Nice volume adjustmentThe radio could be perfected by adding:-A kickstand-Rubberized edges or corners-Add some internal weight for a more rugged feel-12 hour time option-Memory presets- a better fitting case with holes for the screenCons:-Band switch is stiff-Insufficient packaging. Box and plastic insert were crushed. Needs more cardboard inside the box.-Faux leather case is too tight and the holes don't match the button. I snipped the case near the hole for power button to ease some tension. It's like the factory measured the case and didn't account for the stitching.Tips:- you can use the Time button to advance through the frequencies faster. It's really helpful.-A common sunglasses pouch makes a great protective bag and gives you something to wipe the screen with.If you are on the fence, give it a try. It's a joy to use!

A super radio at a great price ($37 currently), utilize earphones, screen not good in bright sun.
I acquired this in March of 2020. Definitely a good buy Cost about the same 4 yrs later. News and police/fire etc. Reception and sound quality are fantastic for distance but local channels not so much if in very rural area am pleased with me..However, if SHTF Im not going to be worrying about the newest hits and local DJS. extremely adequate. Moved end of 2021 and packed away still " on." I just noticed it ( February 2024) and battery charge is near FULL!!

Micro size. Macro reception and sound grade. This instantly became my beloved radio.
I don't like reinventing the wheel. Simply put, its a fantastic key.My thoughts: The key is wonderful. I must admit after reading some of the negative reviews, I was a bit skeptical about getting the key. So this is a great key to take camping or POTA, SOTA, LOTA and/or just in your shack.The key comes with a wide paddle contact stance which for me was unacceptable, personal taste. Or you can use a tone oscillator.Now you can work with a set of feeler gauges or do what most amateur operators do, adjust it by feel for each paddle.In-depth Directions:You need a 5.5mm wrench and a 1.5mm hex key.You loosen the 5.5mm nut on each of the paddle arms which then allows you to employ the hex key and turn the screw in the center of that 5.5mm nut.Turn screw clock wise (CW) and the screw will get closer to the the contact post which makes it require very little pressure on the paddle to key the radio.Counter clockwise to move the screw away from the contact post thus making more of an effort, wider distance, to push the paddle to key the radio.Remember keep the 5.5mm wrench on the loosened nut while adjusting the screw. Turn each screw until you hear a tone. RB left a pretty solid review of the key so I encourage that as additional reading. Which means no rust! Then back off CCW the screw until the tone stops, about a 16th of an inch. When you want to remove the key, it quite holds well, just tip the key and then lift the key off. If you slide the key, I'm sure that the magnets will cause scratches over time.I hope that this review/directions helps and will forever silent the complaints about not knowing how to adjust this key, which will also hopefully stop the mischaracterization that this key receiving.Incidentally, the key comes with a 3.5mm stereo cord, nifty box case and two contact screws for future replacement, if needed.73 and see you on the air, Dit Dit Not budget-friendly by any means. Nevertheless, if you are going to place the key atop the radio, I would recommend using seemed to protect from scratching the peak of the radio. This is where you need to have some mechanical abilities and PATIENCE.Have the key plugged into your rig and turn your transmitter break-in to off so that you wont be transmitting on the air when you make spacing adjustments. Nevertheless, my fears were put to rest when I tested the key. I took a magnet to the paddles and and lower part of the body and found no attraction i.e. It is produced of high grade stainless steel. Keep the wrench on the 5.5mm nut while doing this and then tighten the nut while holding the screw with the 1.5mm hex key. If you prefer more distance, then adjust more CCW. austenite, meaning it is non-ferromagnetic. Do this for the other side and you are done.It would have been nice had the MFR included directions but lets get real here, what ham operator reads manuals.The three neodymium magnets are excellent.
