Sensitive and decent selectivity. A little better than average audio quality for a portable this small. 2 "AA" alkalines will last a very long time, even with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196976086660 Sat, 24 Sep 2005 12:15:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196976086660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184984440452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t-r-a - While somewhat large for a "portable", the AM reception on this thing is unmatched. Yeah, dial calibration is off 100Khz or more on AM, but selectivity makes up for this. Sound quality is also great (almost like listening to a good-quality tube type... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184984440452 Thu, 2 Jun 2005 00:24:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184984440452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184983654020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author t-r-a - First one purchased wouldn't work at all (LED's light but no volume). 2nd one works on FM & SW but interference from the LED's makes AM unusable.

Maybe my Sony is defective, but there's a definite "whistle/whine" noise all through the AM band (even when it's nowhere near other... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184898064004 Wed, 1 Jun 2005 03:55:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184898064004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181209566852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t-r-a - Purchased SL-1 new in 1995. Car still runs great (regularly maintained) and now gets 43MPG as a daily driver (136,000 miles). Few issues, only significant one being a ring job around 97,000. Wouldn't hesitate to drive it coast-to-coast if need be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181209566852 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 02:56:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181209566852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155978927748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t-r-a - After receiving the KA-007, my first impression was "another cheap Chinese throw-away". But it is surprisingly sensitive (although selectivity could be somewhat better) and seems very capable of pulling in more distant stations (especially TV) that most... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155978927748 Thu, 23 Sep 2004 14:30:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155978927748?linkin_id=8003929
