Sony ICF38 Portable AM/FM Radio (Black) Reviews
Daytime reception of favorite station 90 miles away is fine. I can. The Sony ICF38 portable is just the right size for use at the ranch. set it up and listen anywhere on the place. Quality is good and so. far I'm on the first set of AA batteries.
I bought one for my Dad and I would definitely buy it again. The battery life has been so good I haven't had to fool around with the cord yet. Digital is awesome but I love having a tough little old school radio. I like having a built in power cord but I haven't used it yet. I have to move it around sometimes to receive the signal I want but I am very happy with this radio.
This Sony ICF38 proved itself when used in this strong signal area without front end overload which also allowed listening to weaker out of town stations on both AM and FM. The sound quality is pleasing for a radio in this price range and size. Basic and decent quality radios like this are not always easily found in retail stores, especially the nationally known chains where shelf space is at a premimium. I am happy I was able to find this radio available on line.
It is a fantastic, basic ( easy to use ) portable radio reminiscent of portable radios we had years ago long before the digital tuning age. I find it rather attractive in visual appearance and very practical including the detent in the carry handle to position it up or down without it flopping around if the radio is moved. I wanted a basic AM-FM Radio with analog tuning to take traveling with me. The tuning indicator calibration is fairly accurate as well if you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to it will not be difficult to tune in. It is a good one to keep on hand for loss of power emergencies. I am seriously considering ordering a second one.
Battery consumption is conservative. As different countries have different channel spacing digital tuning would not always be suitable and I prefer analog tuning anyway. Initial comparison testing prior to my travels indicated that, for the price, the Sony ICF38 has quite good signal sensitivity and selectivity for a basic radio in this price class. I like the Sony ICF38. One area I was going to with this radio is in a strong " RF " enviornment where several nearby broadcast stations can easily overload the front end of cheap radios making them nearly useless.
Everything is just fine and the radio plays nicely and sits on my desk perfectly
The stations are clear and really good volume. This item is perfect. Have plenty of radios, but none that were just battery. Needed a portable battery powered radio for use when we loose power during storms.
