I got this to listen to AM talk radio but it does not have the AM band as advertised. Amazon even sent me another with the same problem. You can zoom in on the picture on this page and see that it is not there.

Although the tuner is quite sensitive to a signal, this radio’s sound is simply terrible. After several attempts to pick up a local station, I literally smashed the stereo off of my garage floor in disgust. I’m now on the market for a Sony.

It doesn’t have AM as it says. Very poor quality sound and a lot of distortion. the Shorwave doesn;t work properly. Dotot buy it.

This was a neat little radio, great to have with me when working in the garden etc. The main flaws were bad sound with weaker stations (while my other radio sounded almost perfect) and being hard to tune (the tuning wheel wasn’t very responsive). However, being rather cheap, I didn’t expect much more from it.
The reason why I don’t have it any more though is that I accidentally broke it by using too high voltage (I have a variable voltage adaptor). I think it blew a fuse, this is usually a trivial thing to replace. However, this radio turned out to be virtually impossible to disassemble and repair with reasonable effort and tools that I had at home, so I ended up getting a different model from RadioShack.
