I goal was to find a moderate to low cost portable FM tuner to wear for working out, jogging, walks, office, etc.
I chose the RCA RP1667. It is an FM/AM receiver with digital tuning and 10 presets for each band. It includes a standard pair of low-end headphones and a removable belt clip. It is 2.5" W, .75" D, 3.75" H, requires 2 AAA batteries (full specs at rca.com).
I evaluated solely on FM reception of two channels of interest, [two of my favorite radio stations]. Ann Arbor sits in a valley and has notoriously poor FM reception. (Even my high-end receiver with an indoor Terk antenna struggles.) Using the RP1667, I found [one station] comes in strong nearly everywhere, including several indoor locations. [The other station] is a weaker signal, but comes acceptably (although with some static) with the mono switch engaged.
In addition to this unit, ... I tried [three] competitors... All three were inferior to the RP1667. Only the RP1667 had a mono switch.
In this case, the cheapest was the best (at least for my stations in my locations).
Great Radio!!!
Rating: 5/5
I bought several radios and returned them all because of poor quality and reception. This radio is definitely what I was looking for. It's compact and I get excellent reception. I bought it for the gym so I can tune into the TV through a FM channel and it is crystal clear. I also use it while I walk and at the beach and have never had a problem. Excellent all around- size, durability, reception, earphones. I LOVE IT!! And a great price! I highly recommend it!!
Very nice for the price.
Rating: 5/5
This is a very nice little personal radio for the price. I use it at the gym and in other situations and am very happy with it. A totally pleasant little product, in my opinion. (You may prefer to get regular earbuds, as I did.)
