 Worth the money August 9, 2005
The GPX radio is sure worth the money. I was reluctant to spend a lot more for a Sony. It has convienent pre set memory locations for AM and FM which is handy when exercising or runnning, no fiddleing with the tuning! Earphones are lightweight and comfortable. The radio fits in the palm of your hand or can be clipped to your shorts or fastened to your arm.
Very Poor Reception July 30, 2005

I guess you get your money's worth for this little AM/FM Radio.
I was looking for an AM/FM radio that is inexpensive and I could use when I'm working out. I bought the GPX at the neighborhood Fry's. I took it home and tested it, and found quite a few problems with it. First, the lcd display is unintelligible. All I see are squiggly lines that does not even look like any recognizable stations or for that matter numbers. Second, the reception is very poor. I only get stations from the opposite end of the FM band; which, in our area are Spanish radio stations. Third, when I use it indoors (inside a gym), the reception is non existent.
The only thing nice about this little gadget is the looks. It looks rather expensive and very cool outside but I have no doubt that inside, it's nothing but subpar components. I guess there's a difference in quality as far as electronics goes between made in Japan (Sony electronics) vs. made in China. Unfortunately, everything seems to be made in China these days.
Armband/belt clip useless March 13, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Overall the radio is not bad for a small little radio, but the armband is very small, wont fit most men, and is not durable. The belt clip is a poor design in that it un clips its self from the radio when you clip it on a thicker belt. sound is good but the reception is only fair at best
Poor Design and Poor Performance February 3, 2005

I was looking for a cheap little FM radio with digital tuning that I could use to walk around the house with headphones on and this little device fit the bill.
When I got it home and opened it up one of the first things that I noticed was that the interface was poorly designed. When looking at the display you'll notice that the buttons are upsidedown. Not a big deal, it'll take a bit of getting used to but in all, not well thought out and kind of annoying.
Also the volume dial is just next to where you put the headphone jack so the headphone jack kind of gets in the way when you try to adjust the volume. Another example of poor design.
The final problem (a real show stopper) is the performance. I had problems picking up all but a few of the stations with very strong signals and got a lot of static as I moved around. Unfortunately the stations that I was able to pick up were not the ones that I wanted so I think I'm going to have to return this and pick something up that has a bit of a higher price.
