Attractive price for digital tuning..but.. November 20, 2008
This is a good deal for it's price- digital tuning with preset buttons- AM/FM/NOAA. There is a problem using the AC power (with supplied AC power cord)- when powered with AC the LED panel fades to almost unreadable! I decided to buy a second unit to see if another would have the same problme: yes! Thus, there is a defect when operating on AC power, so I don't recommend using AC power. However, operating on batteries is ok- no fading of the LED panel. Also, operating on DC adapter also tested and works ok (DC power adapter is not provided- I got one at Radio Shack: AC-TO-DC POWER ADAPTER 1.5-15VDC, 300ma and set it for 4.5 DCV)
Everything else works ok- and this is the style of radio I wanted, and there are no others like this at this price. I now have three units. This has digital tuning with quick change preset buttons and a volume knob on the right side, which is very nice! The LED panel has black letters on a non-lighted background and is hard to read- ignore the bright LED panel you see in the pic-it does not look like that! However there is a light button that lights up for 6 seconds and helps you read it better. Reception is fine for local stations, which provide good clear speaker sound, with no noise.
It's fine if you are looking for a very inexpensive digital radio, (I found nothing cheaper in this style) but you may have the AC power problem I have, and you will have to get the Radio Shack DC power adapter (4.5v, 300ma), or just use 3 D-size batteries.

The Coby CX789 radio was cost effective for what I was looking for--a digital radio that happened to have a clock, rather than a clock radio. A couple of times I've picked it up and it beeped and zero'd itself back to the factory setting forcing me to reset the clock and radio stations. The other day when I was lowering the antenna, it broke, so I'll have to replace that. Hopefully Radio Shack has a replacement that will work. So, the unit does not take a lot of punishment. It does run on batteries--3 D cells, so that's a plus, other than a small 9 volt would have been lighter and more convenient. There are a lot of walls where I work so the reception isn't the best; it only picks up a couple of the most powerful stations in town. Dave T

The AM/FM/NOAA sections work fine. The battery life is excellent! The clock can easily be cleared!!! This makes resetting necessary from normal handling. If you don't care about the clock it is very good at it's other functions. It's sound quality is average. It has very good per dollar qualities. THE CLOCK STINKS!!!
