 very bad product January 2, 2008
This radio is less than total junk.......fm band is inoperable...i am so upset, i will eat the loss, instead of sending back, etc.....
This is sold and stocked by Amazon (not some other company) and is so far below Amazon;s old standards as to be worthy of this critical review....Amazon should be ashamed.........

Even for a Coby this thing is horrible. You wont get clear signals of any station. The materials are cheap and the dial broke after 2 weeks. I gave it 1 star because you can't give it a zero.
 Digital Tuning? February 14, 2007

It has a digital display for AM and FM radio, but the problem is the tuning itself is not digital. You spin a knob on the side to tune it... making this no easier to tune stations. Who knew they even made radios like this? I bought this so I could easily change the channels from AM to FM but it is not easy at all. In fact it is very difficult to get to the right frequency. Also, I could not get in an AM channel that I know other radios could in the same location. On the plus side, it was compact and cheap. You get what you pay for I guess.
 Does not quite deliver all you want January 10, 2007

I've been using the COBY CX39 for a few months. It has a few oddities that I wish I had know before I purchased it. The AM stations all have a high-pitched interference sound no matter what station and what direction I point it in. I don't experience that on my other radios. It's very annoying. The FM frequency does not do this, but AM is terrible.
The tuning is a bit odd. It doesn't lock-in to a frequency like a digital radio. You have to constantly adjust it to get the strongest signal. The dials to tune and adjust volume work counter-intuitively in that dialing up turns the dial/volume down and dialing down turns them up. Plus, it only saves one station. So if you switch between AM and FM it only keeps one of them. You can't even store your favorite on each frequency.

I own several small radios, including portable shortwaves. This is by far the most unuseable. With single conversion design and a low price I expected some things to be under par, but....the frequency readout was way off and selectivity was horrible. Regular AM stations were impossible to tune in accurately. There was significant 'bleed' between adjacent stations making it difficult to impossible to listen. I returned this unit.
