 Good radio, but with a caveat. September 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the Sonido radio based upon the reviews posted on Amazon which praised the superior AM reception of the radio. AM reception was my main purpose for purchasing the radio as my venue in Pennsylvania made it difficult to listen to Yankee broadcasts out of NYC (some 110 mile away).
Thus my expectation was high. I was therefore disappointed when putting the radio to the test when radio's reception was found to be no better than other radios used in my home. I even tried to incorporate the use of an additional antenna, and so purchased a Sangean Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna. That too did not significantly improve my AM reception(either for NYC stations or for closer Philadelphia stations). The Twin Coil was returned to Amazon soon after its initial use.
The Sonido is a good radio as it has nice sound and good FM reception, but it simply falls short of the AM reception claims. So I only give it 3 stars. Now, to be fair, I live in a Valley area and so the geographic location of my residence may play a part in what radio signals come through. Though my car radio picks up a better AM signal while driving in the neighborhood I live then does the Sonido.
 Excellent radio September 17, 2008
Read the many reviews and decided to buy this radio for my wife to use outside in the gardens and greenhouse. She loves it, we have difficulty with reception in the area we live in, but this radio picks up the Seattle radio stations and weather stations with no problem and has good clarity.
Nice Radio September 16, 2008
This is the perfect size radio with a great sound. Easy to use. My only
problem with it is that there is no handle to carry it. Outside of that
I am glad I purchased this radio.
GREAT RADIO!! September 13, 2008
This a one great radio. The reception is awesome, even if you don't pull out the antenna. I came home one day and my husband had it playing on the porch, I thought he had the home stereo system playing, it sounded so good.
This radio was purchased as a job radio, on construction sites. It is a nice compact size and you don't have to pull out the antenna to get any station you want. A broken off antenna was the reason we replaced the last stereo. The fact that it gets TV stations is a bonus. If my husband works late, he can always hear the news. This is a great radio. It is small and compact, has great sound and the best reception. We love this radio!!
radio fan August 22, 2008
I've own the radio for a few weeks and am very pleased with it. I think the sound on both AM and FM are excellent for a small radio, though, of course, AM is not nearly as good as FM. One unexpected bonus with this radio is that it can be connected to my stereo system and provide through the headphone output and it provides credible stereo sound.
Highly recommended!
