Great am/fm/tv/weatherband pocket radio
|
Comments for prospective buyers:
1) PLL (Phase locked loop) digitally synthesized radio with very low noise.
2) This radio can only be manually tunned by pressing the + (advance) or - (retreat) tuning button. It will even advance automatically if you hold the button down and you can hear the stations as they are received as the radio sweeps through the frequencies so you know where to stop holding the button and locate stations (unlike Sangean pocket radios which mute during automatic scan and seek functions). Thus, there is no fully automatic, press and scan or even a seek function, but I have found its manual tuning capability totally adequate.
3) It is as good or better than Sangean pocket radios that I have recently tried as well (including the famous DT-200VX). It remains to be seen if the new (March 2008) Sangean DT-400W (with NOAA weather coverage and broadcast alerts) will compete with the Sony SFR-37V.
4) It has a one year limited warranty and not 90 days as listed on numerous websites, including Amazon.com. This time limit is clearly listed on the instructions with the radio (the included Sony warranty certificate comes attached to the radio instructions).
5) I get excellent reception here in the mountains of New Mexico for a super-portable am/fm/tv/weatherband radio receiver with 25 presets (5 am/10/fm/5 tv and 5 for weather) that lasts 40-55 hours on one AAA battery. Weatherband signals are weak by the nature of the short range, low power NOAA transmitters and you must turn up the volume to adequately hear them and then adjust it back down for most am/fm stations especially.
6) All presets are very intuitive and easy to set and also to change as needed, especially if you travel a lot. As long as you change batteries within 3 minutes of removing the battery no presets will be lost.
7) It is extremely durable and well made and should last a very long time. In fact, my son's SRF-37V was extensively chewed 3 years ago by his young puppy and it still works! Also, the battery cover is normally hinged to the radio so that it can't be lost (unless excessive force is used when it is opened and in this case it is designed not to break, but instead to simply pop out, but can easily be reinstalled as shown in the Sony manual). It also comes with a belt clip that nicely and firmly attaches to the radio for convenience.
8) When using it inside a building go as close to the windows/walls as you can to get the very best reception. Radio waves do not penetrate very thick structures well so the best reception should generally be found outdoors for hiking, jogging, just plain walking, etc.
9) As others have stated you probably will want a better set of earphones to fully enjoy listening.
This is my personal update for an old analog Sony radio (the SRF-19W am/fm stereo radio Walkman) from the late 1980's that is still working (also with no speaker and with a DX RF (radio frequency) gain switch even way back then)! |
