I got this radio as a gift last year and just started using it as the SONY one I had for years was finally dying. This Panasonic is so hard to tune and the stations fade in and out. It basically is unusable, I have many other Panasonic products but never had a problem like this. If I had tried it sooner I might have some recourse. I would advise you to do this, as soon as you getn this product. .

I bought this radio a few months ago, after my previous one of 5-6 yrs started getting scratchy sounds. As a long-time user of Panasonic, I am SO disappointed in this product. It is so hard to tune,and have to run the dial back and forth numerous times to find the station in tune. And the slightest movement of the radio, and it moves off the station. It also chews up battery life so fast I am onto my 3rd set of batteries!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this radio about 20 years ago. I don't like earphones so I use this radio every day - mostly ABC AM stations, and for classical musc on ABC FM and 2MBS-FM - while working in the garden or just relaxing.
