Summary: Excellent Radio
Comment: This is one of the most spectacular AM/FM radio that I bought recently. I was looking for a radio to listen to baseball games of my favorite team. The station is located pretty close to another one in the dial and it's difficult to tune it on but with this radio I did it easily and I'm very happy with it

Summary: Deal Of The Century!
Comment: Great reception. No drift. Excellent sound from this tiny speaker, with just the right amount of retro tinniness and NO buzz. It's amazing that a product that has been around for over 50 years continues to be developed and improved. All this for about half the price, in NOMINAL terms, that my Dad paid for the one he bought me when I was in grade school.

Summary: Handy Dandy Little Radio

Summary: Nice, durable pocket radio for the money
Comment: We purchased both Panasonic RF-P50 Pocket Radio as well as the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket Radio. For a mere 10 dollar bill each one cannot go far wrong with either one, truthfully. Both seem quite durable in the months that we've owned as well as operated them. Both have nice speaker sound; both have solid-feeling basic controls (AM/FM switch, ON/VOLUME/OFF wheel, STATION TUNING wheel); both use a power-sipping 100 mA of max current & a good set of AA batteries will last for quite a long while; both will likely not break with moderate use.
For sheer aesthetics, though, we give the edge to the Panasonic. :-) It also feels a tad better in the hand/pocket & has an overall, simple-but-pleasing design to it. Though we live in the "boonies" of NW Nebraska, both radios will pick up a surprising number of radio stations, especially using FM. A minor annoyance is the fact that both radios have mono capability so far as an earphone is concerned, one ear only. Both have a rather nifty red LED light that illuminates whenever an AM or FM station is tuned in... nice.
For survival uses we'd recommend using 2 lithium batteries (such as Energizer photo cells), as they literally get slightly stronger in extreme cold weather that would drain alkaline & other common cells. Though lithium batteries require responsible disposing of after they are discharged, in a survival application they are worth considering & would last a very long time (they are also lighter too)... worth the extra bucks. For on-the-job/camping we use Sanyo eneloop NiMH hybrid batteries (they hold their charge much better & will not self-discharge fast like most NiMH cells will)... again, worth the extra investment of money.
We are so pleased with both radios that it is difficult to choose one over the other, but as already noted: the design of the Panasonic seems a bit more refined. It's a matter of personal tastes, actually. Either one you choose will put a smile on your faces for a long while... a good deal at twice the price in our opinion.
