there are no screw terminals for antenna connection, just a jack with a warning not to use except with sony accessories since it carries dc voltage to power those accessories.

from www.amazon.com
i like the led flashlight built into the side as i imagine it will be handy when the power goes out.
from www.amazon.com
the store where i evaluated the unit sits within a couple of hundred yards of a couple of very high power commercial radio and tv stations, and the receiver showed no evidence of desense or overload.

from mom217, www.target.com
it has all the features i wanted except battery backup in case the power goes off.
from www.amazon.com
during storms and other electrical outages in florida, it is great to have a clock that automatically resets itself after an electrical power failure - - no more manuel setting this clock for me !!!

Sangean PR-D7

$80.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it is surprisingly powerful for a smaller radio.
from www.amazon.com
in terms of practicality, it has great options for power, including rechargeable or regular batteries, or wall outlet, plus rechargeable batteries can charge while the radio is plugged into the wall.
from www.amazon.com
the only apparent negative is that it lacks button protection to prevent the radio from being accidentally power on-- a common failing of many portable radios.
from www.amazon.com
it is small, yet very powerful.
from www.amazon.com
i've owned one ccrane and returned it because it wasn't half the "power" in pulling in stations as the sangean.

a 'tuner' that uses much less power than modern stereo rigs.
from www.amazon.com
it says repeated pressing of the power&sleep button will finally set the sleep timer to off which is how i would like use the radio.
from www.amazon.com
powered by d-cells which seem to last forever, the fm audio is fabulous for a $150 radio and long distant night time am band reception is simply great.
from www.amazon.com
i like the sound quality and the fact that it has three power sources: (1) 4 d-cell batteries; (2) 4 a-cell batteries; (3) and, plug-in power cord to conserve on the batteries when you are at home.

from www.amazon.com
even if you don't want a radio in the shower, buy it for those emergency situations when the power goes off.
from www.amazon.com
i can't figure out if it is due to the weak signal generated by my favorite sports talk radio station, or due to the tuning power of the radio just not being there.
from www.amazon.com
they could put a more powerful antenna on this radio and it would be perfect.

we purchased this sony shower radio for our bath because of lack of a convenient power outlet and do not actually use it in the shower.
from www.amazon.com
when a bad storm hit and knocked out the power, my mother was able to use this radio to check the weather and hear the local news.
from www.amazon.com
so the time is always right, even with the occasional power outs we have in our area, which messes up all the plug in radio times.

Jensen MR600 AM/FM/Weather Radio

from www.crutchfield.com
the modulator gets its power from the xm radio, and a cigarette lighter socket is included if you need it to power the xm radio.
from www.crutchfield.com
but all the lower power fm stations no longer prevent us from using their frequencies for our xm radio.
from www.crutchfield.com
i was pleased it simply went in line with the two antennae and didn't need a separate power connection.
from www.crutchfield.com
since it requires no power source of it's own, it was a simple install for my vehicle.
from www.amazon.com
the other critique is the lack of an ac power supply.

Midland Weather/Hazard Radio

from www.amazon.com
the radio is easy to program and with a back up battery it is great when the power goes off, which mine has done several times since i bought the radio.
from www.amazon.com
make sure to plug the power supply into the correct jack in the back of the radio, there is a jack labeled pc that's about the same size as the power jack.
from www.amazon.com
i at least had batteries in it and they didn't last long with the power out which is the time when you most want to know where the storm is.
from www.amazon.com
it also runs on batteries for when the power goes out.
from www.amazon.com
it also uses battery back-up, performing with the loss of ac power, and also allowing you to take it with you on a shopping trip or vacation and still get the warnings while driving, etc.
