from www.amazon.com
the only drawback is the button pushing required for simple tuning.
from www.amazon.com
the fine tuning dial is a real plus in nailing down the frequency.
from www.amazon.com
i looked forward to getting this small radio, and used it for about two hours before the tuning knob lost its coupling with the electronics, was still able to rotate, but actual tuning knob related

Eton FR300 AM/FM/Weather/TV Radio

$50.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
we have a local radio station that tends to bleed out most other stations on the fm dial, but this is true with most analog tuning radios i have.
from www.amazon.com
we haven't had any trouble with tuning it in or things breaking on it.
from www.amazon.com
the analog dial is maneuvered by a smooth vernier tuning mechanism, and the speaker produces clear voice and music tones..
from www.amazon.com
they used every feature including recharging of cell phones, listening to favorite tv programs and tuning into local weather channels.......as well as a much needed flashlight.
from www.amazon.com
the fine tuning knob really works and the headphone jack is a nice addition.

Eton Sound 100 AM/FM Radio

$85.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
more compact than either (no wall wart accompanying it), 2 truly independent alarms, a beautifully conceived tuning dial (no poking at little buttons or hunting with a manual tuner), and competitive
from www.amazon.com
the sangean has a slight advantage in that it has manual tuning; in contrast, the eton must be either toggled (a very slow process going from one band width extreme to the other) or tuned with
from www.amazon.com
sound and tuning are exemplary.
from www.amazon.com
the eton is a tad easier to use as an alarm clock, and has a theoretically superior extendable metal antenna versus the rather cheap sangean wire tuning cable.
from www.amazon.com
the five memory presets per band are inadequate, as is the lack of indicators (even for mute) on the bright but unevenly-illuminated readout, the difficulty in manual tuning or the complete absence

Sony Walkman SRF-H11 FM/AM Radio

$95.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
lightweight, stays on during strenuous exercise, the analog tuning allows you to easily pick up stations (at the gym or while you're outside).
from www.amazon.com
and tuning is not convenient.
from www.amazon.com
tuning and volume controls are easy to adjust.
from www.radioshack.com
yes the manual analog tuning does take extra effort but is worth it,since the signal is clean with no interference from a display like some digital tuners have.
from www.amazon.com
bottom line:uncomfortable...analog tuning(something i thought went out years ago)...stupid strap behind the head...goofy looking...

Sangean ATS 909 S

$282.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the user has the choice of tuning in stations directly with the keypad on the front of the radio, or by using the continuous-tuning knob on the side.
from www.amazon.com
having another step to remember makes tuning a pain at times.overall, i believe the sangean ats-909 is an excellent radio and a good value for shortwave listeners with a little experience.
from www.amazon.com
i can also see why some people don't like the sony 7600 because it doesn't have the tuning knob.
from www.amazon.com
the deluxe version eliminates muting while tuning manually (something you can only do with sangean, since neither the sony 7600gr nor the grundig have tuning knobs), this allows you to adjust the

the reception picks up interference too easy and the tuning button is way too touchy

the tuning knob broke off the replacement radio making the radio worthless since i can only tune into the preset radio stations.
