The dial does NOT give the user tight control over how fast the numbers go up or down, and (just like the "Seek" function in a car) will favor stronger signals over others

Radio will not tune in even strong area signals without overlying static.

Much stronger signal than other shows radios I've owned.

I am about a month into really using it on a shelf in the shower and no issues with it still working as of now

The use of 2 AA and 2AAA batteries hasn't bothered me as yet
