Rating: Summary: Radio reception issues Review: I had a difficult time returning this item. It was easy to program radio stations into memory and at times the sound quality was good. The bass button was noticeable even with the stock headphones, which don't totally suck. However, I just found tuner interference to be too much. In a neighborhood where my car stereo doesn't have annoying blips and gaps, this unit didn't give me good clean reception. Both AM and FM reception had this problem at times. Sunspot activity? Maybe---we are having high activity now. Radio Shack's manager blamed the nuclear plant at Reed college....I doubt it---that would cause far more problems than radio reception. He also said that no other units would be any better....we shall see.... I didn't try the CD player...I presume it would be fine.
