This radio is an all-rounder. In all modes, super reception or reproduction. Also the sound is pleasant (can be adjusted with the equalizer). The design is very well done. For once, not black! The keys are very comfortable to press and the settings with the rotary wheel (with print function) is simple and ergonomic. USB top with cover (no dust falls into the socket) practically. Play the mp3 - music perfectly. The operation of the radio is to learn in a short time and the most important thing you quickly on it! Small minus is the English manual. The German can be downloaded at Sangean in the net. The radio is well worth the money. With the battery I have not tried the operation. But I do definitely. This one is absolutely mobile. . Trifle regarding ergonomic touch: for transporting a handle or a matching recess in the housing would be any help. We must firmly grasp it for converting; it is nich very easily; and even more so with batteries. But that's not so important. After 1 week of operation overall rating very well. Addendum to ergonomics: On the back there is a Längsvorwölbung to which one can be "frozen" when worn with your fingertips; works. And note that batteries and batteries must have the size "Mono".
