This radio I use for half a year as a stationary radio in my workshop, because it is very compact and you can set up the boxes everywhere. It was installed in a small wooden cabinet with a 1.2Ah gel battery and a power supply (no switching power supply disturbs). The battery takes over the maintenance of settings after switching off. The PSU invites Operating on the battery. The radio on VHF an excellent sensitivity and selectivity, a piece of wire as antenna 1m ranges from completely. MW and LW are sowiso superfluous because the day only a few stations can be heard and then very poor quality. Also very good the sound settings, so can the speakers be optimally adapted. Also prima CD mode with MP3 or WMA files and USB sticks can be connected also. All in all a very good part of the money is worth it.
