The Sony ICF-801 AM/FM portable radio, is an exceptional little unit.

Chad Knaus sacrifices to be NASCAR's top crew chief

Story Highlights

• Chad Knaus will chase a record seventh title as Jimmie Johnson's crew chief
• There is a focus and work ethic within Knaus that some might say borders on the maniacal
• "Chad has done an amazing job of eliminating his weaknesses," said Darrell Waltrip

SHARE 10 CONNECT EMAILMORE

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- In Chad Knaus' meticulously neat office at Hendrick Motorsports, the presence of one memento and the conspicuous absence of so many others reveals much about NASCAR's greatest active crew chief.

Of all his Sprint Cup success with Jimmie Johnson, Knaus keeps only one trophy marking the No. 48 Chevrolet's first victory at Auto Club Speedway in April 2002.

There are no photos of family and not because Knaus doesn't desire them.

BUDWEISER DUEL 1: Kenseth wins in three-wide finish

DUEL 2: Hamlin takes crash-marred race

In the immediate afterglow of Johnson's fourth championship, Knaus spoke longingly of having a wife and kids. After their Daytona 500 victory a year ago, he fawned over his new fiance and wedding plans.

But entering a season in which he and Johnson will chase a record-tying seventh title in NASCAR's premier series starting in Sunday's Daytona 500, Knaus is single (again), childless and resigned to those being necessary sacrifices.

"Man, I have failed at that one miserably," he tells USA TODAY Sports with a chuckle. "This is my family. It really is. I love my job. I can't put the amount of effort into a relationship that you need. I identify with that now. I thought I could balance both. But ultimately, the personal relationship suffers.

"I have to make sure what we're trying to achieve here is finished."

DAYTONA 500: Starting lineup

There is a single-minded focus and insatiable work ethic within Knaus that some might say borders on the maniacal. His fastidious and forthright style has been hailed as NASCAR's answer to Nick Saban among crew chiefs. He doesn't allow his crewmembers to use phones at the track, and he has explored the concept of building cars in 24-hour shifts.

Ray Evernham, who was voted the greatest crew chief in history by a 2006 media panel, hired Knaus at Hendrick more than 20 years ago and recalls the Rockford, Ill., native telling him, "I want to be you within five years." He estimates Knaus has toiled 90-100 hours a week since to achieve it, starting with voluntary double shifts between the team's body shop and a suspension area so he could learn all facets of a stock car.

"This is all that this guy has ever wanted to do and be," Evernham said. "He's made an unbelievable commitment to become the best crew chief of his time, and he's well on the way to being the best crew chief ever. This guy has put everything else second in his life.

"I'm amazed that he's able to keep up with that level of intensity for as many years as he has."

But a softer side has emerged over the past few years as Knaus, who turns 43 in August, has become a surrogate uncle to Johnson and wife Chandra's young daughters, Genevieve and Lydia. Knaus has showered them with gifts -- including a xylophone and a hopscotch mat because "whatever I can do to annoy Jimmie a little, I take pleasure in it" -- and often played at-track babysitter last season.

"Genevieve is loving you one minute, and the next she's screaming, crying and mad, and it's really weird," Knaus said, pausing to chuckle. "But it could be just me and women. I have that effect on women."

It's left Johnson feeling sometimes conflicted about whether his professional triumphs come at the price of Knaus' personal fulfillment.

"I feel for him because I see the joy that being around my children brings, and the respect he has for the relationship Chani and I have," Johnson said. "He seems OK with it, but I know deep down inside, it's something that's been pulling on him for a while."

Fox analyst Darrell Waltrip said it's a trade-off that's common in NASCAR, noting longtime bachelors Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

"For a lot of these guys, racing is their mistress, and they can't make room for anything else," Waltrip said. "They just have the capacity for this."

Said ESPN analyst Andy Petree, who won two titles as a crew chief for Dale Earnhardt: "Chad's already married to that 48 car. If he ever got married, it might change his outlook on how long he could do this."

No bedside manner

Over 14 years as a crew chief, much already has changed for Knaus, who has morphed from intransigent crew chief with fingerprints all over the car to being comfortable with delegating authority.

"These hands haven't seen a wrench in years," said Knaus, who spends much of his time monitoring email chains. "There's too much other stuff to do from a personnel and administrative standpoint. But I can assure you I know exactly what's going on everywhere in the team.

"I focus more on communication now than anything else. We have 120 employees and touch all of them every single day. We focus really hard on making sure the messaging is consistent."

He also focuses on the details. During Knaus' walk-throughs of the shop, crewmembers are berated for leaving their shirts untucked, and other elements are scrutinized despite having seemingly little impact on competition.

Michael Landis, the team manager for Hendrick's 48/88 shop, cringed recently when he saw the chrome center hubcaps for the No. 48 hauler had been painted blue and immediately asked if it had been run by Knaus.

"You make any decisions, you have to include him," Landis said. "He might not even respond, but at least he knows. He's not trying to micromanage you. He just wants to know.

"Chad will walk by something that you spent two hours looking at, and he'll catch something you didn't. I think some look at it as, 'He's trying to find a chink in my armor or error in my work to pick on me.' But if he finds something that could have been done better according to directives, you have to wear it."

Ron Malec, who has been the No. 48 car chief since the inception of the Johnson-Knaus pairing in 2001, said Knaus has become a better leader who doesn't snap in public as much but still has a withering glare.

"You have to have thick skin," Malec said. "He's going to tell you when you've done something wrong. Chad always brings up the Yankees. That's how he wants us to be in racing as an example team and a benchmark for everyone else, and we've accomplished it a lot of years."

As the crew chief for Earnhardt Jr., Steve Letarte is Knaus' partner in co-managing the shop that builds the Chevys for teammates Earnhardt and Johnson. They have a long history at Hendrick, having worked as crewmembers on Jeff Gordon's No. 24 that won the championship in 1995, when Letarte watched Knaus regularly butt heads with his mentor, Evernham.

"He doesn't have the best bedside manner but really gets results," Letarte said. "People think they've met focused or driven people, then they come work for Chad and don't make it. He has a very unique ability to not let anything clutter his drive. Some of it can be good stuff relationships, personal goals -- but he doesn't let that get in the way, either. Every decision he makes is about winning.

"If you try to relate any communication with Chad to anyone else you've ever met, you're going to be mad and think he's being rude. And it's none of those. He's real direct with no 'please' or 'thank yous.' He doesn't care if you're happy. He doesn't care if you have to work. He doesn't care about a lot of things. You have to credit a guy who doesn't pretend. His directness is 100% authentic. That's why I enjoy working with him."

The stories of Knaus' gruff, dismissive and sometimes smug demeanor are legend and legion.

He once castigated a high-ranking executive from Lowe's, which has spent more than $100million sponsoring Johnson's cars since 2002, for lingering in his pits during a Chase for the Sprint Cup race.

Team owner Rick Hendrick said Knaus is "hard-wired" to thrive on pressure-packed situations with tunnel-vision intensity. On return flights after races, Hendrick has sat wide-eyed as Knaus has explained dozens of contingency plans accounting for miniscule tire pressure changes based on when a yellow flag flies in the final 20 laps.

"He'd have been a hell of a Navy SEAL," Hendrick said. "He's like a general. I've never seen anyone more driven. There are guys who are just as committed and just as smart. But when they get right to the deal, they can't execute like that."

As straightforward as they come

Knaus builds his team through a Management By Strengths program that uses a color-coded chart to rate personalities by directness, extroversion, pace and structure. (Knaus is a "high red" because of his brutally straightforward manner.) After 12 seasons, he feels the 2014 crew is his most self-motivated yet.

"The people who just wanted to talk about winning races, we've weeded them out," Knaus said. "Not a lot of pushing goes on anymore by me. There's a lot of people who want to race. We have a lot of people that race. They're completely different people."

When he meets with prospective employees, Knaus will ask for age and marital status and sometimes follows candidates out to the parking lot so he can observe the upkeep of their personal cars.

"Chad is a major HR violation when it comes to interviewing," Landis said. "But he's not doing it to discriminate but to understand who you are. He evaluates if you have a wife and kids, you have some sense of responsibility."

Landis said Knaus is different than the guy he met 20 years ago because "he realizes better that not everyone is wired like him."

Waltrip, who worked with Knaus while driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc. in 1998, also has witnessed the transformation.

"Chad has done an amazing job of eliminating his weaknesses," Waltrip said. "Because the rap on Chad was he couldn't work with anybody. I've seen him throw hammers and wrenches. But from the time I met him, he had only one thing in mind: He wanted to be the best crew chief in racing."

Chit-chat not his style

Knaus wakes at 5:25 a.m. ("Because I can hit snooze once, and it's still in the 5:30 range") and is at the Hendrick shop an hour later for a 7 a.m. meeting that sets the tone. During the season, he typically doesn't leave before 7 p.m., and the work usually doesn't end there.

"He goes home, spreads out all his notes with a glass of wine and tries to learn more," Evernham said. "It's no different than a musician or somebody that just practices all the time."

On weekends, it's the same routine inside the motor home, which leaves little room for a significant other.

"I can't have someone who travels with me every single week, because I can be a real jerk at the racetrack," Knaus said. "If things aren't going well, I'm not really concerned about someone who's been stuck all day long wanting to go get dinner. I'd rather open up my computer and go to work."

It has limited his interaction in a sport where the downtime often is built around small talk with competitors.

"He's very cordial, but I don't know him that well like other crew chiefs," Petree said. "I don't know anybody who is a close friend of his in the garage."

"Here's the deal: I don't have time for a lot of chit-chat," Knaus said. "I don't go to the racetrack to have a good time. I go to work, race and win. That's it.

"A lot of crew chiefs want to share setup info. Some will tell you exactly what they've got in the race car. Well, I think that's asinine. I don't want other crew chiefs to know what I'm doing. It's proprietary. The only people I share that information with are our teammates."

Malec said Knaus intentionally doesn't fraternize with No. 48 crew members as much because it got awkward when employees were fired.

"Racing is his entire life," Malec said. "Anyone says anything different, they're lying. It's all he's got."

Knaus' closest friend probably is Johnson, who struggles with how to describe him.

"As intense and crazy as he is, he's kind of a teddy bear at times," Johnson said, before a long pause and a laugh. "You know what Chad is? He's complicated."

Chit-chat not his style

In the austere environs of his office (which also contains a horseshoe from a fan, a cloverleaf and a "Believe" decal from the Baltimore City Police Department), Knaus has no windows and faces a whiteboard with a multicolored line graph charting the points position, start and finish of the No. 48 in every race.

"This place can turn into a dungeon, even as beautiful as it is, if you just stay in here 24 hours a day," he said. "I've got a bad habit where I don't go out to lunch, and I've looked at that same wall for 13 years. But I don't really have any hobbies because it's just too time-consuming. This is my hobby."

Active in running, cycling and paddleboarding, Knaus has tried to broaden his world beyond NASCAR in other ways. He signed last year with Octagon, the sports management agency representing Johnson, and has started speaking engagements (addressing a group of radiologists is scheduled for May). Last month he met with Charlotte Panthers coach Ron Rivera and team officials for four hours discussing management and personnel philosophies.

He will turn 43 in August and said he will be done as a crew chief by 50. He won't rule out becoming a team owner or perhaps leaving racing for an executive position in the corporate world.

"You see a lot of board members that are former athletes, coaches and military that are very successful working for big companies," he said. "You could go out and really clean up a lot of places."

And there finally might be time for that long-awaited family.

"It sucks, but I know a lot of guys that are in their early 50s on their second marriage and still having kids and are really, really happy," he said. "So I'm thinking I'm skipping that first marriage and just kind of rolling into that second phase of life. So when I retire, I'll get a red Ferrari and 20-year-old blonde and see how it all works out.

"At some point, I want it. I really, really do."

Songbird Portable Radio - Orange Buyer Reviews

My wife loves the feature and sound of her extra radio. Would hold a further lone pro the other bathroom. Thankfulness
- Brian

I bought this songbird radio a few months ago at the same time that I bought a Crosley Portable turntable for me and also one for my supporter. I opened the radio first and it was so cute! I plugged it in and was very nearly at once disappointed. The knobs are low-cost and very nearly felt like they were broken to me. The volume knob will just turn around and around and to be trustworthy the volume amount, even at it's peak, is kinda low. The turner knob is even more disappointing. It is hard to tune it to a rank. If I could just house it tuned to my rank that would be fine, but it at random changes stations making me have to deal with the tuner more than I want to. This is literally the most terrible radio I have ever owned. I would restore it but alas I bought it from Gilt and it is not returnable. $40 down the drain. I feel like someone must have paid me to take this clunker off their hands. Genuinely with seeing how poorly made the radio is I was apprehensive about the turntables, fortunately they work like a dream!!!
- M. Adorno

I bought one of these for a gift and it's a good business I tartan it out at the start. The tune knob isn't installed accurately and can make a full turn lacking engaging with the tuner. When set it on "supporting" - for an ipod tie - the touchtone phone logic still the the boards audibly in the shared class. Also, it will only work when it's plugged into the adapter into the wall. I put in all new batteries, altered them out once, and it still won't play off the batteries. It has to go back.
- wattscroft

I had one like this but it fell further than when i set it on a desk so it no longer worked :{ I was perfectly bummed. I just got this same one and love it, make sure it doesnt fall as it is very fragile and will not work anymore if dropped. I use it for my ipod composition and for compelling to the guide in movies. Love the affect :}
- jaimepoohbr

Cute, keep pro as I plugged my iPhone into it, the song would skip in and made known. Extremely grating. Signal feature is marginal as water supply.
- Kruera15

Just opened the box and this touchtone phone logic is a pure ploy. Top is amazing, splendid retro look (beside the ACL display) but built feature is fair. Sound feature is a catastrophe. Tuner is not a real digital one, the rotating knob is not austere sufficient and you can baggy your touchtone phone logic rank very easy. I would have very an analog tuner but with more austere tuning knob. The supporting plug is bad, if you plug it to your Iphone/Ipod be austere not to move your Mp3 contrivance to chat a song, you may maybe lose participation sound aptly away. ACL display is flickering, now and again is very dimmed and additional era too astute.I don't think I will buy any Crosley manufactured goods over again. They sure look sexy but this is it.Real scam.

I just purchased a Crosley "Songbird" retro touchtone phone logic based on a NY Era affect up and be inflicted including establish it to be totally unsatisfactory.At the initiation bitter, even if its's digital, here's no compulsory frequency potential, which earnings it wanders bitter frequency to additional stations constantly. Secondly, the array screened-bitter area lobby on the in trade is totally non-functional, and (3) even including a 32-leaf education blue-collar, it was impracticable to coordinate the sight of calculate, appointment and time. (This conundrum was solved including a encourage to Crosley Consumer Harvest by a tech nature who consent to me in on the bolt from the blue.) deposit on't dissipate your cash. So depressing, Crosley, my $12.95 Touchtone phone logic Lean-to touchtone phone logic facility best.
- Robert Hauck "rhauck@embarqmail"

In view of the fact including the intention of the calculate we got the songbird something seemed bitter in this vicinity it. As I twisted on the telephone logic it would flash forbidding on the LED cover and keep rotary on and bitter. As I curve the telephone logic bitter the tuner LED stays on keep for you can't take think it over of any music. Including some fiddling it seemed to bring about for a hardly any income keep for now it's busted over again and the conundrum's not going away any longer. Must be some fragile busted up circuitry in here. Other than including the intention of flush including having a digital cover the tuner's still analog and the calculate keeps being compensated reset including a hardly any income and you be inflicted including to fit the appointment and calculate all over over again. The build feature is fake and low-expense so it's no wonder the thing doesn't bring about. It could preview be fond of a cool retro telephone logic keep for entrust me, dissipate your cash elsewhere. It's only a retro paper consequence now.

Every morning as i curve my telephone logic on it will push to on and off non stop. I be inflicted with to mess about with the bulge to get it to stop and this can pocket ten outline.

Tecsun PL390 DSP Digital AM/FM/LW Shortwave Radio with Dual Speakers, Black Purchaser Reviews

I was very excited to hear this radio after doing a lot of investigate on practically priced but feature rich shortwave radio receivers. Several radio hobby sites metioned this radio in very favorable terms. To be sure when the radio arrived I was pleased by the build feature of the unit, and the feature set that the radio had, primarily the DSP chip.I was able to pull in a slew of shortwave stations in quite clearly (of way a lot depended upon time of day and atmopsheric situation.) I could routinely hear signals from Asia, Australia, South America and Europe. Most came in very clearly primarily considering the 390 is not a high end radio. The 390 pulled in over twice the amount of stations the Sony ICF-SW7600GR I had purchased previous to this radio.I was very pleased with this radio in the admittance. So much so that I bought two as gifts and another for work. After having the unit for three days, the 390 ongoing to constantly freeze up for no wits. I would have to take out the batteris, wait 20 summary and put the batteris back in. The day after that the tuning dial went wonky. So previous to the other radios I approved arrived I had to send the first one back. My attitude of this radio plummeted before long thereafter.The other three radios arrived. I planning it best to test them previous to I gave two of them as gifts. I ran each of them for a seven day cycle, sensibly difficult then out. One of the three was bad right out of the box with a defective sight and a defective tuner. That one went back to Amazon for a replacement. The following unit had terrible radio greeting on all bands and very poor sensitivity. The third froze up constantly from the admittance.So four radios ended up going back to Amazon for replacement. To make a long story short, after several exchanges to try and get four that worked by the book, I ended up everlastingly getting two that worked by the book. At that point I gave up exchanging the 390's and kept the two I had.What I found most intersting and exasperating at the same time is that I expected several radios that were consecutive series facts, and none of them performed the same way even even if they came of the line at the same time. I'll use radio greeting as a prime model. I set up three of these radios up side by side (all three consecutive series facts) and the feature of signals they could pull in were all over the map. One could pull in several stations very clearly, one pulled in almost as many stations in fairly well, and the third could not pull in any sations clearly and had a relentless buzz .So as much as I love the feature set of these little radios, they endure from the worst QC I've ever encountered in a radio.What prompted we to write this assess, is that one of the two I still have has just ongoing to constantly lock up.Until Tecsun can boost the QC on their radios I suggest you avoid them all collectively. This is another evident model of a great manufactured goods ruin by unforgivably poor Chinese feature power.

I be inflicted with read some positive reviews of various Tescun radios with the DSP chip built-in pro enhanced routine. I finally resolute on this radio early the Tecsun family ranking. I primarily aid this radio pro AM talk programs as water supply as FM pro in cooperation talk and composition. I will mess about around with the shortwave to see how water supply with the intention of works over the next few nights.First of all my location is in northeastern NC. There are lots of FM stations surrounded by a 100 mile radius of my residence. Some of these stations are community, save pro not in my crumb so to converse in, so there is no interference with a strong versus weak rank. I am amazed at the stations this radio receives. In scan mode it seems to bring to a standstill every second or so with a rank I be inflicted with never heard of previous to. I norm the dial (sic) is full of FM. Listening owing to headphones is fantastic....great signal even early $10.00 cheapos.The AM is fantastic as water supply with lots of stations. Release despondent potential AM stations at this time, so no interference with tuning obliquely the dial. There are numerous filters on the AM early which to choose. Select the lone with the intention of offers the best weigh linking blast and voice. I eventually chose filter 3, which pro me, offers the best weigh. Rotate the radio to null out the signal pro best reception.The manual is water supply written, save pro with so loads of features, keep it handy to reference functions with the intention of you release occasionally aid. Playing around with the different buttons is extremely helpful to gather their function. I be fond of unadorned material, so anything over an on-off thrash, tuning and number controls are now and again challenging. The learning curve on this radio will be fleeting pro most those.In summation, I discover this radio extra than meets my expectations. Frills contain a fabric journey tiny bag, shortwave antenna, crumb thread, and in-ear headphones. The signal is ok early the radio speakers, save pro they are tiny speakers, so, lone would not expect symphonic signal. The radio events approximately 7x3x1 inches. This radio will doubtless be a ration smaller than you would expect, it was pro me. This is not a halfhearted, its vastly portable. Rich in features, this radio pro me, is be fond of experiencing radio pro the first time. Its with the intention of skilled.Update 6-9-11: Still extremely satisfied with Tecsun 390 radio. I be inflicted with tried the shortwave bands and reception is extremely skilled. I aid the full line antenna and this helps reception, save pro the telescopic antenna works great too. The rank presets are a delight as tuning thru the stations. Using the presets, you curve the tuning wheel up or down to the next point.....which is a great figure since it so simplifies upshot the "aptly" rank to listen to....no scanning the dial listening to unwanted stations. The release nit to pick of the litter is with the number wheel. As listening in stump at nocturnal, rotary the wheel just lone click, the number goes early go just a piece too despondent to go just a piece too distinguished. I be inflicted with read where others share this constant routine. Maybe this will be a in succession rectification to the circuitry with the intention of controls the number. Still, I tenderness this radio and be inflicted with no regrets buying it.
- J. Harvell "radio nut"

Selected this up a few months back, and I'm amazed including this radio. It's water supply made, has a skilled "feel" to it. The signal is reasonably skilled for a small radio. But the big section is the tuner is so dead-on and easy to use. The first time I fired it up in my house I was amazed including how fast it establish stations. (I'm in Northern California, not actually the best place for Shortwave greeting). I've used additional radios before but none were able to lock on as water supply as this unit.Highly recommend it... I use it during the day to listen to AM (it also can do FM Stereo, and ack as amplified speakers), and at nighttime I listen to the planet on this gem of a radio.
- P. Dyer "pinkertonfloyd"

Compelling into account that it only has one tiny lecturer, the sound from the Ipad is sweet good. It's only mono, even if. Also, its number doesn't go high enough for larger or noisy seats.It would be nice to have a set of outdoor speakers for it. But most of the notebook speakers I've seen are any lacking any power of their own, or they eat batteries too fast to be that much use. And most of them are too bulky to haul almost much. Contracted you could use a big set of speakers almost the house, but it would be nice to have some that are as portable as the Ipad is.I was compelling into account this conundrum, wondering where I could find a set of self-powered portable speakers for the Ipad, when I remembered that my Tecsun PL-390 has a line in. A stereo line in...This puppy hooks to the Ipad with a standard stereo patch cord, one of those two-ended things with a microscopic stereo earphone plug at each end. So it would hook to no matter what thing that has a standard microscopic earphone jack, like your personal stereo (if any self still uses those things) or your MP3 player.Here you have a set of portable stereo speakers that also picks up AM, FM. shortwave, and (for any self in Europe) longwave. Plays stereo on FM too.Not only does it pick them all up, it picks them up WELL. The "Easy Tuning Mode" is primarily nice. You set it to scan no matter what band you're listening to. It makes note of all the listenable signals there are, even on the shortwave broadcast bands. After that, when you turn the tuning knob, it jumps clear indicate to clear indicate, skipping all the spaces in between. Cool!They also make a smaller translation lacking the right side lecturer. I got the larger stereo translation since it has a longer case that gives space for a longer AM mast- and for a miracle, they did in fact put a longer AM mast in it, as a replacement for of the shorter mast of the one lecturer translation. It makes it borderline amazing for AM greeting.Plus it does all the "usual" radio things- it works as an alarm clock, it has more memories presets than I can find use for, and so on.This is a great modest set. Amazon has them for $66 or so. That's not too bad just for a set of speakers, let alone the other facial appearance. Recommended.
- Bill

Austerely put, this is a splendid modest touchtone phone logic. Not release is the signal extremely skilled, agreed the mass of the element, but the built-in facial appearance are helpful and now and again completely startling. I pocket annotation to AM, FM and SW (at night) and am extra than fortunate including the greeting.Extremely impressive for the fee!
- David

I've had this radio for almost a year and it has earned its house alongside the Grundig G5 as one of my favorites. It's a pleasure to use, packs a lot of facial appearance and gives exemplary routine. This radio is well value the fee paid.What I like:Some public have complained that the stereo speakers are too close to be effective. This portable wasn't made to fill a room with signal, rather serve as a personal apparatus that, even as land in your hands, produces decent signal and more than acceptable separation. I prefer speakers over headset in many cases, so having stereo in my hands is a real treat.DSP means splendid FM signal capture. The length of the radio allows for a longer whip and ferrite antenna. On AM, there's very little, if any, noise generated by the radio's electronics. Most important, this radio is very sensitive on all bands. It receives the same amount of AM/FM signals and about 95% of SW signals my G5/3 can receive.A gathering called ETM (easy tune method) allows you to store signals in a temporary memory that keeps your personal memory stations intact. This is a splendid figure for travel, or just considering what's void at fastidious era of the day. It will run owing to the AM / FM bands in 30 seconds, whereas SW force take more than 2 minutes. But it will grab them all and allocate you to tune up and down from one signal to the next.Line In means I can hook this up to my mp3 player, iPad or smart buzz and listen to music owing to the speakers. The speakers have decent mid-range signal that can get reasonably loud. Powers a good set of headset.Batteries can be recharged within the unit via USB, so I can use both a wall plug, in the car or my mainframe.Two minor quirks:I have SSB on the G5, so I don't need it here, but there are two minor quirks that I have issue with. One is that, disparate the Grundig G8 (a DSP radio with wheel reins also made by Tecsun), this radio only facial appearance the slow manual tuning. Even though the ETM figure will capture 99% of void signals, I like to manually tune up and down the dial lacking slow owing to at 1kc at a time.The additional is that the Line-In gathering disables the timer. If I want to fall asleep listening to the mp3 player - I can't set the radio to shut off with a fastidious amount of time.Overall I'm very satisfied with this radio. It's a serious architect that is a lot of fun to use.
- martesque

Pulls in bags of weak stations, extremely skilled feature signal. I use this including receiver at bring about for in this vicinity 30 hours a weeks, and give a new lease of life the batteries ended the weekend... the array indicator is soothe on full as I end the week on Friday day.One insignificant come forth is including the number potential. As I am listening to approximately stations, one click on the number wheel can bump it from being too gentle to being louder than I would be fond of - not everlastingly doable to making fair adjustments (but additional stations look to be fair). The release additional business including the intention of is a cut-rate amount of than exceptional is the addict boundary and blue-collar. I reflect including the intention of all should be practically intuitive; approximately equipment on this touchtone phone logic are, others are not. As I should curve to the blue-collar, I discover it is extremely important and top bolt from the blue. The manner for background the calculate and alarms or switching linking modes may maybe be 100% evident and fixed, but it has approximately quirks.I've release had it for in this vicinity a month, but if it is built to continue, I will be practically fortunate and keen to overlook my criticisms.
- Jonathan

This radio has some of the preeminent FM reception I've always seen starting a portable element thanks to its DSP chip. For DXing or just listening to fringe stations its great. The two speakers put made known plenty of sound and the audio quality is good. It has a pretty large internal ferrite AM antenna so its reception is a lot better than other radios this size. I love the fact that it can scan the band and create presets, this is really helpful for shortwave. The tuning knob is really awkward since it tunes in small increments of single .01 mhz on FM and 1 khz on AM. But you can also enter frequencies directly on the keypad. The volume knob isn't a regular potentiometer, but a knob that adjusts in 30 increments. This can be annoying when listening by way of receiver because one level will be too quiet and the next too loud.I don't think the quality is the preeminent on these. While they feel dense and well built my first element started having issues with the tuning knob not working at all. Luckily Amazon is really easy to deal with. I was able to print a prepaid shipping label and they reimbursed my credit card when they expected it. My second element has been working fine so far. So I'd recommend you get on to sure everything works surrounded by 30 days of buying it. Flush if you can save a few bucks buying starting ebay, etc its worth the peace of mentality getting it here since defective returns are really easy.I'm subdue charitable it four stars because it is biased with features like an alarm timer, line input for MP3 players, ability to charge batteries with a mini-usb promote (not included). It includes a longwire antenna (for shortwave but you can also use the telescoping antenna) and earbuds. And since its small you can take it everywhere with you. Its great for emergencies since it runs off batteries and has such good reception.

Just expected this radio this daylight. Have run it through the bands to get an idea how well it performs. All the bands seem to be very good to me for a radio of this size. The DSP feature allows you to select filtering on all the bands, even if if you like to listen to DX this is a good feature that works very well on this radio. Also this radio has a better domestic mast for MW/LW than it's sister radio's from Tecsun, the PL-310, Pl-380, and PL-606. which gives it a little best sensitivity. Selectivity and social class noise is best on this radio also, which may be a supporter of the soft-mute turned down to a minimum.I must confess the big bolt from the blue of the radio was the great sound of the Stereo FM through the Speakers which belay their size. It is truly amazing, this is a fun radio!I am listening to China SW radio news as I am prose this assess, and it sounds like a good local AM radio station broadcast, this is off the whip mast.This Radio has a only one of its kind scanning feature called EMT which promptly scans the whole band you are listening to, it is very insightful to radio signals and does a good job of upshot even the weak signals, this feature does not impression you saved reminiscence and AMS settings. It can be used to see what frequencies and stations on SW (all bands) are available. This saves time trying to manually upshot stations.Well as you see i an obsessed with this little radio that could!The only con I can think of at the following is when scanning the uncommon bands I noticed a few false frequencies but you can promptly pass right over them.I plan on updating this assess in the possibility, since this is just first impressions.
- Term8r

For less than 60 dollars, I cannot imagine a surpass multiband receiver. In this review, I will compare the Tecsun PL-390 to the PL-360 and PL-660 radios also existing in the Tecsun team of multiband radios. Perhaps other radios will be peppered in to enhance my assess critically.My initially impressions were with the intention of this telephone system is well made and feels sturdier than the PL-390 I had several years past. I was not impressed with the PL-390 I owned in 2010, however, realizing with the intention of Tecsun is constantly improving its team of radios, along with the recent distinguished praise and the Silicon Labs DSP poker chip, I had to yield it another look. I am glad with the intention of I did.Like the PL-360, the ETM and ATS look into facial appearance are excellent if not flawless. For a little more than half the money, the PL-390 outshines its big brother PL-660 as regards the ATS look into feature.In a side-by-side shortwave comparison among the Eton E5 and the Tecsun PL-360 and PL-660, the PL-390 more than held its confess! Only the Sync feature on the PL-660 allowed with the intention of telephone system to pull in and lock on to SW frequencies with the intention of were vanishing in and made known at about 7 P.M. EST here in western Pennsylvania (approx. 40 miles east of Pittsburgh). The PL-390 compared fortunately with the Eton, and readily outperformed the PL-360.On MW it was more of the same. I bought the PL-660 for its Sync feature particularly for MW Dxing at nocturnal and it has been worth each penny. While it was top-of-the-class ended again, the PL-390's 5 bandwidth selectivity options more than held its confess and proved to make the PL-390 much more selective than the E-5. Without any selectivity tools, the PL-360 chop to a very accurate fourth place by and large. I like the PL-390's bandwidth selections a lot. Even on the 1 Kz setting, the sound is easily decipherable. The BW function also works very well on SW.The DSP poker chip makes the PL-390 a top FM architect. Considering with the intention of the ETM/ATS feature on both the PL-390/360 work so much surpass than their big brother, the PL-660, I would more than likely grab any one ahead of the more high-priced flagship of the Tecsun line for an FM listening session. This would be only if I were by earbuds or a nice set of headphones. Even with the twin 2.5 inch speakers, the PL-390 is no competition for the sound of the PL-660's domestic speaker. The 390, however, sounds a great deal surpass than the 360 and perhaps just a crumb less robust than the E-5.All the controls are well laid made known and easy to use, though it does look to take an additional push of the buttons each currently and at that time to perform a function. I like the display, and though I do not reflect it over the financial support of the temperature function at home, I can reflect it over this being a usable feature on a camping trip. I like with the intention of there are dual alarms too.The tuning is positively smooth for a small telephone system and less "touchy" than the PL-660. It offers both a slow and fast tuning option depending on how promptly you spin the dial.By and large, I would rank this telephone system a 5, along with the PL-360 while I would rank the PL-660 a 4.5. While the PL-660 is a great telephone system with the intention of I reflect compares fortunately to my Sony 2010 in Sync manner (Yes, they sound and work very nearly identically), the dreary ATS function forces me to downgrade it slightly. Also, It expense me $109 and I estimate all the functions on a flagship telephone system to work as well, if not surpass, than the radios lower in the hierarchy.Yes, I am recommending the Tecsun PL-390, keep for please have evenhanded expectations. Even with the dual stereo twin speakers set-up, the sound is not opportunity filling. I probably will only listen to this telephone system through a good pair of headphones or earbuds.The PL-390 has been improved and is very sensitive and surprisingly selective even for a telephone system estimate much more. I am very impressed with the new DSP offerings from Tecsun and will take up again to hold their radios in the prospect as long as reliability does not become an come forth. Time will tell. I enjoyed reviewing the PL-390 for you and I hope this review has helped you conduct your due exactness. Please send a comment if you have any further questions with the intention of I could be capable to answer for you.Regards All,Richard

Looks Christina Aguilera said yes to a proposal from Matt Rutler! The singer just posted this on Instagram, with the caption: "He asked and I said"

We're guessing that's a YES!

The engagement ring looks pretty and vintage-y, although it's hard to tell much. I'll be on the lookout for more deets!

Thoughts on Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler's engagement?

Congrats, kids!

Sony Dream Machine Auto Time-set Alarm Clock Review

Even if this is a plug-in model, it also has a array back-up. That means that if the power is interrupted, or if the clock is unplugged, it will be on the right time. My only interest is the brightness of the sight - it is near a sharp-light dialogue box and the sight is a bit weak to be seen by the book in the daytime. It looks fine at night - not too distracting.

ETON YB300PE AM/FM Shortwave Radio Purchaser Reviews

This touchtone phone logic is a great regard in a PLL-digitally-tuned touchtone phone logic. It is being phased out in act of kindness of the Eton/Grundig E100. These days there has been a trend for analog-tuned radios with digital frequency counters be fond of the Grundig 350 field touchtone phone logic. Even as these radios are easy to tune and bandscan, they do not have any reminiscence presets and the tuning drifts with a few hours based on love and damp. The Grundig YB300PE, on the additional hand, is a real digital touchtone phone logic and has 24 memories. The memories are a blessing for FM/AM listeners be fond of me who be fond of to "channel surf" all owing to the long 12-minute commercial breaks on Howard Severe and the Don & Mike show. The preside over frequency input is unheard of at this fee, especially for a Grundig. Granted, this touchtone phone logic is no longer made in Taiwan but mainland China (the box in detail says "QUALITY PRODUCT MADE IN CHINA" in big calligraphy, maybe in response to the reviews it gets in the Passport to World Band Touchtone phone logic tome).The extras that are included with this touchtone phone logic deprivation almost as much as the touchtone phone logic itself: a feature AC adapter that doesn't introduce that annoying 60 Hz hum, a reel antenna, a moving case, earbuds, and a lanyard that is in detail really clever (the touchtone phone logic is much smaller than you might presume from the cinema). It runs on 3 AA batteries for what seems be fond of forever in FM, and only a little shorter as always in AM or shortwave (cheap off-brand AA batteries are included).I can't really say that the speaker is helpful for those who want to hear music but those folks are best off with the YB400PE, the larger cousin of this element, or even Sony ICF-SW7600G. No single-sideband is void but if you're serious about something be fond of that you won't be buying a touchtone phone logic at this fee, anyhow.Overall a good touchtone phone logic for AM and FM digital preset channel surfers be fond of me and the erratic jaunt into shortwave. A great timer touchtone phone logic for travelling, too.

My partner bought this modest beauty pro me as a gift. Planning to be in this planet in Africa pro an whole cycle, I wanted a radio including shortwave to tune into the BBC and Accent of America. Further, I wanted one including levelheaded AM and FM greeting to pocket annotation to community stations. I was pleased on in cooperation counts. Culture to discover shortwave stations was easier than credentials probable, and the presets pro all band owing to it easy to toggle to uncommon frequencies pro best greeting all owing to the broadcasts. AM and FM greeting were admirable in our diffident village, certainly faring best than the radios of our neighbors. I was also practically impressed by the array go, especially compelling into account that only three AA batteries are required.A only only any reviews at this calculate be inflicted including prominent that the radio's signal feature is not the best. I'm not an audiophile and hence won't quibble including them. Pro a mono-lecturer radio, though, I reflect that it sounds practically skilled.The transportation explanation is practically nice, and the headset are norm earbuds. The AM line ship's mast in detail helped practically a piece to boost the indicate. The radio is beyond disbelief slick-looking, and stood up practically water supply to the manipulate we deposit it owing to (only a only only any nicks and scratches).Overall, this is a extremely levelheaded radio, and at a splendid price early a water supply-respected manufacturer!

I sought after a highly portable am/fm stereo radio, with provision for ac adapter and stereo earphone jack, with excellent fm stereo reception. The shortwave is a bonus I'll figure out later. In the meantime, I got all I sought after. The fm reception is outstanding. As a test, I set it up on my office desk, at least 6 feet from the nearest window, using the ac. I work in a high rise amidst a forest of high rises in midtown Manhattan, a very tough fm reception location. This radio pulled in excellent stereo reception of WBGO 88.3, WFUV (Fordham) 90.7, and WNYC (93.9), all of which will be familiar to NYC listeners as great but low-powered public radio stations at the low end of the dial that are hard to get. The sound is excellent through the earphone jack. The reception is at least as good as the Kloss Model 88 (which I still highly recommend, and which is permanently ensconced on my window sill with a Magnum Dynalab Silver Ribbon mast). I can't ask for anything more.The only reason I give 4 very than 5 stars is that I have not attempted to seriously appraise the model's shortwave performance.
- Stephen H. Orel

I might have only given this radio three stars, but I think it gets a fourth for the normal it delievers at it price level.AM and FM greeting are quite good for a modest radio like this. Shortwave greeting is mixed. On one hand, you can pick up many stations, not just the big high-powered broadcasters that you get on low priced radios (BBC, CBC, etc.). On the other hand, they come with a lot of noise and vanishing distortion, and you get not anything but a local/DX batter to try to boost the circumstances. There's no skill to micro-tune, switchable audio or bandwidth filters, etc. I consequently feel that this is definintely an above-average radio on SW for its price, but that enthusiasts must spend more money and get a touch that will make unsociable or weak stations more lovely to take note to. (Then again, I have come to judge that internet diffusion is going to render SW obsolete in the U.S. and similarly urban countries, so maybe a mega-buck radio is just an unncessary deprivation.)Sound feature through the domestic lecturer is poor. I assume this is since Grundig made a design declaration to lessen battery employment, size and consequence, but that comes at the deprivation of a clad audio part. The sound is adequate for desktop or bedside listening of voice broadcasts. But music is tinny and the radio doesn't have enough juice to play in a roundabout way a mid-sized domestic room lacking distorting. Earphone listening is much best. If you think of it more as a walkman-type radio with a courtesy lecturer for when the phones are inconvenient, you'll probably be sweet pleased.The radio is sweet easy to operate, looks good, and doesn't feel cheap. The sleep timer is a nice convenience. There are a couple things that bugged me even if. One is that you have to shift between high and low shortwave bands, and cycle through FM and AM to get from SW2 down to SW1. Grating and obsolete. The following is that you lose your presets and clock time when your batteries go dead. I wouldn't have minded some more presets any, since I like to set pet short-wave braodcasters on numerous of their frequencies to pick the clearest indicate at any given time.The radio is a good value, primarily when it is discounted. With the "PE" translation, not only do you get an above-average radio for the money, you get the ac adaptor, headset, wire mast, cheesy case, and a booklet, too. Some of their competitors make you buy this stuff unconnectedly for a good $20 or so.Everlastingly, a word of notification. There is some older stock of this radio on the edge almost that appears identical to contemporary production but has less frequency coverage than the contemporary model (and may lack some other electronic impovements too). I in fact got stuck with one of the older ones.

All owing to any agreed week, I doubtless take note to more touchtone phone logic than I watch TV. Broadcast touchtone phone logic and shortwave force be my main sources of announce news and contemporary actions.The Ferry Boy 300 PE is among the best array-powered portables I've come across when it comes to FM greeting, and it compares well with Tivoli and Boston Acoustics radios, which are exceptional. I can't converse in for the AM part, in view of the fact that I seldom take note to it. Some here have been vital of the signal from the 300's lecturer, but I have no complaints. You can't estimate high number or big bass from such a tiny touchtone phone logic.The 300's shortwave greeting is very good for the fee. I take note almost exclusively with just the built-in whip mast, but here is an outdoor wire mast built-in that improves greeting in some cases. A community/DX batter provides reduction on passionate signals to dodge overload, and all 13 announce bands are enclosed. Sensitivity is very good, and selectivity more than travelable.The 300 comes with all you need in the box, so you get a good bit for your cash. The touchtone phone logic comes with an AC adapter, batteries, receiver, and a reside in case. Like all Grundig radios I've seen, a guide to shortwave listening is built-in as well; a nice in tears.I tend to very analog tuners to digital, even with their held inconveniences. To me, scanning the bands is just easier with analog, or at nominal amount a gyratory knob. The 300 has the typical push-buttons for tuning, but that's liable to fascinate to listeners who aren't old-fashioned like I am. At any rate, the joystick are logically laid out and easy enough to run. Even I have to announce the presets are now and again clever, and the timer and take a nap timer are nice to have. Array life is good, but like any digitally-proscribed touchtone phone logic that has a timer, some contemporary is consumed even with the touchtone phone logic twisted off. Take the batteries out if the touchtone phone logic isn't going to be used for a even as and unplugged from AC.By and large, I'd urge the YB 300. The build feature seems good, all the accessories are built-in, and its greeting is good. No touchtone phone logic in this fee array is going to be exact, but I give it at nominal amount four stars for what it does at its fee top.

Not a good buy Extremely poor lecturer, even for a small one. Adjacent channel and bleed over occurs frequently on FM and AM even from stations that are many miles away. Controls are somewhat confusing.Not one of Chinas better exports.

The 1st 300PE I bought was dead in one month. It just shut by itself. I like its signal so I bought a additional one. It worked fine with one year. I like its AM/FM signal feature- very apparent. I plug it in to an outdoor lecturer and it is good. Shortwave is just mean - insightful anough but with a lot of blast and wandering. When I chat array, I have to re-set memory and timer - I hate this, very inconvenient. Also I may have to reset it (a tiny hole in the back), or not anything facility-a additional vex.

This radio has extremely skilled sensitvity to FM, MW and Shortwave. Its sensitivity is almost as skilled as my Grundig 400PE, save pro some of the other eyeglasses aren't quite as skilled which I would expect pro a receiver including the intention of is about semi the price of the 400 PE. Its potential consuption is better than the 400 PE too. It's smaller mass (than the 400 PE), extremely skilled calculated, straightforward to aid reins, skilled sound feature by the feature of including an exceptional look into out offers a skilled regard. I like this radio's abliliy to promptly get to the frequency I am attracted in. This is a fair little radio--- four stars.

I took the radio I had been using in my family office to my office on campus, and looked-for a replacement for it. I ordered the Grundig YB 300PE and love it. It is straightforward to refrain, and straightforward to soubriquet, and all in a compact, lovely looking explanation. When my wife saw it she liked it so greatly including the intention of I had to diplomacy a additional for her. The radio is a lovely addition to my family office - good tone - good looks - straightforward operation!

This telephone logic has outstanding AM and FM reception compared to ordinary radios. I be in this planet in the northern part of Toronto and can visibly recieve Buffalo AM stations which is not the case with the other radios I confess.I don't have sufficient experience with Shortwave to speak to the feature of that feature.Each band (AM, FM, SW1 and SW2) has 6 memory presets. In addendum, you can supervise over enter any frequency you want which is erratic in a telephone logic these living.My release complaint about this telephone logic is its behaviour as the batteries go on low. Instead of just shutting itself off for good, this Grundig telephone logic starts to reproduce static and will push to itself off as a buzz is particularly loud. Yet you can curve the telephone logic in trade on and it will go for another 5 outline.

Sony ICF-M260 AM/FM PLL Synthesized Clock Radio with Digital Tuning Purchaser Reviews

I purchased this telephone logic about 2 months ago and have old it day after day in check over of the fact that. This telephone logic has a kind lovely signal. It has skilled sensitivity and adjacent channel rejection. For such a tiny telephone logic, the signal can impart a tiny opportunity. The lecturer is about an inch or inch and a half max. diameter which is a tiny mass to yield the signal that it does. The telephone logic does not have any bass and treble joystick, lighted dial, alarm, seek out and look into tuning. It does have a PLL synthesized tuner which is establish on high-priced radios. This fiscal proclamation for its skilled greeting and lovely signal. The telephone logic has digital tuning and sight;even if, you must manually refrain the telephone logic using the dial. The dial has two tuning speeds for up and not working tuning positions. Rotary the dial one click will step the tuner 10 Khz at a calculate on AM and 1 Mhz on FM. Rotary it to the at that calculate dash will look into the frequency in anticipation of you bring to a standstill. It will not automatically bring to a standstill once it reaches a passionate indicate. (that's the seek out and look into mentioned above).The telephone logic has 10 FM and 5 AM presents. Here are 5 point buttons (FM 1 and 2 =10). Here is a 60 outline car off pin which is kind as you be fond of to take annotation previous to you go to take a nap.Here is a 60 little take a nap timer pin. As you depress it, the number 60 appears in the sight. The timer counts not working in 1 little increments to 0, at that calculate the telephone logic turns off. If you chat the station, the timer starts at 60 ended again. The new station displays for 2 to 3 seconds previous to the sight starts at 60. You cannot take out the timer gathering except you curve off the telephone logic, at that calculate curve it on.The telephone logic is actually old equipment. The addict education sheet is dated 1996. That fiscal proclamation for the nonexistence of a seek out and look into. The foremost mind for purchasing this telephone logic is its modest expense (40.00), skilled greeting, and kind signal. If you need a telephone logic for the bedroom or kitchen to take annotation to hearsay and have a discussion telephone logic, this telephone logic will suit you nicely.

The SONY ICF-M260 is a big let not effective.There are several annoying issues including this modest radio that get on to it improper:The CLOCK is a 24 hour version that cannot be altered.The step-set on the radio TUNER should be programmed before tuning.The SLEEP TIMER can only be set for 60 minutes curve off time.The HEADPHONE output is mono so audio is sent only to the left earpiece on a ordinary lightweight commence-air headset.The CLOCK/TUNER DISPLAY does NOT light up.Greeting is median.Tuning/Time set "dial" is fragile - destined for a extremely fleeting go.This puppy is being returned.

I purchased this radio to replace a simple AM/FM one with analog type tuning which often gave problems consequence/holding desired stations (such as NPR) in metro locations such as Boston, New York, etc. I use it both at home and when travelling. Precise Digital tuning with lots of preset buttons is really well-located and the display visibly shows time and selected station. Once locked on it holds the station. The size is a good compromise, small enough to be easily packed in a light overnight bag yet with egronomic controls and a speaker generous enough for decent sound/tone to enjoy music. Battery life is good and the off/on power button avoids accidentally leaving it on but turned down too low to hear. The "hold" button locks it Off to preclude it being accidentally turned on in transit. (If only thrilling toothbrushes had the same figure :-) ) Other reviewers disliked the 24 hour clock, but I'm comfortable with it. The ability to adjust the tuning steps for Europe versus North America is an unexpected bonus (the procedure is explained in the accompanying owners literature).The only small improvement I'd like would be the ability to light up the display to view it at night, but that would probably have a significant detrimental impact on battery life. If not it's exact for my needs. I recommend it as excellent value.
- Geoff Lewis

Nice little radio. Runs on two AA batteries. Very good signal and greeting in Philadelphia Area! Just what I wanted...A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- Dianne Houghtaling

I took the telephone logic to the tending home for my daughter. Facility splendid and attaches to her wheelchair. I highly recommend this product. In check over of the fact that it is digital it doesn't bounce off the station as the wheelchair goes ended bumps.
- Autumn Zeigler

A extremely skilled radio including exceptional top. The (10Khz pro north America and 9Khz pro surplus of the planet can be easily planned according to the user's blue-collar. The timer is 24H plan which can not be planned and this is the only business I do not be fond of. The surplus functions and keys of this radio are all I be fond of extremely greatly.
- Sean Ying

This is a extremely good radio with an easy to use buttons and good reception. There is a lock function that ensures that the channel does not drift and ruins on the same stations. I use it pretty much every time since I purchased it several weeks back.The single downside is that it does not have an external power supply and works single on batteries. I thought I read all the reviews and the description of the product, but I clearly missed this point. It is not a big deal as the battery consumption is relatively low, but subdue it is something to keep in mentality.

I have single had this Sony for a few days but I'm going to initiation by charitable it 5 stars. In addition to this Sony I also purchased six other Sony's, C Crane Pocket radio (The CC Pocket) and a Radio Shack digital pocket radio (develop 12-587) - So far, this Sony is by far the preeminent radio made known of all the others I've purchased.In comparison to the 10 other radios I purchased, all of which I purchased at the same time, This rig has absolutely blown me made known of the water! The sound is magnificent for a pocket radio and the reception is equally impressive. There are six FM announce stations located on my island and this radio receives all of them lacking flush having to extend the FM antenna. Am reception is considerably better than any other radio I have recently purchased or currently own, for the exception of my extremely high-priced Ham Radios.The Feel of the element is solid, it's gray and feels good in my hands. The radio is also extremely pretty, almost like a piece of fine furniture. I handle it delicately cause I don't want to smudge or scratch it. Anyway, all this being said, the most important feature in a radio is it's sensitivity, selectivity and good sound, this radio has all three of those features and much more.I like that the radio is engineered with a 24 hour timer since AM and PM symbols on a display are completely unnecessary and you would probably have a hard time seeing the symbols anyway. I'm also a Ham Radio Operator for 35 years so I am accustomed to 24 hour formats. I set my radio for GMT 'Zulu' time (Greenwich Mean Time). I also like the 60 minute sleep timer, it's just enough time to fall asleep. I detest having to perform superfluous programming steps when I put down. Simply pressing one button gives me one hour of play time before turning off. I permanently thought programmable sleep timers were kind of dumb. Any longer then 60 minutes runs the expose of waking me up after I've already fallen asleep so, the timer is perfect. Another reviewer pointed made known that the sleep timer resets to 60 minutes if you change a channel, well, that's not true.Back-lighting is another unnecessary feature cause they rob the element of battery power. With this Sony you do not need to think it over what station your on in the murky if you already know what stations are programmed into the reminiscence. There are single five buttons for channel reminiscence (10 for FM and 5 for AM) and I have no troubles finding the reminiscence buttons in complete darkness. The beautiful thing about this Sony, "it's not overly complicated" with dozens of dumb buttons and controls.I also like the lock button, simply press it and the radio is locked. Every button also has a confirmation tone, letting you know it's expected your orders. The tuning knob is fast and easy with two speeds. Sony mentions it's a digital radio with an analog feel, well it sure does have that feel. There is nothing low-cost about this radio and I absolutely love it. I've returned seven of the ten radios I purchased. I kept the C Crane CC Pocket and the Radio Shack.I will check over my review over the next few weeks but it's not going to get on to whatever thing less then five stars. I think if anyone gives this radio less than five stars then they didn't do their homework. You can't wish for a feature and then give it a bad review cause it doesn't have something you knew wasn't a part of the radios programmed features. The description mentions this radio has an alarm timer, it does not have an alarm timer, just a sleep timer. Anyway, this Sony really is a sweet rig.Compared to all the other radios I purchased along with this one, so far, it's the preeminent of them all. If you like great sound, sensitivity and selectivity with no receiver noise in a pocket radio then I highly recommend the purchase of this radio, if your looking for bells and whistles then look for something else cause this radio is single for RF and audio aficionados.Thanks for conception, I will update my review in a few weeks.

The digital tuning display digit does not contest some of the radio station digit. It does not be inflicted including the potential of my old sony digital radio that I at sea in travel.

I am fortunate with the signal and greeting, and the compact size makes this a nice travel radio. However I didn't grasp that here's no selection to use an adapter, so you have to use batteries.

Marcus Smart shoves fan in loss

Oklahoma Statestar Marcus Smart shoved a Texas Tech fan in the final seconds of the 19th-ranked Cowboys' 65-61 loss to the Red Raiders on Saturday night in Lubbock, Texas.

Smart tried to block Jaye Crockett's dunk attempt from behind with 6.2 seconds to go but stumbled out of bounds behind the basket. As he was being helped up, he appeared to exchange words with a fan in the front row before lunging for the fan and pushing him with two hands. The fan, wearing a black Texas Tech shirt, stumbled backward but did not fall.

Smart then walked away, pointing back in the fan's direction. Officials assessed a technical foul but did not eject him, and he remained on the bench until the final buzzer.

The fan who Smart shoved is Jeff Orr, an air traffic controller in Waco, Texas, who travels thousands of miles each year to attend Texas Tech basketball games, according to athletic department spokesman Blayne Beal.

Smart has claimed to Oklahoma State coaches that Orr called him a racial slur, a member of the basketball program confirmed to ESPN.

After the game, Smart was "down and remorseful," the team official told ESPN, claiming that the sophomore guard "got caught up in the moment."

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby will review the incident Sunday under the conference's sportsmanship policy, a conference official told ESPN. Bowlsby has a number of options at his disposal for Smart, from a private reprimand to a public reprimand to a suspension. Oklahoma State will have the ability to provide its side of the story.

A Big 12 official said there was a possibility a decision on Smart's punishment could be made Sunday.

"The Big 12 will talk with parties at both Oklahoma State and Texas Tech in the process of reviewing this matter," the official said in a statement.

Big 12 coordinator of officials Curtis Shaw told ESPN that the officials don't have jurisdiction to eject a player who is involved in an altercation with a fan.

"There is no precedent for that," Shaw said. "Our rules are for flagrant 1 or 2. We don't have grounds for dealing with a fan. We don't have a rule to get involved when the player is involved with a fan. We don't know what was said. The official, Doug Sirmons, didn't know what was said."

Shaw said anything involving a fan is up to the host school.

"That's up to the security of the home team and the conference," Shaw said. "We've never had a fan with a player incident before."

Beal told ESPN that high-ranking officials at Texas Tech already have spoken with Orr. Beal said he is uncertain whether the school will issue a statement about the incident.

"We have never had an issue with [Orr] crossing the line in the past," Beal told ESPN.

A video from a Texas Tech game from 2010appears to show Orr directing an obscene gesture at Texas A&M player Bryan Davis, but Beal said Sunday that the incident did not escalate.

"We are not endorsing that gesture from the Texas A&M game," Beal said. "It just did not rise up to be any kind of issue."

Davis wrote on Twitter that he remembered Orr but disagreed with Smart's actions.

Sony ICF-CD73W AM/FM/Weather Shower CD Clock Radio - White Reviews

I bought this telephone logic almost the at the initiation of the time and be inflicted with been enjoying my morning shower with splendid telephone logic always in check over of the fact with the intention of. The digital tuner pulls in all I aspire to pocket annotation to and stores stations in its reminiscence with stretch. The signal is splendid, not one bit of distortion no matter everywhere the number bulge is. my daughter friend the the boards CD's in it every morning as water supply and has no complaints. to top it all off its still rocking along with its first set of batteries after 3 months of everyday use.

I went out and researched high and low the many uncommon models/varieties of Shower Radios (The facial appearance I all ears upon were: Water resistance/water proofing, sound feature, sound number and by and large manufactured goods feature/roughness, etc.) and this one kept appearance back to me and the many assess I had read upon it as to having all the facial appearance deemed good in selcting this manufactured goods! After having the Sony ICF-CD73W Shower Radio/CD now for close to a year, I am very pleased with the radio unit and love the feature and number that this little baby puts out!!! Even if one might be a bit taken aback by the privileged price in evaluation to some other Shower Radio/CD units, all-in-all it ends up being well worth it, as some of the other Shower radios I had purchased in the past at a lessor price just never to cut it (i.e. Their overal feature/construction of unit and the sound from them). As the old adage goes; "You get what you pay for"... So I give this a Sony Shower Radio/CD (The Sony ICF-CD73W) a "Greatly Not compulsory" assess!!
- J. Stekel "Boomer's Buddy"

the sony icf-cd73w shower radio plays cd's and radio plainly and in stereo but don't move the player or it will stop playing for a few seconds. Also, the time sight isn't sharp or able to read at all in the dark.
- Stu Erris "serris"

All the shortcomings described by previous reviewers are true: LCD panel is poorly lit, light blue and colorless shared class don't bring about water supply including fill up and light in any bathroom. But most much the shower CD is not apposite for a shower opportunity except it is meeting in a dinghy sealed jar. The following this cut of technological [...] gets wet, it is as skilled as exhausted. Epic dissipate of cash! And of way, the lousy warranty or I should say be deficient in thereof, will you house sodden! My "shower CD" may maybe not stand being compensated wet and only died. All attempts at revivival were futile.
- Yuri "Yuri"

This radio is just so what I sought after. Digital tuner and presets on the radio so I don't have to spend time incisive for the rank I want.The buttons for radio, CD player, on, off, and the presets are raised so I can feel for them lacking my glasses ( which I seldom have in the bathroom).All operations are intuitive and the sound is good.
- Plink

This manufactured goods did not continue nine months. It wasn't in supervise over outline of fill up keep pro, of road, was in the shower. It only stopped working one calculate. Only stopped. Extra batteries observably didn't manipulate the matter. This is excessively high-priced not to continue.

I bought this product bc i recently bought a few meditation cd's (don't ask) i wanted to listen to in bed, shower, kitchen, etc. i needed a touch portable. anyway, my only complaint is you can't just skip ahead to the next footstep. in order to skip ahead you have to turn and hold that big knob on the right as the songs/tracks move ahead. you can hear the song/footstep as its moving and its not really fast at all. i think its rank of annoying that it works this way so if i bring to a standstill to do a touch i'd have to start the cd over and hold that knob until i get to the spot where i left off. it has a "pause" botton but it will only pause for a minute or 2.
- CG "CG"

I bought this cd player as a christmas gift for my girlfriend since she is a music stubborn and has mentioned wanting to be able to take note to her music in the shower. I've had the chance to test it out for myself and I must say that it was all I probable it to be and more. It is easy to operate, sounds clear, and so far (about a month) hasn't given her any harms yet. It uses 4 C batteries which aren't built-in, so make sure you pick up a set, if at all possible rechargeable if you'll be putting it to daily use. By and large, she loved the gift and is very happy with it. 5 stars.
- V. Trang

I bought this touchtone phone logic primarily so my 2 year old and I can take note to fun kid composition even as we take a bath. Sounds splendid and can be twisted down practically low...nice in an echoey bathroom. I only wish it weren't practically so great and that you may maybe chat CDs without accessing the back of the unit. If it's hanging up on the shower arm hostile to the tile wall you in the end have to take it down to chat discs. Insignificant to be sure buy grating nonetheless. Agreed the choices out here I'd beyond doubt buy this over again.
- S. West "Foster mom"

Less than one year with purchase, this shower radio just bunged effective. New batteries didn't help. It just died. Very disappointing.
