I want a really good, portable, FM radio. I live in NYC, and I have
lots of reception/interference problems. I was hoping the Sony 100s
would be a good choice for my needs. Anybody got any opinions on how
it functions as an FM radio (i.e. as an expensive Walkman).

Thanks,

I tried ALL of the shortwave portables regarding their FM performance.
The very best ( testing with ears only!!) is the SANGEAN 909.
You have to learn how to manipulate the whip antenna. I get stations
with this radio that others only come in with an attic antenna.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm hoping to find something smaller
than the 909, but it gets such good comments that maybe I'll
reconsider.
