Why do people rave so highly about this portable radio? While I
think it's a good one overall, it is definitely overpriced...it's
about a $30 radio to my mind, considering the *lousy* user interface.

Agree that the memory/preset interface could be better. The design is
dated; later radios used faster and friendlier ways to enter and retrieve
memory channels. But then, you have to ask: if this design is so old and
dated, why not just replace it with a newer model having a better
interface. It must be because it is still selling ... because it performs
well as a receiver.
