Default Kaito-208 review

I just received the Kaito KA-208 Digital Display Mini AM-FM Radio. Though it
does not have SW on it I find the radio a pleasant surprise. I paid $15
including shipping for it. It is analog, but with digital tuning. First, it
is the smallest radio I ever had. It is as small as a pack of cards. Second,
the AM band is sensitive. I am in Maine, and I am picking up WTOP out of
Washington DC at night with good reception. So, the AM is by far the most
sensitive for a small radio I tried. Only the Sony 100 is in the same
league. Third, FM is very good reception. I tested a tough fringe station on
it and it receives it better than most radios I have had. It equals the GE
SuperRadio III for the fringe station tested. I am not sure I got lucky and
got a good model, or all of the KA-208's are this good. Construction is
good, looks like it will hold up to some abuse. Anyways, the radio is on
sale sometimes on Ebay, and a site called softwareandstuff.com has it on
sale. For being such a small radio (about 3'" long) it is a decent
performer.
