I'd heard that due to slightly lower voltage, AA rechargeable may not
be suited for Sony's favorite portable. True?

I always use NIMH's on it even though I have a couple Sony AC adapters,
just so I can always pick up the radio and carry it with me to
another room.

It's wise to always have another set of 4 AA's charged and ready to go,
however. So you need 8 not 4.

The synch detector howls on weak signals whether you use the AC
adapter or not ; on the other hand it's a cheap radio.

You do get better reception with the ground that the AC adapter
gives, but that's not the batteries' fault ; if some weak SW situation
is what you're dealing with. But then you could use a more expensive
radio too.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
we can tell your a jerk

If as you say, it is a cheap radio, what exactly would you suggest people
buy for use as a small portable, easy to use, sensitive radio that has sync
lock. We can all have drakes and the likes, but i find those rather
cumbersome to use as a pocket portable.
