Out of all the pocket radios we've tested that do not have built-in speakers, the Sony SRF-M37W Walkman Radio has THE BEST AM radio reception. Customer recommendations brought this radio to our attention. Our tests confirmed that this compact, easy-to-use radio has great AM sensitivity. However, if you are close to an AM broadcast antenna you may notice some bleeding into other adjacent stations on the dial. FM reception is comparable to our other fine pocket radios. Features 20 station presets (5 Weather, 10 FM, 5 AM), direct weather band button, local/distant (DX) switch for improved reception, hold switch to prevent accidental station changes, battery indicator, and LCD Digital Display with clock. Stereo headphones and belt clip also included. Exceptional battery life of over 40 hours on just one "AAA" alkaline battery (not included). Dimensions: 3.375" W x 2.5" H x 1.31" D.

| This is for the Sony SRF-M37W radio. I have had this radio for years. I like the pickup on AM as well as FM.
The weather band portion isn't too bad. With FM & weather band you have to play with the antenna. (your headphone cord) Not
so much FM, but DX'ing on FM, it is helpful to try positions with the cord . AM this radio is hot. I use mine mostly for
AM talk radio programs. The presets are great. I use mine in bed at night, in total darkness and use the ' braille' method
of tuning. Count by ten when tuning up or down. Finding the stations on presets is easy too. Depending on radio propagation,
I have talk stations ready from Omaha, Cinncinatti , and St Paul MN. Fading is no problem, just seek the correct preset and
you rarely miss a word.
The digital readout is handy for IDing unknown stations. At least you have the frequency down.
I use rechargable batteries and keep one on standby. Changing batteries in the dark is no challenge.
I would be lost without this little radio. Thank you for reading. - Stephen Jeske
