Good, cheap radios

[OzBomber]

Looking to get a radio with FM/AM for a cheap price to listen to at the footy and cricket. Anyone know of any?

Is that Sports Ear at Rebel any good?

Sounds good. Where can I get them? Dick Smith? JB?

The problem with cheap radios is that they are anything but good.

I have a couple of Sony Radio Walkmans, the latest being the one in the link below. My requirements for a radio are built-in speaker and digital tuning.

I'd also take a look at Sangean: http://www.sangean.com/

And yeah, take a look at Tandy and Dick Smith. The Sony is available at Sony shops.

Here's a link to an online seller, but I presume the portable radio I posted above is in just about all tech shops also as Sony's quite a big brand. I'm pretty sure my father got his from the Sony shop.

Do they work well (ie. Good transmission at MCG, Dome etc.?).

Thankd.

They work at the 'G' perfectly for me, some angles don't work in your pocket though which is very common.

What do you mean by angles? Or is it just how it fits in your pocket? What about the Dome?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Just how it fits in your pocket, nothing to worry about there at all.

Haven't tried it at the Dome.

Strangely the cheapy TEAC radio I have works better than my Sony one and is half the size..
