It is not a real portable radio,
becasue it must be carried around
with both hands.
A slide ruler for volume control
looks a little bit "cheapy".
On FM waves there is no
indication if you are in STEREO or
MONO mode.
And the biggest flaw about that radio
is a strong "birdie" around 3.640 Mhz (LSB, USB or CW).
But on the other side it is a very useful and nice made radio.
