Query: well worth the ten bucks

sure, its cheap plastic with a battery door that can get lost, but for $10 its the best cheapie radio i've found. rated at up to 45 hours on a set of new 2xAA batteries, i instead run mine in "used" batteries that don't have enough power to run other electronic items with more draw. yet i get hours and hours of additional use out of those "used" batteries. i like having this radio that tunes in stations with a thumb dial because i can dial in stations that my other automatic-tuning radios can't, because the signal isn't strong enough for them to lock on to. sound is a bit tinny but what else would you expect from such a tiny speaker. all in all, its a fine radio for $10.
