5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic reception!!! Much better than Sony!, February 21, 2004

First and most imporantly the reception is AWESOME! Very very stable! 10 times better reception than Sony SRF-M37V radio walkman. The indoor reception is great and outdoor is flawless! I had the sony walkman and when I walk around my neighborhood it picked up a lot of static, very annoying, the reception seems to fade in and out, gets worse if unit is placed in jacket pocket. Then I got this Panasonic and walked the same route, no static! Very rarely this radio gets static, even if there's static(rare) its very faint and only happens indoor. Bad thing about this unit is lack of belt clip but the armband is great.

Buttons design could be better, the volume dial, dx/local switch, bass switch are located on bottom of the unit, would be better if on top... Too bad there's no TV reception. The size of this unit is not small, its...Read more

Whenever there is a commercial, I would switch to my favorite FM station, Z100, and listen to music. The transition between the stations is extremely easy and convenient. Panasonic made the radio simple to use. One button does it all: turns on the radio, switches between bands, and changes channels. The quality is GREAT on both AM and FM.

However, there is one minor problem with this product. When I purchased my first RF-SW50, after continuouse use for about 6 months, it suddenly broke down. The On button would't work, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I tried installing new batteries. I knew that the mechanism inside was working, because I could see the "lock" icon on the screen when it was Off. I have read other people's reviews with the similar issue.

You're wondering why I still...Read more
