 Needs better Quality ControlJul 16, 2006
By R. J. Baranick
It's certainly a substantial radio for the money.
FM reception is excellent.
AM reception is marginal for a rural area.
I ordered 3 radios. ( for family members )
One didn't work right out of the box.
Another developed a scratchy volume control
after a few hours of use.

 very bad productJan 02, 2008
By loyal amazon customer 956
This radio is less than total junk.......fm band is inoperable...i am so upset, i will eat the loss, instead of sending back, etc.....
This is sold and stocked by Amazon (not some other company) and is so far below Amazon;s old standards as to be worthy of this critical review....Amazon should be ashamed.........

Garbage.Oct 14, 2007
By E. Warden
Even for a Coby this thing is horrible. You wont get clear signals of any station. The materials are cheap and the dial broke after 2 weeks. I gave it 1 star because you can't give it a zero.

 Does not quite deliver all you wantJan 10, 2007
By J. Trier
I've been using the COBY CX39 for a few months. It has a few oddities that I wish I had know before I purchased it. The AM stations all have a high-pitched interference sound no matter what station and what direction I point it in. I don't experience that on my other radios. It's very annoying. The FM frequency does not do this, but AM is terrible.
The tuning is a bit odd. It doesn't lock-in to a frequency like a digital radio. You have to constantly adjust it to get the strongest signal. The dials to tune and adjust volume work counter-intuitively in that dialing up turns the dial/volume down and dialing down turns them up. Plus, it only saves one station. So if you switch between AM and FM it only keeps one of them. You can't even store your favorite on each frequency.

JunkJan 09, 2007
By fly46c
I own several small radios, including portable shortwaves. This is by far the most unuseable. With single conversion design and a low price I expected some things to be under par, but....the frequency readout was way off and selectivity was horrible. Regular AM stations were impossible to tune in accurately. There was significant 'bleed' between adjacent stations making it difficult to impossible to listen. I returned this unit.
