What is Reddit's opinion of Sony ICFP26 Portable AM/FM Radio,Black?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Oh man I remember hearing about that, that's just part of summer for me is listening on the radio sometimes. I have one of these in my garage for that very reason. I can't imagine having to listen to a TV play by play on the radio. If the MLB wants to drive subscriptions, get rid of the blackouts, give us listening options like radio and mic'd up feeds, etc and people will pay. They're doing their best to keep me an illegal streamer at this point.

I've got a couple of these Sony AM/FM radios stored away with a set of lithium (non-rechargable) batteries taped to the back (but not inside the battery compartment in case they leak (but the lithium batteries supposedly do not leak).

I have a hand held radio Sony ICFP26 Portable AM/FM Radio,Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012F0DGYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_qcm-Fb6QGKQFC

I listen and mute the tv... There’s a delay but it’s fun to know when a big play is about to unfold right before my very eyes

I just got a high end Bluetooth speaker called the Demerbox DB2. It's basically a super rigged indestructible Bluetooth speaker in the form of a real Pelican box. You can use it with Bluetooth or via an aux cable. The Demerbox support suggested that if I wanted to use a radio with it, I should get this small portable Sony radio. The Sony ICF-P26.

I don't know anything about radios. The one issue I think I might have is that I work inside a very large building. I think I might have trouble getting a radio signal inside there.

So I'm wondering if I need some kind of more powerful radio that can pick up radio signals better? Ideally, it would still be small enough to fit inside the Demerbox itself.

What radio are you using? I have this one and the reception is amazing I can pull stations from Upper PA/NJ here in VA with this lil thing. The batteries last forever too in this thing. It's the best cheapest gadget I've ever bought.

Maybe just pick up a cheap radio? Do they still sell those?

But I think the audio-only MLB at-bat is pretty cheap. $20?

I haven't gotten much of a chance to game test it yet, but I bought one of these.

I tried with the At Bat app, but the significant lag was maddening. I went to PC Richards and picked up a portable Sony AM/FM tuner for $20, specifically to bring to solo Citi Field outings.

Edit: This one

It's also available at Amazon for 2 dollars cheaper, but I'd rather try to give some of my money to a local company. Plus, I was buying it the day of a game, and wanted it right then and there, rather than waiting for it to ship.

You can find other options as well, if you just search for portable radio, but I figured the Sony would have a better chance of holding up and performing, over the long term, than some no-name version that I saved $5 on

That would be a small battery-powered AM/FM receiver then.

There's one of these on its way to me right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012F0DGYE

If you need a two-way radio though, that's not the radio you want.

If you just want AM/FM reception, here's the one I have:

Sony ICFP26:

Seems pretty solidly built, has pretty good reception (better than my car stereo), rated to run around 100 hours on a set of AA batteries.

Sony's ICFP26 has analogue tuning dial and display which is bad. I need to set this radio to a specific unused frequency. Sony's SRFV1BT is too big and won't fit in a pocket.
