Weightless device loaded with features Probably could be designed to fit into ear buds Did not know it was speakerless when I bought it I wanted it to play at my desk as the airport traffic pattern is above it but without speakers I threw it in my drawer I don’t like wires

The squelch is either on or off with the airband mode. When it is off there is a large amount of annoying static but when it is on reception is practically nil. AM/FM work fine. Small and lightweight.

Ok as a AM/FM radio but that is about it. Very disappointed with aviation band reception. The radio depends on the earbud wire as an antenna and it is also line of sight reception availability. Got it last week and would have sent it back but cannot find the invoice. Also poor quality earbud covers. Impossible to install without ripping the foam.
