I bought my first CR-1100 some time ago, probably 1-2 years. It started turning itself on random numbers of days or hours after I had last used it, but after 6 months or so it fixed itself. I did buy a second one, thinking I would use it as a kitchen radio. Either one clearly tunes weak FM stations I can't hear at all on other portables, so I use them mostly on FM. AM is OK with good audio, but not a lot of distant stations. If there is RFI, you don't hear it in the AM audio too much but it will overload the front end, or at least that is my guess, based on how mine behave.

Saying "RadioShack knows how to eat humble pie," Advertising Age reports on "RadioShack's Journey to Bring Back a Forgotten Customer." The article calls the forgotten customer the DIYer; I hope the renewed recognition of the electronics hobbyist extends to the radio enthusiast, which do overlap some.
