Best is to take this when working outside and get the rich full sound you can't get with radios 10 times the size.
For most stations, I don't even pull the telescoping antenna up, only on the weak distant stations.
The rechargable pack gives you an amazing long amount of play time before needing recharge.
The Model One has a slightly bigger speaker which gives it slightly better sound, but that one is not portable. I have two of each of these radios, and end up using the PALs more, because I can carry them from room to room, use them in the shower, take them outside, use them in the kitchen.
This was the very last radio Henry Kloss designed before his death. He also designed the Model One, but none of the others in the Tivoli line besides the PAL were his ideas. He would have cringed if he saw the way they turned his ideas into clock radios and stereo versions with all the other features he didn't want in the radio. He wanted them simple, without any gimmicks, and that is what this radio is.
You will have a real "Henry Kloss" original if you get this one.
