Customer Review: Better and not better that the cx38 ?
I have owned 2 of these in the past, both of which did not last but 3 or 4 months. While it actually has a working TV2, or upper tv, band, The weather band never came in, and did not even come in when I used headphones, which also act as a wire Antenna Technically.
I cant decide if these were better or not than the cx 38, since it has no sensitivity or reception on the weather band. This is quite unfortunate, because this is quite an affordable radio on our budget. However, They were only 2 dollars less than the cx38. These are also actually personal stereo systems, because the built in speaker was optional, and it can with its own earphones. This is also about the only personal stereo system that I know of, which is analog, and has weather band.
I have yet to test the CX18, which was, evedintely, the successor of the cx17, and has a built in speaker and is a larger model, like the cx38.
