Amazon has the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio (Silver) for $9 with free shipping on $25+. Has a built-in monophonic earphone jack and is powered by two AA batteries (not included). Excellent Amazon reviews.
If the end of civilization comes there will be plenty of people transmitting because it's the RF range practically everyone has a receiver for. The nice thing about this unit is it takes AA cells so you can power it with Eneloops.
Is this 1985 again?
No, not recently. I didn't realize AM/FM broadcast radio was obsolete...
I thought Walkman replaced these types, is the quality the same?
a self-powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio is much better than this
good for your "bug out bag" if theres anyone left to broadcast

Amazon also has a similar Panasonic for a buck more - http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-RF-P50-Pocket-Radio-Silver/dp/B00004T1XE
Actually this looks like the pocket radios we had in the '60s. I wonder how many transistors it has.
Considering it's Sony, it's probably a '60s model updated with DRM.
It does not accept PSVITA card made by SONY.
Want one that uses those new rectangle shaped batteries; think they are 9 volts.
Does this Sony come with a free root kit?
