Radio Guide - digital, portable, clock.... what to buy for your needs

If you read my other blogs, then you have no doubt seen me comment on my main blog (Phantascene.com's Journal) about things I overhear on my dad's radio. He likes to listen to the radio, it has kind of taken over his reading of books since he can't read after that stroke he had several years back. At night, when he goes to bed, he likes to have his radio turned on, which means that me and mom have to listen to it. Tried earphones, they don't work that great for me because he tends to turn them up ALL the way so I can hear them in the next room. Not good for his already bad hearing.

He likes to listen to the News Radio the most (650 am), but it's out of Kenai and the reception here is not that great. It's the only station I have found that carries Art Bell though, so what else can we do?

I've considered getting him a new radio, one that might get better reception, but I am not the sort that listens to music so I know little about radios. And there is where a new guide I found comes in.

Radio Guide understands that not everyone has a PHD in radio technology, that some of us just want to figure out what matches our needs without all the sorting through of techno-babble to understand it all when buying a Digital Radio. They explain the different types of radio, how to choose and buy a radio, and point you in the right direction for where to buy one. A price search lets you compare prices from across the Internet.

I don't know about you all, but anything that helps me make shopping a bit less of a hassle, particularly this time of the year, is a lifesaver.

::meanders off to look for information on what radios have the best range so I can get rid of that infernal BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz sound plaguing 650 when you listen to it from the Mat-Su Valley:::
