Back when I was jogging I collected a few radios. I'm talking about broadcast radio only, not MP3s and such.


All I could really find in bottom dollar brands and came across one I kept in a drawer til now. This Coby unit has a neck strap and is very comfortable while on my bike. I dont have to clip it to my waist or around my arm like others. There's a Sony one that I'd like to get, but it just seems uncomfortable to impossible to use it while riding.

Anyways, I like the Coby one I have and all, but the reception sucks and its difficult to find a channel and when you move it goes dizzy.

Does anyone know of a unit that has a strong signal, decent volume and can be used around the neck (like a necklace)? Id really appreciate it.
