Emerson 659
#5

Just for the heck of it In detached the internal FM antenna and just clipped one of my jumper wires to the screw. Yes Virginia, the Emerson does actually work on FM. Seems the internal antenna is either not good or the way I have the cord routed is not good for reception. Still not super loud, but that's good as the Emerson has bass on FM, too much! Even with the tone control turned all the way to treble this radio can still develop the dreaded cabinet rattle. Still it's encouraging to now get FM stations clear across the dial.

No matter where you go, there you are.
