I need a little portable radio. Must fit in pocket, have a good antennae, and be available on Amazon. →[More:]

I'm going to start walking to work a couple times a week and would like a radio to carry with me. [Hey, look at me! I'm boring and prematurely middle aged! I want to listen to NPR on the way to work, not my iPod!]

The last little radio I had SUCKED -- I could get very few stations to come in clearly. And I'll pretty much be listening to stations on the low end of the dial, if that matters. Oh, and will use headphones, obviously.

I'm placing an Amazon order this morning, so would like to order it from there to take advantage of the free shipping.

Any suggestions?

Yes, I realize now that 'antennae' is plural. It only needs to have one.

This is the one I take to baseball games. Reception is excellent, no matter what pocket it gets dropped into.

I also really like my Ipod nano's fm reception, if it is just fm that interests you.
