Can be used as a battery operated or AC. It is illuminated and easy to read.
You can program stations as well like the Villages radio station. The only draw back is the weight. It is a very heavy but study radio.

They have a big variety of radios to choose from. Give them a look.
Sounds interesting, I'll look them up. Might work out nicely since I need a radio too. It would be great if it could pick up 700 WLW (stands for Whole Lotta Watts) in Cincinnati - it has a pretty strong signal, 50,000 watts I think. (used to be 500,000 watts in the early 1900's. Considered the king of radio. It could be heard in Europe and was used to help boost the moral of our troops over there during WWII.) Sorry, got side tracked. Thanks for the information.
