    Midland XT511:  Little but tough and practical
    5 Stars
    Midland XT511: Little but tough and practical
    I bought this radio about....7 years ago now I think, and the thing is awesome.It's not too big and yet rather durable, probably because it's not too heavy.The sound quality is perfect for basic needs. Think simple radios from the '80s. No stereo button, basic.I'm only giving this review because I'm finally getting around to ordering a replacement battery pack for the rechargable batts that it came with. $8 on Amazon!So if you're looking for a radio that does most all basic needs, small, hand crank if NiCad are low, simple light, etc - don't ask me for mine. I'm keeping it, but get yours here.
