They've resolved the poor AM reception, and FM/NOAA are not spectacular, but they're adequate, AM is much better and no buzzing interference, (except for about 35-40 seconds after disconnecting the C-type charging cable) but the buzzing disappears after the charging symbol fades away from the LED display.You know the designers changed a few things including switching from the micro charging port to a C-type which makes it easier to plug in for most people as there is no wrong side on a C-type port.I can't tell yet how long this unit will last on a full charge as I've just begun charging it, but I was able to test out all the feature before I began charging it.So, for the final analysis, this is adequate for AM reception, FM / NOAA are adequate reception-wise for a very short whip antenna, you may just need to hold the unit up higher just to capture weaker NOAA or FM signals.I gave it 5 stars due to the improved C-type charging port and the AM reception improvement!
