I have to come clean.I wrote a scathing review of this unit earlier today.Last night, I set this up in our kitchen, but after fumbling for a couple hours to get decent reception from the ac cord/antenna, I gave up.Static and poor audio from every station on the fm dial -- and we live well within the bounds of Washington DC's radio coverage (and get great reception from all of our other radios and stereos).Well, joy of the internet!I read that refrigerators can interfere with other electronics that share the same outlet and can even interfere with electronics that are simply in the vicinity. As it turns out, I had indeed plugged the radio into the same outlet as the fridge and while I had tried everything to improve receptio last night -- even adding and extension cord to increase the "length" of the ac antenna -- it never occurred to me to try a different outlet.Sure enough, that did it.Problem solved.It turns out circuits with light dimmers can have a similar effect as fridges, too. Bottom line, make sure to select your outlet carefully.Sounds great now -- what difference.Can't seem to change the rating on this, but would give it 4 stars now, at least.Click Here to see more reviews about: Sony ICF-CDK70 Under Cabinet Kitchen Clock Radio with CD-Changer
