Megatech Radio Rodent...Some dissambly required...

Shabby workmanship out the box. An opportunity if one is a clever: Battery access is screw-driver opened and closed. One must hack an on/off switch for convenient power down. I like RF versus IR but item still required dis-assembly to align screw-in-antenna feature. Grandson enjoyed our "redesigning". Cats loved it too. -KPF

Technically the radio performs fine, However, ....
The reason I need to purchase a new marine radio was the an older Uniden Marine radio's battery had started to weaken and they would not sell replacement batteries.  After seven or eight years, they no longer supported this otherwise good radio.  A bit understandable, but frustrating.
So, I bought this new one.  Little did I know that this lack of product support was typical of Uniden.
I go out into the Pacific for a week at a time and need spare Batteries.  After purchasing this Uniden MHS235 I tried to buy two spare batteries to take out with me fully charged.  I've waited for over 30 minutes on hold and then finally get someone who couldn't / wouldn't help me.
Still trying to find spare batteries.

Just bought the system using the 45142 Wireless Alarm System Control Center, 45132 Motion Sensor, 45131 Wireless Door/Window Sensors, 45144 GE Keychain Transmitter Remote and 45136 Choice-Alert Wireless Alarm Siren.  The system performed OK but there were a few minor issues that I would like to share.  In reading the reviews, I read that battery replacement was a problem considering the Door/Window sensors are installed with double sided tape.  This prompted me to use 'velcro tape' to mount these sensors instead of the enclosed double sided tape.  This will permit easy removal enabling the battery replacement without the problem of tearing the double sided tape off the door. You will also find there is a learning curve to the removal of the back of the Door/Window Sensors, it is difficult.  Lastly, I found the Door/Window Sensor needed an adapter (which I made) when attaching to the door.  This is needed due to the door gap and/or location of the magnet on the door jam.  This adapter is helpful in maintaining the required 1/2 inch or less gap.  The adapter should be the size of the Door/Window Sensor plus an extra 1/2 inch in width.  The adapter attaches to the top of the door, (using the double sided tape)so that it bridges over the gap from the door jam.  You then attach the Door/Window Sensor to the adapter as close to the magnet as possible.  Keep in mind, use the 'velcro' when attaching the Door/Window Sensor to the adapter.  I found this to be a good solution the the battery replacement problem.
Since the 45142 Control Center has no provision for wall mounting, use the 'Velcro tape" here as well.

The radio does not receive other transmissions as well with the speaker / mic installed.

I'm not so sure about the battery operated rat and mouse control.  We are still having problems.  The mice that is inside is stubborn and doesn't seem to repel them any.  At my wits end!  Have paid out thousands to exterminators and we are trying do it yourself pest control. The T3 pest control stops them, but still here haven't tried to leave the home.  We have a couple as far as we can figure, but can't get rid of them.  We will see if things will change for a few days or longer and give you an upgrade.  The pests like to get in lounge chair and even on the bed board.  I feel as if I'm in a twilight zone!

I have a similar mouse cube from another company..  I was amazed how well it worked, I took a big chunk of peanut butter and placed it inside the cube as well as a small smear on the door bottom ..  Well the little guy came a running ... It was like hurricane katrina hit and no cops were around to stop the looters from entering WALMART for free TV's..
  I could hear it crying in the cube,  or I should say it was calling for a POLICE MOUSE BACKUP LOL...  So I let him in there for another hour, after all he did enter my home or other occupied structure with the intent to commit a crime, so he needed to do some time... Well, sure enough his backup arrived, or his homies ...  His TWO backup units arrived and guess what the other two mice did, they also entered into the cube with the 1st one, YES WE ARE BORG, RESTISTANCE IF FUTILE.. LOL ....  Only problem is, their drive to feed was stronger than their desire to help a brother out LOL .. They all jammed them self in trying to get a piece of the pie .. Selfish RAT  b a s t a r d s ... LOL .. Again they were looting. It was mass looting.  Now here is the only PROBLEM, the release ... The cube was designed for ONE mouse, not a one room apartment filled with 20 semi dark complected individuals all sleeping in one room on the floor...  So when it was time to release them, I turned the cube upside down and sure enough there were to many inside to allow the door to swing open freely..  So I stood it up on one end trying to allow gravity to pull them down to one side in order to make way for the door to open some ...  after about 10 mins I was able to get the door 3/4's of the way down, I then used a small stick in a effort to gently push the door down some more and bingo, out the first one went, problem was they were all so disoriented from the ordeal, they didn't just run off or out the door...  I think they now have POST TRAMATIC STRESS DISORDER from this ordeal and should be signed up for SSI...  Oh the ANXIETY ...LOL  AM I NOT MERCIFUL ???????  COMMODUS THE MERCIFUL ...  Well hope I didn't offend anyone, I love humor.... I'm gonna add this material for my STAND UP ROUTINE ...LOL ..  Sorry Seinfeld, it's my material LOL ..Signed Jay and Silent Bob ..

A good friend told me that these electronic mouse traps really work, so I ordered this RATICATOR MAX V2 RODENT ZAPPER (Super Duty Electronic Rat Trap / Mouse Trap) to be ready for the next rodent that shows up in my condo.  I'm not so sure that electrocution is "humane", but I want to get away from using poisons (e.g., D-Con).

I set this electronic mouse trap up in an area where I see mouse droppings from time to time.  There haven't been any of those recently, so I'm not expecting immediate results.  That's why I wanted the "Super Duty Max" model with the 12-month standby time, and with the red light that blinks when the trap needs emptying.

The mouse trap is extremely easy to set up.  You insert 4 flashlight batteries (D cell, alkaline); add some bait (e.g., a little dry cat or dog food); and turn it on with a rocker switch.  A green light flashes to tell you the batteries are good (a fast-blinking red light tells you the batteries are NOT good).

The instructions advise against using moist bait (e,g., my old standby, peanut butter); but they also include step-by-step instructions for safely washing out the mouse trap if it should be necessary. This model is for use indoors or in covered outdoor areas only.  It should NOT be used in a household that keeps small rodents as pets, or in a household with small children who might reach inside when it's turned on.

Overall, a 4.2 or 4.3.  But with a little more forethought, Sangean could have had an overwhelming "5".  Only 5 memory selections for "15,000" Internet streaming stations.  C'mon!  I filled those up within 20 minutes.  Also, a dedicated 'on-off' switch for the lighted dial would be nice, rather than having to go through the long drudgery of finding the lighting intensity selection.  Question:  Are the available stations 'hardwired', or do they periodically get updated?  I have already found several said to be one 'genre' to be something altogether different.  If dedicated to the radio's read-only memory (ROM), what good are the selections going to be in a year or two after stations change their format??  Another nice feature would be an input for an external wi-fi antenna to strengthen the incoming signal.  Also, the advertising would lead one to believe the radio works on batteries only: "Sangean WFR-28 Rechargeable Portable WiFi Internet Radio-Black", and later "Power Source Type Battery" (there is no illustration of the left side showing the inputs).  So . . . I bought the four overpriced rechargeable D-cells and the battery charger.  When I got the radio, the second thing I saw in the box was the AC adapter!!  So, maybe we'll see a WFR-28 second generation.  Maybe with a matte finish, a carrying case (or handle) as this is really a Table Model, not a 'portable' in the true sense of the word.

I ordered one of these radios when they first came out. I am an experienced shortwave listener, and own many portable radios. When this one arrived, I especially liked the ability to scroll through favorite stations ( a feature that is uncommon on similar radios ) and I liked the sensitivity. I noticed, and was moderately annoyed by, the problem with the volume adjustment that many reviewers have mentioned. I like to fall asleep listening to the radio, and I could never get the volume soft enough to enable me to do this. Nonetheless, I was reasonably happy with the radio. After relatively mild use, the MW band vanished - I guess something happened to the internal antenna. The people at CCrane did respond to my email and asked me to send it to them for a repair. At the time I was financially challenged, so I chose to throw the radio away rather than package it up to mail. I just ordered a replacement (used) here on Amazon. I have missed the little radio, and thought I'd give it another try. A new review on my findings will follow...

The"OWL" Rodent Repeller has two settings which is great because the high setting is crazy loud! Seems to be keeping the mice away. Going to need a couple more of these for other rooms and closet. Great size, plugs straight into the wall so there is no dangling cord to mess with.  It  combines ultrasonic & electromagnetic technology to force away rodents, cockroaches, spiders, roaches, ants, mice & rats quickly & easily ,and so that they simply leave your home & never come back again.  I enjoy getting discounts for giving my review of quality products like this one!

I like the mouse, except for the fact that my pages move by themselves, and you can't move just one line at a time.  You can, but it doesn't work out too well.  I do like the wireless part.  I don't have to contend with wires.  I have enough of them.

Mostly great.  I like the dimmable display, it's plenty big to see from anywhere in the room, and the radio works well.  Setting up the radio stations and presets is a bit awkward... definitely not obvious how to do it.  Also, the clock has a cheap, little transformer inside that constantly hums.  I had the clock on the nightstand about 2 feet away from my head, and I had to unplug it... neither of us could sleep with that buzzing.  I'm going to buy a small 12VAC plug-in transformer (little black brick thing) and bypass the one in the clock.  That should take care of the buzzing.

Overall good, but needs to be removed for changing for access to memory card and battery, as well as USB port.  Minor inconveniences.

I went 2 months without a mouse and then suddenly got 3. I decided to move it to another spot. I went to get it and lo and behold, it was on the floor! It fell out of the socket! (it was a lose socket and that day we clunked something heavy down on the staircase that it was plugged into, we think it fell out) well, that explains the 3 mice! My daughter hasn't seen any signs of mice since she plugged hers in a few months ago and the biggest test was a house going up for sale, it was infested. We plugged it in and the mice left!

I like this radio. But it has some serious ergonomic design problems.

Background. I don't sleep well and ususally wake up during the night.  I find it helpful when falling asleep to have a radio playing. I need to be able to change staions in the dark and I need an external speaker plug to attach a pillow speaker. I also need to be able to dim the display since lights interupt my sleep. I had a Sangean rcr-22 which broke after 4 years of usage. It also had problems. I wanted something better.

The rcr-5 was similar to the rcr-22 but was cheaper and did not have the "atomic clock" feature which never worked in New York City. I am too far from the broadcast antenna in Colorado and am near too many tall buildings that block the signal.

The rcr-5 has all the basic features I needed. The sound quality is good. The station reception is good.
Basically it works OK for my needs. Reception seems a little better than the rcr-22. The display back light can be dimmed so it does not disturb my sleep but can still be seen in the dark. On the RCR-22 the dimmest setting for the backlight was too bright and I had to turn off the display at night.

The rcr-22 had 7 station pre-sets each for AM and FM. The rcr-5 has only 5 each. That is enough for me, but might not be enough for other people. The display on the rcr-22 had more information than the rcr-5. The rcr-22 showed the date and/or the preset station number in addition to the time.

The real problem with the rcr-5 is the placement of the preset buttons. The top row has 9 adjacent buttons with identical feel. Starting from the left are 2 alarm set buttons. Next are the 5 preset buttons. Then the "snooze" button and then the power on/off button. It is just too easy, in the middle of the night to try to change the radio station by touch and accidently to turn on or off an alarm or accidently hit the snooze button. Bad button placement. I had to put some tape over the alarm and snooze buttons so I could tell them apart from the pre-set stations by feel. The button placement was not great on the rcr-22, but the pre-sets were not next to the alarms. That means fewer accidents.

Let me drop some info-bombs about this particular unit.
You probably may be thinking, hey its 2017, I should be able to plug and play this gps thingy with my windows 10 laptop no sweat right,
That's what I thought too but sadly Mr Nadella and bros over at MS are still sort of behind the times I guess.

1. Ok the magnet on the bottom of this unit made me upset. They should have designed it to be removable.
You can remove it but it takes some patience. If you are a trucker or something you might want it, but I don't want magnets near my travel laptop. Pry the rubber pad off with a very small screwdriver, then pry at the magnet from the sides, it will take some work but eventually it will break from the hot glue. Trying to force rotate it can also help. (You don't take out the philips head screws those are for the top plate)

2. Those of you who want to use the MS "Maps" app with windows 10. It won't work out of the box. You need to install some additional software called GPSdirect (by Michael Chourdakis). Google it

3, It uses PL2303 type driver. This driver in the past has broken things with counterfeit chips, so be careful. If you have already used an arduino or one of those COM port to USB adapters on your PC, you may already have the drivers already installed. (for ref. I use: 2/5/2013 3.4.48.272  on win 10-64 bit)

4. Every restart, you will need to "start" the unit via the GPSinfo utility before starting the Win10 Maps application. Or else the app shows "We are having trouble finding your location". Somewhat annoying so I'm trying to find a workaround for it.

For how the item is described it would probably be 5 stars.  It is a great desk radio and the headphones port is perfect for listening at work without disturbing coworkers.  Battery life is pretty good, been listening to it a few hours a day weekdays for a few months without having to put in new batteries.  Tuning is a little difficult, but that's how things are with the classic manual "roller" tuner.  The numbers are fairly close together so it can be a little tedious getting the station just right to where there's no static.

Pros:
Headphone port
Small size doesn't take up desk space
Simple design
Easy controls
Lightweight

Cons:
No digital tuning
No presets (because it's manual tuning)

Like I said as described, it's 5 stars, and although it is a good price, I don't think digital tuning should mean you have to get a massive $50 radio.

EDIT 1/20/2015:

A few weeks after I posted my review my radio started to develop inexplicable static.  Not enough that I couldn't hear the radio, but enough to be annoying. I thought the batteries were dying so I changed them, but that didn't work.  The only explanation I can think of is that the excess snow on the roof of our building caused it (west Michigan had over a foot in this time frame).  Since I believe that's the case, I'm going to leave my rating at 4 stars since that's the only new problem, and (hopefully) it's seasonal.  I'll update when all the snow clears.

EDIT 6/18/2015:

Static improved marginally, but persists as a problem.  It is really whimsy about how I have it positioned on my desk.  Some times clear as crystal, then shift my arm and it clouds up with static.  Had to drop to 3 stars, otherwise still good.  I realized the audio only comes from one ear piece (I only use one at work anyway), but I believe this is because the broadcast was in mono opposed to stereo (dual speaker).
