hi list, reguarding Walt's post, he's exactly right. I have a digital FM radio i got with a pack of batteries, that runs on a watch battery. It's got headphones attached, but i'm sure sighted friends could splice a pair for this purpose or a jack for plugging other headphones in. this unit will pick up stations from 2 hours away inside a house right beside a stereo, so book port's radio would just be a waste and i wouldn't want to lose my reading system to repair a radio. these are just my thoughts. sorry if they don't make sense.. lol brandon
