  • do you listen to it?
  • At home, in car etc.
  • do you have a portable transistor radio? Have you had one?
  • For communication during power outages and other emergencies - general listening, etc. 
  • do you have a collection - old radios, etc.
  • Easiest method for informing general public(battery powered transistor radios).
  • Auto industry not installing in newer vehicles(interference from electrics?)
  • Governments intervening with legislation to have them remain in vehicles.
