I purchased it several months ago as I wanted a sensitive radio for the bathroom that could pick up a low power (100 watt) FM station across town that my other radios could not seem to pull in easily. These other radios required lot of fussing around to position them in exactly the right spot, which usually wasn't a practical place for a radio to be. The PRUNUS J-05 does an awesome job, and effortlessly pulls in the weakeat stations really well. It may require a full extension of the antenna for weak or distant FM stations. But the radio is able to be placed in a convenient spot and pulls in the weak/distant station I wanted to listen to, crystal clear. One thing that does take a little getting used to with the PRUNUS J-05 is the fact that you get some 'ghost signals' (repetitive signals) on either side of the actual signal that you want to listen to. These signals are usually just as listenable. As others have pointed out, it is similar to an older feature called "Automatic Frequency Control" or AFC that automatically switches over to the stronger signal if you tuned into a less listenable signal. This is rectified by making sure to tune into the actual source signal as opposed to these other ghosts signals. But it is a very small price to pay for such a sensitive radio at such a decent price point. As with other modern portable radios that are not at a premium price point, the only casualty (if there is one) might be the quality of the AM sound that you get. The signals come in strong and again this radio is more sensitive than any other I own (or equal to my smaller Sangean). But most radios I purchased in the last 5 to 10 years seem to have given up on providing any kind of treble resolution above 3 or 4k on the AM band. Older radios provided far greater treble resolution with AM (providing almost an additional octave of treble resolution). This is probably a holdover from the days when AM radio was still very viable for music (Top 40). But I guess I am showing my age here. A premium radio like the Crosley that I own sounds wonderful on FM and very respectable on AM, but the AM reception is basically nonexistent except for maybe a 50,000 watt Clear Channel station (and my Crosley has significant problems with AM ghost signals from way up the AM band that show up farther down the band). As others have noted, the PRUNUS J-05 is also very sensitive on the weather band. I pick up a couple of signals really well. Other radios I own with the weather band in the house can barely pick up one. As far is overall sound quality, the radio has a very decent sound quality, especially for FM talk radio. I find it has a decent amount of top end brilliance (on FM) that makes voices really stand out. Again, on AM radio there is not really high end to speak of. But the PRUNUS J-05 has a full sound that will project and definitely gets the job done. it has a pretty robust volume level, where it will project farther than any other radio I have in the house, save for my home stereo. Out of the box it may sound more brilliant than full, but give it time. It will eventually break in and the bottom end will get richer sounding, complimenting the top end. I highly recommend the PRUNUS J-05 and I would buy it again. Review: Very cool little radio!. - This little radio is really neat. The speaker is nice and crisp and the volume can go quite high. The weather band can come in a little staticky but it depends on where you put the radio to get better reception clarity. I was able to get three of the WB channels quite clearly. The AM/FM comes in nice and clear once you tune the knob. I use this radio in my garage and it looks and works great!. Really happy with my purchase and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a simple easy to use portable radio. What I like about this radio more is it’s made of pretty durable plastic and it takes batteries or you can plug it in to your wall socket. ## Features - 【Excellent Reception】Weather radios for home with best reception equipped with high-quality DSP chip and telescopic antenna, greatly enhance signal reception without static, know the latest weather updates，protect you and your families. - 【A Must For Emergency】NOAA Weather radio AM FM frequency range: WB:162.40-162.55kHz（cover 7 NOAA）, FM: 87-108 MHz, AM:520-1710 kHz, it's also a necessary portable weather radio for power outage to get you know incoming severe weather, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, earthquake, etc. Having this NOAA weather radio battery powered could easily save your family's lives in an emergency.

I purchased the portable radio version from this brand and didn't like it so I thought this bigger version is probably the same. However, to my surprises, it out performed all other NOAA radios I purchased. The signal was good for AM/FM/NOAA so no complaint. I guess the only thing I could come up with this is the fact it's not rechargeable but there's AC plug in option so I would go with that if that's your concern. ## Frequently Bought Together - NOAA Weather AM FM Portable Radio with Best Reception, Transistor Radio, 3 X D Battery Operated Radios or AC Power for Household & Outdoor, Plug in Wall by PRUNUS - Duracell Coppertop D Batteries, 4 Count Pack, D Battery with Long-lasting Power, All-Purpose Alkaline D Battery for Household and Office Devices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/204541794-weather-radio-am-fm-05](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/204541794-weather-radio-am-fm-05) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
