AM FM Portable Radio Battery Operated by 2 AAA Batteries

Excelente

Handy small AM/FM with large display showing station or time. Good quality reception. Uses AAA batteries so no waiting for a recharge.

In my hurricane-prone area it's always an idea to have an emergency bag/ go-bag / bug-out bag and it's always an idea to have a simple straightforward radio in there. Because, when the internet goes down and the cell tower blows over, chances are that good ol' RADIO will get you through for information. Except that the one in my bag had died of neglect, so I got this one. Pro: Compact, seems decently built. Reception is very good - indoors, where my old radio would have to be twisted, turned, pointed this way or that, if this one can get a station, it sticks with it. For many FM stations, the little rod antenna is optional ! Sound - decent volume available. On speech, it's very clear without being overly toppy or tinny. Music - well, it's not exactly a boombox, but music is quite listenable. In short, it sounds a lot better than the phrase "one-inch speaker" would suggest. Con: Only 20 memory slots per band - meaning that if you're in a metropolitan area, an FM scan will fill all the slots and start again at slot one (so, if your favourite station is in the 88Mhz region, that gets overwritten by something from about 107). So you need to curate your favourites manually. From other comments, not great battery life (as i say, this is going in the emergency kit, so i've only been playing with it rather than having it on all day). Buy decent batteries. Or lots of cheap ones. Or rechargeables. And using headphones will reduce consumption. The manual mentions Weather Band, which, of course, this doesn't have. If they could add WB, that would be a nice bonus. Then they could paint it yellow and charge twice as much..........add a serrated edge and call it "Tactical", three times as much ! In all, I'm rather sorry that my daily life has no need of this radio - because it's a nice little bit of kit.

This little radio works well for my needs. It is small and fits well into one of the pockets on my work lunch bag. Reception is pretty good also. My only reason for 3 star review is battery life. It would be nice if it was rechargeable but for the price what the heck. Just keep a couple extra batteries with you. Sound is decent on a personal volume level. The supplied earphones are not very good, but they work.

Good radio. I like being able to set presets and flip quickly between preferred stations.

Enjoy using this product while tending my gardens. Bought one a few years ago and accidentally broke the antenna. So, I purchased it again in February. Unfortunately, in late June the radio stopped working but the clock continued to work. I contacted the company, and they immediately returned my email and offered a replacement. I agreed and within 5 days I had a replacement and I'm back to using it during my gardening escapades.

I picked up this little radio to replace another small radio that broke after 22 years in my boat. I needed a small AM/FM/Weather Band radio to listen to FM music or NOAA weather while fishing. Its compact, reception is very good and clear. Sound quality is very good and it can get loud for a little radio. It tunes very easily and quick unlike digital tuning radios. Sorry, old school is sometimes better. Tunes into NOAA Weather Band easily and fast with very good reception. A great little emergency radio that also gets FM stations. Requires two AA batteries, the price is right and I'm impressed. It could make a neat and handy little gift. I'm really difficult to impress and this little radio meet or exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I purchased it.

It has AM/FM, digital tuning with easy to read display. Antenna only goes up and down. Sound is decent with built in speaker, but if you plug in ear buds or headphones you get true stereo sound. Comes with ear buds. Radio has fall asleep to radio, so you can select 90, 60, 45, 30, 10 minutes for sleep setting. Batteries last longer on 30 to 45 minute sleep setting. This works great. Uses two AAA batteries and uses them up quickly if you listen to radio every day for 2 hours. Controls are very tiny, like volume up/down, sleep switch is also the power on switch if you press upward on the button. Power switch is sometimes hard to get it to turn off radio. Some times I have had to set Sleep mode to 10 minutes in the daytime to turn off radio. You must adjust sleep time with another button that has left and right arrows and within seconds of pressing sleep switch. The button with arrows is also the tuning control. Hard to preset stations, so I don't try. Instructions with radio are so tiny, you need a magnifying glass to read them. Radio is fine for just tuning into your local strong FM stations. AM stations are harder to tune. For distant FM stations you can take a 3.5 connecting cable and lightly insert in ear jack for antenna boosting. Has alarm clock too, and time of day display. Not bad for the price. I have had mine for close to 2 yrs. You have to press another button to hear stereo sound in the ear buds, on top of radio, and tiny. Stereo sound through ear buds is very nice. Battery life of the 2 AAA batteries is not long lasting if you use this radio a lot; say like 5 days a week for about an 2 hours a day. Battery indicator drops below the 3rd mark, which is MAX power level, on your first day listening with brand new batteries. Buy plenty of batteries AAA size. Controls are tiny and function labels tiny, so not recommended for the elderly. I am in my mid 60s and can have trouble reading tiny words on controls. Radio is durable though, since it has fallen out of my shirt pocket several times and still works great. Sleep to radio works well. If you listen to lots of distant stations, I don't recommend any digital tune radio. AM stations will come in if they are strong enough; and you must turn radio itself for best AM reception. Lighted tuning dial display drains batteries faster. It goes off automatically.

Easy transaction

Radio muy bonito y portátil

Este radio lo compramos para mi suegra y le gustó mucho. Es pequeño pero la bocina suena muy bien. Tal vez la primera configuración confunde un poco pero ya configurado es sencillo de utilizar. Me encantó que tiene buena señal de radio.

It receives like an old transistor radio. It gets interference from cell phones if it’s too close. Sometime has a bit of static depending on the reception in the area you’re in, but not major. I use it when I take my dog on walks so it does what I needed it for. It’s light, plastic, we’ll see how durable it lasts.
