Digital AM FM Shortwave Radio with Best Reception, Rechargeable 4000mAh Portable Radio with NOAA Weather Alert, Large Speaker, Digital Tuner and Stereo Headphones, Compatible

I used to have an extensive collection of portable radios. I had all kinds from Grundig, GE Super Radio, Panasonic RF-888, Sony, Realistic, JVC, CC Radio. I stopped listening to the radio and when I moved to much smaller quarters, they went away. I recently purchased a small multiband digital radio and programmed the FM section. Lately, I have been listening to rock FM broadcasts worth listening to. I simply turn the dial of that radio and it goes to the next programmed station quickly, and there is almost always a reason to stop and listen. This radio is not that difficult to program. I did not look at the directions because from what I have read, they are in broken English. I did figure out the programming with little to no difficulty. There are three buttons, Memory, P+ and P- Once programmed, to quickly toggle between saved stations, simply hit the P+ or P- button and the tuner will go to the next saved station. I am amazed at how we can get a 2" speaker to sound like a 5" speaker. The radio has full-sized sound that is reminiscent of my original Panasonic which only operated on DC C cells and had a 4" speaker. The two position tone control works, actually does something. The FM sensitivity and selectivity are good. The AM sounds good, but not tested at night yet. AM seems to be good and it has above average sound as well. The weather band receives two frequencies. Overall, Initially, I am pleased with this purchase.

A mi papá le encantó, sobre todo fácil de usar (

Esperava uma qualidade melhor em sua seletividade. Uma antena externa de ondas curtas seria bem-vinda

Excelente radio. Funciona muy bien y la pila dura mucho tiempo.

I only have this radio for a short time and although I am not yet familiar with all the features that it has I can express my thoughts on a number of the options that I am using. This radio is fast becoming my constant companion and it can't be beat for such great quality at an affordable price. This compact AM/FM/ SHORTWAVE/WB radio is perfect for me. I'm up in years and my eyes are not as sharp as they once were. The large, easy to read BACKLIT DISPLAY is a great help. I have arthritis in both hands and it's difficult for me to make a fist so weight really matters. The fold down handle makes it easy for me to cradle the unit in either hand and this unit weighs less than 3lbs even with 4 "D" batteries. I really like the weather band, WB is the same as NOAA which is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I live in the northeast section of the USA and the weather here changes quickly and constantly. I always check the weather throughout the day and especially when I'm planning to leave the house. This station gives accurate up to the minute weather information for any region you're interested in. The HEADPHONE JACK comes in handy as I like to listen to shortwave stations late at night. I have listened to stations in Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, So. America and Canada, although I don't always understand what they're saying. That's when I use the SLEEP TIMER as I sometime fall asleep that late. I can set the timer for up to 90 minutes. I also use the headphones so as not to disturb others and again when I'm on the computer. I don't normally need the ANTENNA except when I'm on shortwave. I'm amazed at how many stations that I can pick up. The SEARCH feature is a great help and once I tune in on a station I use the MEMORY button to save it. (A shortwave frequency list and SHORT-WAVE.INFO is available on the internet.) A USB cord is included to charge the internal lithium battery and you can switch power from the internal battery to the "D" batteries. The display alerts to how much power is available from either source. There is also a slot for a SD card so that you can access your favorite recordings through the radio's speaker. I had to give up watching football because I don't want to pay for the high cost of subscription TV stations. When I received this radio I realized that I am able to listen to the play by play of the games in real time. I have listed some of the reasons why I really like and enjoy this radio. I suggest that when you get this radio you take the time to go through the enclosed User Manual as it is all inclusive and explains each and every feature in easy to follow detail. I highly recommend this unit and will probably have to purchase another one if my nephew doesn't stop borrowing this one.
