Portable AM/FM Radio, Battery Operated Analog Radio, AC Powered, Silver (RF-2400D)

So I see a bunch of other radios that are 100% identical to this one on amazon. They run a bit cheaper, but look the same. I went with the name brand version even though other companies probably just stamp their name on it at the same factory. So maybe go with one of its identical predecessors if you are tight on funds. Anyway, the radio is very very loud for its size. It's a little smaller than a loaf of bread. The power cable is very tight when inserting it into the radio so be cautious when doing so. The signal never drops, due to the large antenna. If you are looking for a nice radio for a good price this one is worth it.

Perfect. Reminds me of the good old days. Loud and great sound. Its not Dolby Atmos but it definitely does the job. Simple to operate and very portable.

I've had this radio for years. It still sounds and works as great as the day it arrived. This is the perfect garage/office/kitchen radio that sits up on a shelf out of the way. Stations come in crystal clear on both the AM and FM side of the dial. The volume and sound quality are both great. Using it is simple. Turn it on when you want it on. Turn it off to turn it off. There are dials for volume and tuning. A button allows you to switch between AM or FM. That's it. The tuning knob has surprisingly delicate touch and sensitivity, allowing you to really "dial in" the station, an experience that is lost with digital tuners and often overlooked on cheaper analog models. It's probably the radio's best feature, alongside its sound quality. Admittedly, it's not the most feature-packed radio. In addition to no digital tuner, there are also no memory banks to save stations. No sleep function or alarm. No Bluetooth or SD card slot. Good! You probably don't need any of that and models that try to pack every imaginable feature into one small radio often don't do any of them very well. The interface becomes complicated or tedious to use. They also burn through battery life unnecessarily. You just want to listen to news, tunes or talk and that's what this does. Probably the fanciest thing about it is that you can use it either plugged in or pop in some batteries and take it with you to the park or on a road trip. It works great either way. Good value. Highly recommended.

I got this so my little anxious dog can have something to listen to while I'm out at work. I usually leave it on the jazz or classical music channel. When I leave it works fine, and volume is a little on the lower side so as to not disturb my neighbors. When I come back from work, however, it's as if the volume dial is loose and moves down. The station has a lot of static noise despite being fine in the morning, and the sound starts going in and out. It doesn't seem to do this when I leave for work in the morning however. Everything sounds fine. To be honest, I probably just forgot how radios work or are supposed to sound haha.

I've had my radio for less than 24 hours so I cannot speak about durability. But I LOVE it so far! I'm 70 yrs young and I spend my days gardening in my big yard April to October. I like to listen to NPR or oldies music while I work. Dragging around a 100-ft extension cord has been tiresome during the last year. My similar, 28-yr-old battery-operated radio (paid $8 new) finally died last year. I've been looking for a replacement. I wanted a SIMPLE radio that could run on AA rechargeable batteries so I could always have a spare set charged. I wanted a large dial display, with a large tuning knob (NOT tiny buttons that take forever to tune and hurt my fingers) and a volume wheel (instead of those nasty little buttons). I wanted analog. I did not want Bluetooth, alarms, CD player, etc. Just an old-fashioned portable radio I could carry around—larger than an iPhone (so I can set it on the ground) yet lightweight, with a large handle, good, large speaker .This Panasonic RF-2400 is perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. I called Panasonic to ask a question and they have not made this radio since 2001 but told me there's no reason why Amazon's stock would not be good. IF you bought this radio and love it, you might want to buy another while Amazon still has stock. When I googled battery-operated portable radio, all the links were for boom boxes with CD players, Smart Phone chargers, Bluetooth and other things I don't need. Also, most of these radios had permanent, built-in batteries. If the battery ran out of juice, you'd have to plug it into a wall outlet and wait hours for it to recharge. So much for progress in the portable radio business. Other "portable" radios were solar and crank powered. The batteries on most didn't store the energy and died after 1-2 hours. I paid $110 + tax for a portable Sangean radio with both solar and internal rechargeable battery. It was also supposed to be a great weather band, short wave radio. Charger was missing. NEVER received anything but static from the short wave mode. Never got a weather band station, and the battery died after 1 hour. Seller never responded to my requests to return it. I also bought a little crank & solar radio, an Ambient Weather Adventurer radio. Piece of junk. Ran less than one hour and wouldn't recharge. That was an expensive piece of junk, too $83 plus tax. Unresponsive seller. My Panasonic has great sound--very clear and strong. I live in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, about a mile from a small airport. This radio does not get any interference from either airport or mountains. It pulls in stations that are 70-100 miles away for more. LOVE it! I hope it continues to work this well for many years.

I was initially hesitant to buy this because of the price (just shy of $50) for an analog tuner but honestly this is probably the best quality radio I’ve ever owned. I bought this to play as background music for my cats, set to the classical music station, and the reception is perfect! Every station comes in perfectly clear and crisp. The volume can go up quite high and the controls are easy and straight forward. It’s also nice that you can use it with batteries if you want to bring it outside or use in power outage situations. Highly recommend!

I bought the black Panasonic RF-2400-K to listen to music and talk radio while doing my daily cleaning and chores around the house, and it has quickly become one of my favorite purchases. I've tried several radios over the years, but this one stands out for a simple reason: it just works. The tuning is easy, the sound is surprisingly full and loud for its size, and it's portable enough to carry from room to room without being a hassle. The size is perfect. It's small enough to sit on a kitchen counter, bookshelf, or laundry room shelf without taking up much space, but it's not so tiny that it gets lost or feel flimsy. I can easily carry it from the kitchen to the laundry room or out to the garage when I'm working on projects. The built-in speaker gets plenty loud for vacuuming, washing dishes, folding laundry, or cleaning the house. I also love the old-school analog tuning dial. No apps, no Bluetooth pairing, no updates, and no complicated menus. Just turn it on, find a station, and enjoy. There's something refreshing about a radio that focuses on doing one thing well. What I appreciate most is the combination of size, portability, and volume. It's compact enough to take anywhere around the house, yet powerful enough that I can hear it clearly while I'm busy with daily chores. For me, that's exactly what a good portable radio should be. If you're looking for a small, portable, loud, and reliable radio for everyday use, I think this is one of the best options available. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy it again!!

I almost ordered another Amazon Echo, but I decided to buy this Panasonic radio in an attempt to help soothe a little dog that we adopted. I didn’t really appreciate how cool it actually is until I started using it. It has good sound and a classic, utilitarian design. There’s also something incredibly satisfying about using the antenna and dials.

This compact wall/battery powered single 4" speaker radio has great tone and volume control for its compact size. The digital FM lock keeps fiddly stations in tune and steady volume. Battery power apparently is long-lasting (not tested yet), so the radio is portable and works in power-failures! Tuning is easy and obvious with a highlighted bar and locks well. The volume, around the side and behind the tuning know is a bit of a nuisance as is the sliding on/off-FM-AM 'switch" which is a single glider above the tuner frequency bar, which takes getting used to because the radio is not heavy and one-handed on/off, FM, AM control takes a bit of practice. However, compared with radios generally, it is a bargain and a very good quality unit that works well even with weak radio signals.

One of the best gadget purchases I've made in recent years. Expensive but worth every rupee I paid. Tidy, compact, elegant design. Lightweight yet feels sturdy enough. Nice big tuning knob but, more importantly, good signal reception. Relative to the size of the unit itself the speaker is surprisingly powerful and clear. It is made for the US market so the AC power cord is no use here unless you have a step-down transformer and plug adapter. But this was not a concern for me since portability is important for me, so I only use this with batteries anyway. Would've been great if it had short wave. Can't have everything, I guess. I wish I'd found this radio earlier instead of messing around with cheaper, inferior products.

Este radio se lo regalé a mi mamá hace dos años y sigue funcionando perfectamente, es sencillo y práctico, sintoniza AM y FM sin problemas, pero hay que hacer enfasis en que siendo para una persona mayor que aún utiliza mucho el AM no ha decepcionado, el sintonizador es tan bueno o un poco mejor que un radio sony antiguo de casette que aún usa mi mamá, tanto que no tiene problema entre usar este o su viejo sony sin distinciones. El sonido de la bocina es agradable, no tiene agudos molestos, ni los graves son molestos, el sonido dominante es en los medios lo cual es perfecto, un sonido que no cansa al oido. La calidad del material es plástico pero de buena resistencia, no es ese plástico que apenas lo aprieta y rechina, este es bien sólido de calidad. Utiliza 4 pilas doble A que duran bastante, mi mamá usa 4 pilas de las recargables de 2000mah cada una, y duran más de un mes a veces dos, también se puede utilizar con un cable directo a enchufe como el de la plancha si es que no se quiere usar pilas, ese cable venía incluido. En fin no sé qué más decir, un producto redondo, más que probado, es tan simple que es dificil encontrarle algún detalle, tal vez por quejarme es que hay marcas chinas que incluyen lector de tarjetas o usb pero esos radios son muy corrientes, prefiero que sea simple y de calidad a que tenga muchas cosas y no haga bien ni la mitad.

صوته واضح ورائع جداً 👌
