Portable AM FM Shortwave Radio with Best Reception, Battery Operated by 4D Cell Batteries or AC Power, Transistor Radio with LCD Display, Time Setting, Earphone Jack, Big Speaker for Home, Elder, Gift

My work is mobile. No matter where I have gone around town this radio works wonderfully. The reception is great and the sound clear. Great volume control. It's well put together. Very solid and sturdy materials used in its construction. The size is perfect. It carries easily. It's lightweight. I feel for the quality of the radio that it was a good value. I wish I had bought it a long time ago. I've been enjoying my music and talk radio everyday now since I purchased it. I love it.

We like this radio alot for it's simplicity, convenience, and clean reception (digital tuning) in our rural location. Claimed battery life (4D bats) of 400 hours is a plus if it pans out. The fact that it has a clock is a bonus. Have used Sonys for years (three of the same model), but first impression is that this radio is equal or better at a surprisingly low price!

You know what's weird? I thought I already wrote a review on this. This turned out to be a very good receiver, with good sensitivity in the shortwave bands, which is what I got it for. The display is large and easy to read, but it is a little course in the tuning. You have to have a slow and deliberate hand to find stations with it. It uses DSP tuning so stations just 'pop in', when you hit them. With weaker stations, this can cause them to pop in and out due to skip or frequency drift. There's not really any automatic fine tuning or anything that seems to be able to remedy this with. This radio only tunes am stations in the shortwave bands, NO SSB or anything like that. However those shortwave station you find will tune in pretty well. It does exactly what it is meant to do with a little patience. The AM and FM bands are better than you might think. I can pick up AM station all over the country at night when conditions are right. The FM also has a good set of ears. I'm picking up stations all over the state that other radios don't even register. Tuner implementation is pretty good, with a strong front end, grabbing those far away signals with little trouble. The battery life on the thing is incredible. I have yet to run down my first set. I've had it a while and listen on and off. Every now and then I get the itch to see what's going on in the shortwave spectrum. It also has it's own cord and uses a linear power supply inside, so you don't get RF noise when it's plugged in. It's pretty easy to take places and is well self contained. I've taken it out camping a few times to keep track of news and weather. Plus, away from civilization, the shortwave band is really good. No AC noise from the doings of man, so to speak. I guess the last thing would be the sound quality, and I would say that for its use case, the sound is quite good. It has a proper speaker and I have had no trouble being able to hear both voice and music. Audio is quite good. Hope this helps someone.

Bought this radio to listen while working. It works really well. Sometimes I have to move it to another place within the office, in order to pick up a station, but overall, very happy with this purchase. In fact, we have purchased two. Worked so well in my office, we bought another for the wife's office. Wil probably buy a third to have at home during hurricane season. Update: We love this radio. Did buy the third for the house. Great value for the money.

The radio has a solid feel and sounds good. The digital tuning is a nice feature at this price. The radio also has a time display, but it is only visible when the radio is off. FM reception is good even with the antenna not extended. (I haven't tried AM or short wave.) As you would expect for this price, the radio does not have separate bass and treble controls but it does have a low/high switch. The user manual's explanation ("You can select High/Low tone to listen music or radio as you like") doesn't help much, but you can vary the tone with this switch. This is a good product for the price.

This radio must be the cheapest that you carry. The channel button does not go to the channel I wanted. I tried to send it back but didn't make the cut off time frame. so, I put up with it

The reception is very good and the digital format makes tuning precise. The volume is amazing and the sound is very clean. For the price this radio is a bargain. Very nice looking to boot.

What a great radio! Reception couldn't be better. I live in a multi-unit apartment house and was never able to get good reception on any electric or battery radio. Until now. Other units are push button to change volume or station, this has traditional dials. Very easy to use. No tipping problem, unit is wide enough to take the manual changes. Nice clock feature, too. I know not many people listen to radios anymore but for those who do, you won't go wrong with this choice.

Tout fonctionne! Très léger! Son convenable (sérieux je suis agréablement surpris)! Pour le prix… je recommande fortement!

Le cadran numérique est idéal pour bien choisir un poste spécifique à écouter. Le grand haut parleur et le cadran numérique avec un minimum de boutons inutiles dont on ne se sert jamais, voilà pourquoi j'ai acheter ce radio. A MON PREMIER COMMENTAIRE J'AJOUTERAIS CECI: l'inconvénient que je trouve pour ce radio c'est que l'écran n'est pas rétro-éclairé. Mais pour le reste je l'adore.

It a nice radio. However the sound quality isn’t great.

Got this for my hubby for the garage. Being in the basement, reception can be an issue, but so far so good!

parfait fonctionne très bien
