How is its am fm reception?

Reception is great, like a giraffe, it has a super long antenna.

Will transistor radio still work inside a backpack?

Yes, this radio will play inside your backpack if turned on as you walk around unless you're down inside a bunker, then it may be hard to pick up most stations. The J-166 is a good cheap radio that has good sound.

I searched online. Here is description: DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology has forever changed the portable receiver market in so many positive ways: It’s made portable radios more affordable for consumers
