GPX Weatherx WR282B Weather and Alert Radio (Black)

I have this portable radio for myself and my son is always borrowing it to bring out by the pool. His birthday is this month so I decided to buy him his own. Now I have several other similar portable radios but non work as well as this one. I could have purchased a less expensive radio but why take the chance when this one is small, lite weight, tunes in nicely and has a very good battery life. Well worth the money.

I owned this radio for many years and loved it since it was the only one that I could take to the woods and could get stations and weather clearly. After it broke this past year I ordered another one - when it arrived I noticed the dial was very hard to turn the frequency selected didn't match what I wanted. So I returned it and ordered it again from another seller -- the dial worked fine but the analog settings were awful. If I wanted to play FM station 96, you had to set the dial to 92...…..the settings are way off. At first I thought I received a bad radio (it happens) but when the second one arrived and had the same issue, I knew then it was not a fluke. It's also being returned. If you don't care the analog slide is way off, it's a good radio but if you're out of town and unfamiliar with the local stations, it's not worth it. Spend the extra money and get something else.

Radio gets fantastic reception. Picks up all my favorite radio stations. The weather feature is a nice bonus. Sound is very clear and powerful audio range. The radio is easy to use, the dial is easy to see. I like the MP3 adaptability. It runs on battery or electricity. Very portable and lightweight. Would be great for home, camping, the beach - wherever you may want a radio. Looks nice, good size and lightweight but not flimsy. Nice clean lines - looks nice and works great.

Finally had a storm go thru to pull this out of the box. It performs well for it's design. It's not powerful but I can understand the broadcast.

For our purposes, this radio was a great purchase. Needed one for news and weather primarily- and it fits the bill.The great price was a bonus. Using with batteries because it looks nicer on the bathroom counter. 👍

The size and features of this radio were what I was looking for, however, the tuner is very hard to turn. When dialing in a station there is a high tuning wheel-to-tuner ratio which makes finding a station more difficult. I bought this for my father who really wanted the weather station feature, but was having extreme difficulty tuning in a station and when a station was tuned in, the radio would drift off station. Even though this radio is cheaply priced, I returned it due to the frustration of tuning in a station.

Es una buena inversión , no pesa y es facil de manejar.Compre uno para mi y me gusto tanto que ordene dos adicionales para regalar a mi esposo y a mi amiga.

Cheap radio casing. Off-on dial poor switch.
