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

Awesome radio!! At first I thought it felt a bit cheap but it performs great and I love how you can switch between the internal rechargeable batt (Plays while recharging via usb) or the D batteries. The display only stays lit up for a few seconds after you change channels or whatever but that's ok cuz I'm sure it extends battery life that way. Better sound than I expected cuz the speaker is big enough to put out decent mid/bass. Very impressed!

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

Excellent FM reception; see below re AM reception. Really good stereo sound with headphones on strong FM stations. No 5-volt power module; you must supply your own--but those are common with cell phones so you may have one already (check the label for "5V" output). You can also charge it from the USB-A port on your p.c. The radio is made in China so the instruction manual is by one of the locals who is still learning English. Here's a short version of what it *should* say: 1. Plug the black power cable into your cell phone charger or your computer's USB port. You can use it right away, but allow a few hours to charge the internal battery. 2. Keep four D-cells handy to use when you don't have a.c. power--they'll last much longer than the internal battery. 3. Tap BAND repeatedly until you get the one you want, AM, FM, SW, or WX (Weather). Example: FM. 4. Tap the DOWNWARD ADJUST and UPWARD ADJUST buttons (upper right of front panel) to select the frequency of your favorite station. Or, to enter it directly, tap FREQ, enter the frequency, and tap FREQ again. Example for a station on 101.3: FREQ-1-0-1-3-FREQ. 5. To save it as your first memory, note the secondary labels over the 3, 4, and 5 buttons: MEMORY, P-, P+. Press and hold MEMORY for 3 seconds--the display will show "P" plus a number. Tap the P- button until it shows "P01" then quickly tap MEMORY again. You now have your first programmable memory, "P01." 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to select and program other stations. Save them as P02, P03, etc. 7. To select a saved memory, turn the radio on, select the desired band if necessary, then tap MEMORY followed by the two digits of the memory you want, i.e. "0-1" for the first one. 8. To quickly scan up or down from any frequency to the next receivable station, press and hold one of the ADJUST buttons. 9. The local NOAA weather frequency depends on your location. It will be between 162.40 and 162.55 mHz. Tap the BAND button to select "WX" then tap one of the ADJUST buttons until you find the strongest signal. Leave it there and the radio will return to that frequency the next time you select "WX." 10. Experiment with the antenna for improved signal strength on any station. You may find excellent reception on many stations by leaving it fully collapsed and clipped down. Keep your hand away from the antenna when testing signal strength and generally listening--your body alters the antenna's properties, and that's usually not good. 11. Re AM reception--by its nature, AM reception will be poor in mid-day and much better at night. Do your testing after sundown or in early morning. Also, be aware that the AM antenna is internal, separate from the whip antenna. Leave the whip collapsed, and rotate the radio for best reception.

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

Strong points: Signal is good, especially for FM. Long antenna. Weather Radio works fine. It's very portable. Great to have two battery sources, but you must switch the radio OFF before you switch battery source, or it gets confused. Also, D cells are obsolete; time to switch to AA, or Lithium form factor. Weak points: The buttons are very short throw, inconsistent function. Programming stations is far too difficult, as is summoning programmed stations. The programming interface is poorly designed. Phone charging: Didn't try it. Display brightness: Good, but the backlight stays on just a couple seconds. Should be at least fifteen seconds. Plus, backlight should turn on whenever you adjust the controls.
