My first criticism is the ability to add 4 D batteries. If it were up to me, there would be a choice to add 18650 button top batteries. I bought those and a charger to charge them to use with another radio. My next criticism is the slow charging of the internal batteries. It would be nice to be able to use my cell phone charger and charge the batteries quickly. I had to buy a slow 1 amp charger just to charge my radios. I would also like to have folder navigation of the songs on the card, like the Retekess v115 has. I would also like separate volume and power switches. Of course these changes would increase the price. The question is by how much. If it could still be $50 or less, these changes would imo be well worth it. So far my favorite cheap radios are this one, the Retekess v115, the Boespatr 003 , and the Semier sm 817. While the 003 has navigation by flle number only, I like its sound quality. I like the sm817 for its ability to use a 18650 button top battery.

I only have this radio for a short time and although I am not yet familiar with all the features that it has I can express my thoughts on a number of the options that I am using. This radio is fast becoming my constant companion and it can't be beat for such great quality at an affordable price.This compact AM/FM/ SHORTWAVE/WB radio is perfect for me. I'm up in years and my eyes are not as sharp as they once were. The large, easy to read BACKLIT DISPLAY is a great help. I have arthritis in both hands and it's difficult for me to make a fist so weight really matters. The fold down handle makes it easy for me to cradle the unit in either hand and this unit weighs less than 3lbs even with 4 "D" batteries.I really like the weather band, WB is the same as NOAA which is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I live in the northeast section of the USA and the weather here changes quickly and constantly. I always check the weather throughout the day and especially when I'm planning to leave the house. This station gives accurate up to the minute weather information for any region you're interested in.The HEADPHONE JACK comes in handy as I like to listen to shortwave stations late at night. I have listened to stations in Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, So. America and Canada, although I don't always understand what they're saying. That's when I use the SLEEP TIMER as I sometime fall asleep that late. I can set the timer for up to 90 minutes. I also use the headphones so as not to disturb others and again when I'm on the computer. I don't normally need the ANTENNA except when I'm on shortwave. I'm amazed at how many stations that I can pick up. The SEARCH feature is a great help and once I tune in on a station I use the MEMORY button to save it. (A shortwave frequency list and SHORT-WAVE.INFO is available on the internet.)A USB cord is included to charge the internal lithium battery and you can switch power from the internal battery to the "D" batteries. The display alerts to how much power is available from either source.There is also a slot for a SD card so that you can access your favorite recordings through the radio's speaker.I had to give up watching football because I don't want to pay for the high cost of subscription TV stations. When I received this radio I realized that I am able to listen to the play by play of the games in real time.I have listed some of the reasons why I really like and enjoy this radio. I suggest that when you get this radio you take the time to go through the enclosed User Manual as it is all inclusive and explains each and every feature in easy to follow detail. I highly recommend this unit and will probably have to purchase another one if my nephew doesn't stop borrowing this one.

I wanted a "transistor" type digital radio I could put on top of my microwave in the kitchen to play throughout the day. I've been through many smaller models already, and they all basically turned out to be cheaply made crap that died within a year. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but this radio is much bigger and I love it because it's more stable and has a bigger sound, somewhere in between the tinny-ness of small radios and a boom box. The reception is good and I pick up at least 25 stations. Volume control was a biggie for me because all my other radios were digitally controlled and way too loud at the lowest setting. This one uses a knob so you have complete control over how loud or soft you want it. Switching between memory stations is not what you would assume, so it's best to read the manual first. It's not difficult, just different. Would highly recommend this radio - a good value overall for the money.

This radio offers excellent versatility with AM, FM, SW and NOAA bands all available in one compact unit.The digital tuning system is precise and allows to quickly find and lock onto stations without any hassle. The digital display is bright and easy to read, even in low-light conditions.For a radio of this size, the sound quality is more than adequate. The audio is clear, with good volume and decent bass. It’s perfect for casual listening. Plus, there’s a headphone jack to enjoy your favorite music without disturbing others.The battery life is another standout feature. It runs on regular DD batteries or a built-in rechargeable battery 4000 mAh to use it for hours without worrying about frequent replacements. This is especially useful in areas without easy access to power sources.This digital AM FM Shortwave Radio is an excellent value. It’s a reliable and flexible device that delivers clear reception and great portability.Pros:- AM, FM, SW, NOAA- Accurate digital tuning- Compact, portable design- Good sound quality for its size- Long battery life

This is a very nice, compact radio that has a lot of great features. It runs on either 4 D-cell batteries or the rechargeable battery. It can receive a range of signal types including the usual AM and FM radio stations, weather bands and short wave. It can also be set to turn off after a certain amount of time with the sleep feature. Music that you may have on an SD card or USB drive can also be played using this radio. Nice for the money - light and compact and portable.
