El radio se escucha bien, solo que debo probarlo por más días ya que tanto de AM como FM se escucha bien, de la onda corta aún debo probarla porque no he escuchado buena señal, de todo lo demás está bien, es de buenos materiales aunque no incluyen baterías para que contemplen a la hora de comprar. Lo bueno es que llegó en el rango de la fecha acordada.

It is what it is. Reception is pretty amazing for price and size. Not gonna use this at parties :) but will use it when I need a radio in my pocket or trailer.

functionality of this radio is great. Compact and power via battery or electricity (power cord bought separately). Seems to be well made and such a bargain price to be had. I like that the power is battery or electric via usb plug bought separately on Amazon. The usb gives me the option to use the radio for long periods without using the battery. Also the usb gives me the option to use when there is no electricity and I can plug it into my power bank to keep tabs on the news and weather. The station tuner dial is firm and accurate. Well designed and fully functional. I couldn’t have asked for anything better, this the real deal !

I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this radio because it was so inexpensive, but I was pleasantly surprised at the reception and loud and clear speaker.I used it recently for 3 and a half days 24 hours a day during the last hurricane, Helene when we were without power for 5 days and the batteries did not even begin to weaken until then.Radio is lightweight, easily portable, tunes in stations well.It picks up well on AM and FM bands and it has Shortwave stations as well.One of the best purchases I have made this storm season.Very good quality and low price.I'm thinking about ordering 2 more, an extra for me and one for my mother.I would not have any idea what was going on around without this radio during the storm and afterwards as the NOAA weather station was off air and I had no cell service for 2 days.

This little radio provides great value for the money. Given its low price point, there's no reason not to buy it.My experience listening in the US Midwest is this: The normal FM reception is is phenomenal. Listening through headphones and especially running a line out from the headphone jack to a quality powered speaker, the sound quality is near perfect. I would compare it to listening to recordings on CD or similar digital format. It finds stations better than my car radio or any other radio I own.AM is a different story. This is supposed to be the US 10 kHz version, but it just doesn't want to dial in as clearly as my 3rd gen GE Super Radio.SW is what I bought it for. I've not tried clipping a wire to the supplied antenna yet, but I will say I'm not blown away. For reference I can receive WRMI from Miami at my home in Iowa, but it's scratchy and just barely there. Maybe that's just the nature of shortwave these days.

Que encontré rápido el artículo. No fue como en las tiendas que me quieren vender bocinas inútiles. Esto era justo lo que quería.

This radio is well made. Not some cheap plastic dollar store junk. It is very loud and with crisp clear sound. Very loud for its size. I can hear it clearly for about fifty feet in my home. I won't have to cart it around from one room to the next so I can hear it. Just set the station I want to and let it rip. AM only picks up close local stations during the day, but more at night which is typical for AM. The stations have adequate dial in with well delineated band width. The antenna is only needed for AM and SW (which I have not tried yet and really am not interested in). It is compact, the battery compartment is snug and easy to access and fits the batteries well. They do not justle around in it all. This will be excellent to throw in the glove box of my wives' car in case of CHTF scenario or break down to save the car battery while she waits for help. It will go well in the couple small of bug out bags we have. This radio is very compact and can fit in a shirt pocket or pack pocket. I am really amazed at the sound quality. No static or bleed in the stations. I am especially satisfied with the fact that the on/ff button is separate from the volume button. Something that you would not expect in a low-cost radio. It would be awesome if it had NOAA, but for under $9.00 you cannot expect everything. I am super happy with this purchase. You will not find a better value or bang for your hard-earned buck anywhere else. This radio gets better reception than my Denon home stereo receiver does, and it cost over $2000 new (I got it second hand for much less). I will update this listing when I check out the SW channels. I do like the fact that these are preset and that there is not a jillion of them like I have seen on other models. I cannot give these guys 10 stars, but if I could, I would. The shipping was lightning fast, and it was double boxed to boot. I am going to get 2 more of these for sure. They would make great gifts for birthdays or Christmas. Man, I can say enough good things about this radio. If you are looking for a low-cost emergency or game day radio, then you absolutely need to consider this one. Am I satisfied with this radio? You bet your life I am and it might just be a God send should my life count on it in an emergency. It is all analog easy to use and looks like it is way more expensive a model than it is. Ruggedly made and will last if one keeps it out of direct sun which is not known to be very nice to plastic over time. You have to buy this radio if you are in the market for one. Later: I used the SW bands. During the day is best for this radio for this band something I expected just the opposite. Nighttime decreased my options for reliable stations with no bleed out. Move it to the number on SW band and then use the dial to find a station you want to listen to. Some of the bands provide clear stations by the boat load. Some have nothing on them. It does add to the stations you have at hand to listen to. Most of them are talk radio stations...Spanish or religious stations. It definitely expands the radio stations you can listen to. I have used earphones with this, and it is stereo, and the sound quality depends on the ear buds or phones you use. I do imagine they will decrease the battery life. I bought three more of these to use as gifts, and sent one to a friend.
