JP-1 AM/FM 2 Band Portable Radio AC operated or operated by dry battery ("D" Size x 4pcs, battery not included), black

The TakTung JP-1 AM FM portable radio enters the realm of the Sony ICF-19 and Panasonic RF-2400D. Does it have the moxie to compete against these giants? or should it crawl back into it's brown box? Let's find out.Search the model and my name on YouTube for a full, in-depth presentation.Features I like about this radio:Great sounding audio, very mellow.Tone Control Switch.AC operation.Uses four D cell batteries for DC operation. Expect long run times.Easy to use controls.FM reception is decent.Inexpensive.Built in handle.Included AC cord.Power LED indicator.AM band is usable.Features that could be improved on:More selectivity, this radio favors stronger stations.Better volume control. You need to turn it way up on the AM band.Overall this radio gets a buy rating when the price is near or under the Sony 506 or 19, any higher and I would choose to save for the Sony ICF-506. If you don't need AC power, the Sony ICF-19 will be the better choice.The JP-1 is solid radio on locals and semi locals. One of the easiest to use radios on the market.

Well made controls and sounds great! Only negative is such a cheap thin body/case... if it hits the ground its done for or will be duct taped. For $40 I expected something nicer really. I bought it for my horse barn so we could turn it on and tune easily in the dark without having to read a display in poor lighting. And for my purposes it's great. I actually tied it up to prevent it from accidental dropping because that surely would be the end of it. But it sounds great so make your own conclusion.

Price was ok. The volume control is very quiet until you get almost all the way to the furthest loud point, then it gets pretty loud. Kind of janky but works for the purpose of a radio for the garage when im out tinkering.

I use the AM/FM 2 Band portable radio to listen to my favorite radio stations where ever I go, whether in the house or out side the house. I really have enjoyed it ! The sound is great and the radio arial allows me to get some stations in better.

fine device,,no probs with the order.

We've been using this on a daily basis for 2 months and are quite happy with it. The sound is decent, it's easyto carry it to different areas of the house and we do not get any cross over or fading out or the fuzzy soundlike we had from our other one which cost a lot more than this one. I think this is a very decent radio for the priceand would definitely purchase again.

This radio was great. Sounds like a stereo

Wife uses in office at work. Loves it.
