Digital AM FM Shortwave Radio with Best Reception,4000mAh Rechargeable Portable Radio with NOAA Weather Alert, Big Speaker, Digital Tuner and Stereo Earphone,Support Micro SD Card and USB MP3 Player

This is a nice radio indeed. Instructions were easy to understand, it is very light weight and portable with internal LiIon battery, the sound quality is good and I'm very pleased with all the features. I do wish there was a little pocket somewhere to store the manual, I know I'll lose it one day. The size is reasonable, I wouldn't wish it was much smaller. I highly recommend this radio.

Fabulous radio with easy to navigate controls. A National Weather Service band is included, along with AM, FM, and other features. Power is supplied by both a LI-ION rechargeable battery, and conventional batteries and is easy to switch between the two power sources. Large display and large speaker. Headphones (not included) produce a great stereo sound. Numeric keys allow easy radio station entry, along with sleep, scan, and memory features.Probably the best portable radio ever purchased, and I own many specialty radios including amateur radios.

My first criticism is the ability to add 4D 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.

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.

Great portable radio for hurricane or disaster preparation & outdoor camping. Good reception. Easy to set up & use. Need to get another for my son who keeps borrowing it. I dropped it a few times & no damage. (Don't do that)Definitely recommend.
