Review on πŸ“» Vondior Silver Portable Battery Operated Transistor Radio – Best Reception and Longest Lasting AM FM Radio – Powered by 2 AA Batteries with Mono Headphone Socket by Jose Moran

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little radio for the price!

This is not an AM BCB DX radio but for the price it works very well. FM is good too. It's not really an analog setup, it's a digital DSP setup, but with a physical analog meter - so you can hear it lose and regain weaker signals step by step, which together with the very rough setup makes tuning a bit difficult can make. . The red "TUNE" display only makes sense for stronger stations and should not light up for weaker ones. You can pretty effectively reset stations by turning the radio, which is a good thing. On mine the markings aren't very close to the actual frequency - tuned into a station of 630kHz the display reads 700kHz. The sound is thin, as you would expect from a small speaker at this price point. For a budget radio station, however, this is excellent. I would buy this again.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
