Very portable emergency radio.

I carry this in my bug bag in the car with extra batteries. Used it this weekend while camping, worked well. A very small device, so portable. The antenna sticks out a few centimeters. Can get weather station and FM no problem. It also has a built-in small LED flashlight.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Everything is fine despite the bad sound

Works as expected. Reception of AM/FM/WB stations is normal. The sound isn't very good, but it's suitable for listening to the weather radio and, in some cases, voice radio. I'm not sure if you enjoy listening to music on it? The design is a little flimsy, but for such a price it's not critical. I was looking for a "road" radio that would stand up to rough handling and use. I'm not sure if it's him? It works great in a fixed location for monitoring weather forecasts.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Useless features

VERY SMALL: Weather Radios

Seems to get the NOAA stations we need and snow is in my emergency kit or occasionally taken on the road when weather conditions look or feel right for fear. VERY small, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, with a little duck antenna on top. It seemed to work great while driving and also picked up NOAA's long range alternative signal. I feel better because I have it now without any major investments as we were without power for 12 days after the sand track so we will be better prepared thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Almost OK

Nice little radio. The flashlight that came with it is great!

The included flashlight is great! After using this little radio for a couple of weeks, I found the flashlight that came with it very useful. When the radio is on, the reception seems to be better. at lower volume the reception deteriorates significantly. I really like this little radio and the ability to switch to weather stations has helped a few times this year. especially the other day when the power went out for about an hour.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Out of style

Good emergency radio for on the go.

Pros: Small, lightweight radio ideal for EDC pockets. A flashlight is useful for emergency backups. With our local weather channel, it even moved into the living rooms. The digital tuner is easy to read even in sunlight and does not deviate from the channel. Powered by 3 AAA batteries, so you can easily use rechargeable batteries. Does what it's designed for: travel well and keep you informed in emergencies. The price makes it a good choice. Cons: It's a small, lightweight, portable emergencyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Frequency

Good Compact Weather Radio

I bought this radio so I would have a portable battery operated weather radio to put in my pocket for emergencies. I have a MIDLAND WR300 weather radio for home use so I will compare it to that. The radio reception is quite impressive for such a compact radio. It's as good as the Midland weather radio mentioned above, which picks up a weather station about 30 miles away. Unlike some other cheap radios in this price range, this one has digital tuning. The radio is compact, about the size of aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Secret

This is a very good value portable radio, small and very light. Approximate dimensions: 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" x 1-1/4". It's easy to install and has decent reception on all three bands. I mainly have it for the weather alert feature Bought boating. The antenna is extended to help reception. Reception has been fine and good. This radio has a built in flashlight and an LCD display with a soft blue backlight that turns off after about 1 minute. The display is in the dark clearly visible.Also, it alwaysโ€ฆ

  • Good product for the price

Great little rugged road radio AM-FM-WX

I have a lot of radios. What I love about this radio is that it's compact, light weight, easy to use, durable and has amazing reception. It uses available AAA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are an option as the radio has a USB charging port. The radio sounds good for its size, its shape for intelligibility rather than high fidelity as it's too small to deliver much bass. There's no headphone jack on this no-fuss digital radio and while it's rechargeable, you have to include a cable and power

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Not automatic

Good FM/AM/NOAA radio in shirt pocket with LED lights

I have two of these at the moment. The one I bought last year works fine. Decent (but not great) reception and sound in a pocket-sized radio. The speaker is tiny because the device is tiny. The control buttons and digital display worked great with occasional use. There is no headphone jack, it would be nice if there was one. The block is vertical. Has a tip. Battery life is decent. Typically these units receive 2 of the 7 NOAA stations at a given location in the US (most locations are onlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
