Review on Compact Horologe AM FM Pocket Radio: Portable Alarm Clock with Alarm, Radio, Stereo Mode & Battery Included by Marcus Block

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little radio.

This is a great little radio. I think it's great that the VHF antenna is actually built into the wrist strap, which is not visible in the product image. Unlike some other tiny FM radios, this one also has a speaker. Works great with 2 AAA batteries. The only downside I've found is that all presets (and the time you set) are lost when you change batteries. I even tried changing the batteries in quick succession. Vain. All presets, alarms and set times have been lost. I don't really care since my smartphone provides my alarm clocks, time, etc. I bought it mainly for FM around the house and it's perfect. The antenna does not extend or break. Headphones are not supplied with the device. And headphones that cost five times the price of this FM radio sound great with it. The radio only weighs about 3 ounces with batteries, and you'll hardly notice it in your shirt pocket. A. You can also control it by 3V jack, but the power adapter is not included. Like a tiny VHF radio. This radio has better reception than my Sandisk video. I love it so much I'm ordering a second one to use with my hearing impaired home theater FM transmitter. I have nothing to do with this company and paid for my device myself. Great price at $20! Now if the default settings were retained when changing batteries, had a HF connection to the PLL and the ability to connect an external HF antenna, this would be the PERFECT Grundig killer for around $45.
