Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Listening Experience with the PANASONIC RF 562D Shortwave Transistor Radio by Erin Bowers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What an unexpectedly cool find!

I'll try to be brief but this is a fantastic radio! Excellent sensitivity on MW and SW and equally high selectivity on both. Tuning can be tricky for those not used to an analogue dial, but if you have a light touch even weak signals can be dialed in! FM is great but I rarely use it. The speaker has a full sound and is balanced. The headphone jack is truly mono and works well with single old school headphones or modern headphones with a stereo to mono adapter. The retro look is amazing although I made my own leather strap to replace the one provided. Although it worked reasonably well, it was pretty ugly and smelled like a gas station. But the slip lid is just great! I cannot recommend this little gem enough!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not the best
