Review on πŸ“» PRUNUS J-401 Digital Radio Portable: Enhanced Shortwave, AM FM Tuner with MP3 Player, Recording & Lyric Display – Rechargeable, Double Speakers - AUX & TF Card Support by Tutan Dennard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little all-band portable radio and more!

This is a small multi-band radio receiver (AM, FM, SW) that is battery powered (plug it into your phone's charger). Setup is easy and the display is large and clear. Sound quality is respectable for the size, and there's a microSD card slot so you can listen to audiobooks or music. The battery life on a single charge lasts for more than a day in the office and although I usually use FM, I tinker with 80 meters of audio in the morning until dawn and enjoy foreign stations. There are a few more interesting features: 1- There is a microphone on the radio for microSD input if you want to save information. 2 - VHF has an additional 4 meter band to reflect sales in Eastern Europe where this band is active. There is also a small but dedicated group of radio amateurs in this band, although I don't think the FM setting is particularly good for listening to them. Frequencies you hear frequently. The manual is clear and explains these different functions. I use a long wire antenna with a SW hearing aid. I don't use this device to listen to amateur radio because it's just not designed for that. For a budget radio, this is a great device to take anywhere you want to stay connected. I sincerely recommend it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
