Review on 📻 PRUNUS J-982 Pocket Radio - Best Reception, AM FM Portable Transistor Radio, Battery Operated Small Walkman Radio with Headphones, Enhanced Bass - Ideal for Walking, Jogging, Camping by Jeremy Gaines

I just got one of these Prunus J-982 radios here from Revain after watching an online video review and it works great for my use . The FM tuner on an old 1980's boombox (General Sound GS-2525) I just bought used wasn't working very well (although the AM tuner was fine) so instead of disassembling it to fix the problem with Find VHF and fix it. I just used one of those J-982 radios and connected its headphone output to the line in jacks on my boombox. I now have excellent FM radio reception. I really like the small size of the J-982 because it fits perfectly in the back storage compartment of my boombox and has enough space for an audio cable and spare AAA batteries. I was concerned that the short 6" audio cable I use was too short and preventing my J-982 from picking up stations clearly, but reception is very good even though I live in a very hilly area. FM radio reception is not usually very good where I live with portable headphone radios, even with standard length headphone cables attached. found that the longer the cable, the better the FM reception in my area. I also bought an audio cable with a 3.5mm stereo headphone plug and two stereo RCA plugs from Revain here: When the very short cable was connected my J-982 had no problems listening to my favorite FM stations to recieve. was fine with the volume control set to about 3/4 of maximum. I wish there were numbers on the knob to tell exactly what level I set it to, but unfortunately you can only tell what volume it's set to with your ears. Since I never intend to listen to my J-982 through headphones, I simply drew a line on the volume control at 3/4 with a Sharpie silver permanent marker to help determine the ideal level setting. for my ghetto blaster. I didn't mention this anywhere at Revain, but the Prunus instructions that came with my J-982 list the headphone output as "15mW". The only "MW" I know from radios stands for "Medium Wave" and has absolutely nothing to do with headphone output levels. Perhaps Prunus was referring to 15 megawatts that the tiny J-982 couldn't generate. You probably meant 15 mW (milliwatts), which is the typical 10-20 mW headphone output that most home audio receivers produce. (At least that's what I read online on the subject, as I've never measured headphone output.) This tiny J-982 surprised me at how well it worked for my particular application, and even using a short audio cable from the antenna easily picks up plenty FM stations in my area. If you're looking for an easy way to add an AM/FM signal to your portable stereo in a cost-effective and space-saving way, look no further than the Prunus J-982.
