Prunus J-05: AM FM Radio NOAA Weather Transistor Radio - Portable, Battery Operated with Excellent Reception - 3X D Cell Batteries or AC Power - Ideal for Household & Outdoor Use Review

Arrived on time, in manufacturers packaging but not as good as I expected. The sound is quite good, but it is very difficult to tune into a channel that you know the number of. The moving band is nowhere to be seen as advertised, and you actually end up with a bunch of static trying to focus on a familiar station. My next radio will definitely be digital with memory locations. The 3 "D" batteries were easy to install, but you have to remove them to play on AC. But I like how easy it is to…

The speaker has a good clean sound in all areas. I use it primarily as an emergency radio in my workshop, but AM and FM are clean and it's…

This is the weirdest radio I've ever had and I think it's because of Prunus' performance of 'analog radio' which used a DSP chip , failed miserably. If you have a strong station, it will appear on both AM and FM at 5 different points on the watch face, grouped around its broadcast frequency. Any small, underpowered stations are simply swept away by the wide coverage this Prunus J-05 radio offers to a powerful station. So forget about selectivity. When you find that little station, the mighty…

So far I've really liked the PRUNUS J-05 radio. I bought this a few months ago because I wanted a sensitive bathroom radio that could pick up a low power (100W) FM station in another city that my other radios didn't seem to pick up as easily. These other radios required a lot of fiddling to position them in exactly the right spot, which was typically an impractical location for a radio.
