Wow, great sound from a small radio

I'm a radio amateur. radio amateur and such. Was looking for a small AM/FM radio. There are thousands of them. The reviews for this radio, both written and on YouTube, have been great. So for $28 I took a chance. I was surprised how clear the sound is from this 4 inch speaker! Doesn't sound like what I expected from a cheap radio. I've had a lot of radios in my life. Both big and small. This is the best little radio I've ever owned. I like that the dial has large, easy-to-read numbers. The volume control is smooth and sufficient. I usually use them with batteries as they are less of a hassle and I like the portability. The tuning was smooth and I easily found the right station. But let's talk about the reception as it is mentioned in most one star reviews. While radio receiver circuitry plays a role in reception, your reception ultimately depends on the strength of the signal or how far you are from the transmitter. AM radio transmission has a longer range than FM because it is a lower frequency and you can receive stations that are far away at night. So don't blame the radio if you're out of range of your station. One more thing about approval. The antenna above is for VHF only. An AM antenna is a coil of wire inside, so move the radio around for better AM reception and that will help. I also like that it has a tuning light. I haven't seen any of them in a long time. If the signal is good, the light will turn on. They first appeared in old radios from the 1930s as a tuning aid. There's not much noise when you tune the range, and neither during volume adjustment, which is a good sign of quality circuitry. I've always been lucky with Panasonic.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
