Review on πŸ“» PowerBear Portable Radio - AM/FM, Battery Operated with Long Range Reception for Indoor, Outdoor & Emergency Use - Speaker & Headphone Jack (Silver) by Laurie Fisher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprisingly good tuning

I wanted an inexpensive, lightweight radio for AM/FM calls. This radio is great! As a bonus, it *looks* included with AFC (Auto Frequency Control/Auto Fine Tuning). I didn't find this in the documentation, but the behavior is similar to AFC. Tune into a station using the analogue dial and if it's free it appears to stay that way (locked) until you tune into another station. Surprisingly good AM and FM clarity. The speaker quality is what you would expect from a small/cheap radio, but it delivers enough volume to be heard in a room. Definitely worth the price.

Pros
  • Battery operated: *Requires 2 x AA batteries* (not included) The radio is battery operated and lasts over 800 hours. Great for indoors, outdoors or for emergencies
Cons
  • Very expensive
