A must have
Very good product at a great price. A must for any home or auto emergency kit! The Little Radio That Could..... Well worth the small amount of money..... good play time for the amount of cranking. Reception in FM and AM is pretty decent. Shortwave will be disappointing for someone expecting to "listen to the world" when using the supplied whip antenna. However, using a single wire antenna clipped to the whip antenna will yield pretty decent results in the shortwave bands. Build quality is actually surprisingly good for the low cost of the item. The red color shown in illustrations doesn't do justice to the actually deep red (ruby?) color. The plastic has that new "soft feel" (like a silicon skin almost). Dynamo crank is solid, knobs, etc. are solid as well. Tuning is problematic with this and any other small radio with a short band spread. Band separation is acceptable, but not great. This is a great radio to use at the beach, keep in your car trunk, or have available for any emergency that might arise. Recommended if you want a great emergency or beach radio. Good little radio This a good little radio. I initial bought this radio for my storm shelter. I took it out to check it and make sure everything was working. I liked it so much it ended up on my desk in my study. It has a small footprint, so it works great on my little desk. It also has good AM reception. I ended up buying a second Grundig for the storm shelter. Radios Works great, If you need a non-electric radio this on will work fine. Merchant sent it to me as promised with no problems Great Emergency Radio (Fine tunes the station) I use it all the time. I think I changed batteries twice(4AA) in 3 years. Plus, it has its own lithium battery in emergency. If you don't have AA batteries. You wind it up a few times and it can play for a long period of time. Its also sturdy! I dropped it once. It still plays well. Only a small chip from hitting the pavement. Its great when you sit in the car waiting for someone. You don't need to use your car battery. | |
