Digital AM FM Shortwave Radio with Best Reception,4000mAh Rechargeable Portable Radio with NOAA Weather Alert, Big Speaker, Digital Tuner and Stereo Earphone,Support Micro SD Card and USB MP3 Player

I only have this radio for a short time and although I am not yet familiar with all the features that it has I can express my thoughts on a number of the options that I am using. This radio is fast becoming my constant companion and it can't be beat for such great quality at an affordable price.This compact AM/FM/ SHORTWAVE/WB radio is perfect for me. I'm up in years and my eyes are not as sharp as they once were. The large, easy to read BACKLIT DISPLAY is a great help. I have arthritis in both hands and it's difficult for me to make a fist so weight really matters. The fold down handle makes it easy for me to cradle the unit in either hand and this unit weighs less than 3lbs even with 4 "D" batteries.I really like the weather band, WB is the same as NOAA which is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I live in the northeast section of the USA and the weather here changes quickly and constantly. I always check the weather throughout the day and especially when I'm planning to leave the house. This station gives accurate up to the minute weather information for any region you're interested in.The HEADPHONE JACK comes in handy as I like to listen to shortwave stations late at night. I have listened to stations in Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, So. America and Canada, although I don't always understand what they're saying. That's when I use the SLEEP TIMER as I sometime fall asleep that late. I can set the timer for up to 90 minutes. I also use the headphones so as not to disturb others and again when I'm on the computer. I don't normally need the ANTENNA except when I'm on shortwave. I'm amazed at how many stations that I can pick up. The SEARCH feature is a great help and once I tune in on a station I use the MEMORY button to save it. (A shortwave frequency list and SHORT-WAVE.INFO is available on the internet.)A USB cord is included to charge the internal lithium battery and you can switch power from the internal battery to the "D" batteries. The display alerts to how much power is available from either source.There is also a slot for a SD card so that you can access your favorite recordings through the radio's speaker.I had to give up watching football because I don't want to pay for the high cost of subscription TV stations. When I received this radio I realized that I am able to listen to the play by play of the games in real time.I have listed some of the reasons why I really like and enjoy this radio. I suggest that when you get this radio you take the time to go through the enclosed User Manual as it is all inclusive and explains each and every feature in easy to follow detail. I highly recommend this unit and will probably have to purchase another one if my nephew doesn't stop borrowing this one.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased this digital AM/FM shortwave radio, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The compact design makes it easy to carry around, and it’s perfect for my sons room.Sound Quality: The audio clarity is impressive, especially for a radio of this size and price point. The reception is excellent on both AM and FM bands, and I was pleasantly surprised by the shortwave capabilities. I've been able to pick up stations from around the world, which adds a fun element to my son's listening experience. The Radio also can accept an SD card, however I did not test this function.**Battery Life:** The 4000mA rechargeable lithium battery is a game-changer. I’ve been using it for several hours, and it still has plenty of juice left. The ability to recharge is super convenient and environmentally friendly. You can also use regular D cell batteries, so you can have back up power if you run out.**User-Friendly:** The digital display is clear and easy to read, with a red back light. Tuning into stations is simple, and I appreciate the presets for my favorite channels.**Portability:** Its lightweight and compact size make it perfect for camping trips or just relaxing in the backyard. I plan to use his radio for camping trips coming up this summer.Overall, I highly recommend this radio to anyone looking for a reliable. cost friendly and versatile listening option. It offers fantastic value for the price and has quickly become one of my favorite gadgets!

My first criticism is the ability to add 4D batteries. If it were up to me, there would be a choice to add 18650 button top batteries. I bought those and a charger to charge them to use with another radio. My next criticism is the slow charging of the internal batteries. It would be nice to be able to use my cell phone charger and charge the batteries quickly. I had to buy a slow 1 amp charger just to charge my radios. I would also like to have folder navigation of the songs on the card, like the Retekess v115 has. I would also like separate volume and power switches. Of course these changes would increase the price. The question is by how much. If it could still be $50 or less, these changes would imo be well worth it. So far my favorite cheap radios are this one, the Retekess v115, the Boespatr 003 , and the Semier sm 817. While the 003 has navigation by flle number only, I like its sound quality. I like the sm817 for its ability to use a 18650 button top battery.

We have several radios and this is the only one that gets AM channels in the basement. It is a little heavy with all of the D batteries but this makes it more sturdy and hard to knock over.
