Greadio Portable Shortwave Radio with Best Reception,AM FM Transistor,LCD Display,Time Setting,Battery Operated by 4 D Cell Batteries or AC Power,Big Speaker,Earphone Jack for Gift,Elder,Home

I purchased one of these radios November of last year. I have had no troubles with it at all. I purchased this same one again a few days ago to take to my office. I liked the first one so thought this would be a wise choice. I have had no troubles at all with it. Sound is good, receives lots of stations clearly. Great little radio. I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for a small portable device.

I got this radio for my mom, whom I'm the caregiver for. She hates TV and lives the talk radio stations. The other radio she had was nothing but static and hard to tube. This is a great size, lightweight and small footprint. It's so easy to tune and read. There is no static and the voices come in loud and clear, not funny or mumbled like her last radio. It's a simple design which is perfect for my elderly mom, few buttons and dials. It took her just a minute to figure it out. This is my 4th try at finding the perfect radio. I sent 3 back but this one is a keeper. Quality, built to last and easy operation, clear and loud.

Works ok but the reception is not great of you are long distance from station. Doesn't consume batteries verý fast

I live in a basement apartment and I was so very happy with this radio and amazed at how well the sound comes through for us. This is a great product and the sound is fantastic.

Like the audio quality. Picks up stations pretty well, actually the FM is slightly more sensitive than my truck radio.Mine arrived with the antenna wire broken off inside the radio so no FM until it opened it up and resoldered it back on. They really should have put a drop of glue on the wire to hold it secure to the PCB. No worries though, it works great now. I use it in my shop to listen to NPR on FM at a distance of about 60 mi from the station. With a little fiddling with the exact position of the antenna it comes in full quieting. Keep in mind though that I live on top of a bluff and nothing stands between me and the transmitter.Good radio. I'd recommend it. If you do have trouble with the FM and are handy with the soldering iron, it's probably the wire come off. Otherwise I'd send it back because I'm pretty sure I voided my warranty :)

This is a larger size portable AM/FM radio. It is simple and easy to use with a large speaker and a large LCD digital display of the frequency. The reception is great. It has a long telescoping antenna. It also displays the time, which is very easy to set. I first purchased another portable radio that was advertised as having good reception but all but a few of the FM stations were weak with popping and it pulled in no AM stations. This radio in the same location pulls in a great many clear FM stations and many AM stations. It also has great volume. Highly recommended.

UPDATE May 25, 2023For a while, I've tuned "blind" for local AM/FM stations. This morning, the radio went totally went dead. What a piece of Chinese JUNK! AVOID!UPDATE November 14, 2022 -The digital frequency/clock display has just died (cannot see). At times, you can see if faintly if you view it 'off axis' as in looking up from the bottom of the radio. I will consider this a piece of Communist Chinese junk unless the seller reads this and offers a replacement. I looked all over for a "ask seller a question" like but to no avail. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!Well, it works and sounds pretty good. This unit picks up local AM and FM radio stations. The short-wave section also picks up stations but exhibits interference from out of band signals, which is strange because we have few if any strong signals that would cause such problems. This radio is easy to operate. I note that the frequency counter (the digits on the front panel that attempts to show you the frequency the radio is tuned to) is not very accurate. For example, when listening to a local station on 730 AM, when the station is properly tuned in/sounds best, the digital readout says 732. I noticed the same thing on FM where 95.3 sounds better when tuned to 95.4.This radio is advertised as a "DSP" radio. I'm sure it is but it sure is a cheap/faulty implementation of digital signal processing. Case in point is seen when trying to listen to weak stations. When trying to listen to a station on 800 KHz, this radio involuntarily shifts between two or three competing signals. I can't tell whether these are on adjacent frequencies (like 790 and 810) or the radio is gathering samples from multiple signals on the same frequency. My read is that this radio uses a very poor DSP chip. It would have been far better to use a more conventional superheterodyne circuit, although that might cost more to implement these days.Would I buy this radio again? No! Should you buy it, probably, but it's really not a great bargain. I notice other radios without the digital readout for $10 less. They'd probably work just as good.

This is an okay radio for the price, if you live in an urban environment where radio signals are strongest. I live in an exurb of the ATL which results in this unit breathing hard to bring in most signals, especially on the AM or the other band widths.But, you get what you pay for as we all know. For just over $20, it’s about what I expected. Also after putting in 4 Class D batteries, it failed to turn on, requiring a plug in with no instructions on how to power on in any mode. That’s shady treatment by the manufacturer.I recently bought a Bose Wave used radio that had none of these issues but the Bose was 10x more expensive so again without repeating myself. Why did I buy this radio you ask?I figured it to be a nice option to have available if the power goes out or God forbid, a national emergency. Maybe the batteries will work sans a plug in. I am charging it overnight to see if that’s a remedy but am not optimistic.So, buyer beware or buyer be advised. Your choice as I’m good with either advisory .
