Panasonic Portable AM / FM Radio, Battery Operated Analog Radio, AC Powered, Silver (RF-2400D)

This radio provides the best sound and reception of anything else I've used in the past. I keep it playing continually in my garage and I'm able to pick up a great classic country FM station I cannot pick up in any of my vehicles. I cannot say enough good things about this radio.

I've only had it one day after spending a week researching. I will update if it implodes!Originally I wanted a hand held MP3 player like the one I had (Scandisk). It (they) worked great for about 6 months and after replacing it only worked for 3 months. Finally I decided unless you want to spend over $100 to work out on you exercise equipment with music, spend time loading it off the computer etc. that maybe just a small radio would do. That's when the real work began. I read every review. I compromised big time because a sensible person wrote a great review for us partial Luddites...(G. Ritter von Olfers-Batock). The world of radio hardware is evaporating before the world of digital is fully ready. I don't want to spend time figuring out how to get music, when I used to just put the damn thing on and there it was! And that is exactly what this Panasonic does...well. I'm hoping it lasts but if it doesn't I'll just buy another ... a bargain even at $24.00...especially at $24. I have a $400 KLM 200 redwood two piece radio...the cats meow years ago...outside and inside antennas. This $24 Panasonic has a stronger clearer speaker.I only wish two things...that it was a bit smaller so I could balance it on my treadmill, and that the headphone sound was not monaural. I compromised, and am a happy camper. I'll plug the radio into the wall (yep that works, remember plugs? They don't cost you money replacing every three months like batteries) and play it off the terrific speaker built into it. It doesn't pick up AM stations all that well (but it does pick up the ones with the most ads!)....but I rarely listen to AM and it gets all the good FM stations very wll. The sound is clear as a bell, you can almost hear the violinist breathing! Now my only issue is I'm enjoying it so much in my bedroom I don't want to take it down to our "gym". BUT...it's light and portable and small enough (about the size of the old beach radios) to take it with me and put it back without a lot of effort.Almost all the MP3 type players (even the ones with hundreds of good reviews) had enough bad reviews to sound more legit than the 4 & 5 stars ones....a waste of money. I'm not that cool...gullible o rich!A BIG THANK YOU to G. Ritter von Olfers-Batock!

The Panasonic RF-2400D AM/FM transistor radio (silver) is an excellent radio. It is about 8.8 inches wide and 4.6 inches high (handle folded down). It runs on a supplied ac power cord or 4 AA batteries. The handle can be folded to the rear and it has an extendable antenna.I compared my RF-2400D to my Sony ICF-506 AM/FM radio and found the RF-400D is better in the following areas: 1. Receiving am stations---the RF-2400D picked up AM stations better than the ICF-506. 2. Has a better sound (the RF-2400D has more treble which is better for listening to AM talk shows which is what I use it for and theICF-506 has more bass). 3. Tuning dial and scale are easier to read. 4. The on/off button is easier to use. The ICF-506's tuning and volume knobs are easier to use and its sleek, black styling is better looking than the RF-2400D and it uses three AA batteries instead of the RF-2400D's four AA batteries.Overall, although I am a big Sony fan, I prefer the Panasonic RF-2400D over the Sony ICF-506 in performance.

I was in need of a radio that has good reception. The one I had didn't have good enough reception to pick up a local sports station. I thought all I needed was an internet radio but for the local NFL football game, the signal is blacked out.I bought this radio mainly because of the positive reviews here and on the internet about the radio's ability to pick up radio stations. In that area, the radio did not disappoint. When a station comes in clearly, a red led light turns on indicating that the station has a good signal. The sound on FM is amazing. The sound on AM could use some more tone but there is no way to change the tone.After doing a little research, I see that this radio is about 7 years old. But I guess it must still be good. Here is what I like and dislike of this radio:LIkes:------- does great job at picking up stations (this uses digital tuning technology)- runs on 4 aa batteries- had durable feel- red led lights up when tuning to a station that has good reception- amazing sound on FMDislikes:----------- sound on AM could use more tone but no way to adjust tone- scale for station channel is off by about 20 units (for example, the scale marker for signal at AM 1000 shows about at 980)- I prefer a knob for volume control but this uses a wheel- only gray color option (does not come in black)Overall, if you looking for a radio that has very good reception, this is worth considering.I give the Panasonic RF-2400D portable radio 4 out of 5 stars.

I am not doing a video but I just received my wonderful radio this afternoon. I cannot even begin to say how much I love this Panasonic RF-2400 D. The sound is way more than I expected. So clear. This is replacing my very expensive Bose Radio that just decided to go out to lunch. But I am okay with that.I expected this radio to be larger and I am thrilled it isn't what I expected. It is a perfect size. The handle makes it easy to grip and it folds down in the back. I like to play a radio for my Mini Aussie, Zona and her bestie, my big black manx cat, Ace aka Cat when I go to the barn.I love that this is light weight. But of course I will only put batteries in it when we go camping in my horse trailer with my horse. (We) referring to my dog and my horse. Sadly, Ace will have to stay home. He would not be happy being couped up in the trailer. He's an indoor cat.This radio is so easy to tune via a knob on the right side and the volume is also on the right. It also has a place to plug-in headphones. I love the Grey color too.

Nice radio good reception , easy to use . Travel and beach . Works great.
