Review: A good value with some nice bells and whistles. - My 7 year old wanted his own radio to take when he stays overnight at a friends house. He also wanted something that would play his favorite songs at night-time. This radio fit the bill at a very reasonable price. It is a convenient size for a child - not real huge, but not too small. He takes it with him all over the house, on trips in the car, and to his friend's house whenever he wants to take his music along. Pros: *Small, but with a speaker large enough to have a good sound (for a portable) *The built in rechargeable batteries last a long time on one charge. *You can also put regular batteries in if you can't get to AC to recharge it. (They go in a separate compartment from the internal rechargeable battery.) *The built-in flashlight function was a big hit with my 70 year old son. *The USB player is an added bonus. *FM reception is clear. Not the most sensitive, but good enough. *AM reception is... well... its AM. *SW receiving bands is also an added bonus, but there isn't nearly as much on as there used to be when I was a kid. *The built-in handle is a nice feature that makes it easy for him to grab and go. Cons: *There is no display for the USB MP3 player, so it is difficult to select songs for Playback of USB/MP3. Just an "advance" or "retreat" button. *My son lost the AC/Charging cord within a week. But it is a simple AC cord and NOT a "wall-wart" supply so it will be easy to replace. *The Off/USB/Radio button is a bit stiff and tricky to operate. The Bottom line: Are there better portable radios available? Certainly. But they cost a LOT more. This is a good value with some nice extra features.
Review: Simple Radio with Modern Flare - Purchased radio to replace the one I use out on the deck. Wanted something inexpensive and sound quality that is respectable. Got it! The Radio reception seems fine and the added bonuses of rechargeable long lasting battery, USB and SD card inputs, Aux input(IPOD, MP3 etc.) and earphone output are icing. I tested the usb and found it to remember where it left off so I can use it to listen to audio books and OTR. It does not have an mp3 readout but I usually just hit play and let it go. It does not have a battery charge indicator but the instructions state 6 - 8 hrs plugged in is sufficient. Not sure what I would use the flashlight for but I guess if I am listening in the dark I can always use it to find my way to the light switch ;-) . Only had it a day but if this radio last a while I will be very happy with this purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have good reception in metal buildings, like a pole barn?**
A: If you are talking AM RECEPTION in metal building, only near window, or Windows.  FM comes in away from Windows.

**Q: Does ths also have external outlet?**
A: Radio has jack for headphones, and AUX input jack.  It comes with a power cord to allow you to operate on AC POWER plugging into wall outlet.  Cant have any D CELL BATTERIES in radio when plugged into outlet.  AC power cord is also how you charge built in rechargeable battery in radio.  Again, never have D cell batteries in radio when using AC power cord, it could rupture the batteries.  Never charge internal battery(the hidden one) more than 8 hours, with radio off. Internal battery plays a long, long time on a single charge; listening to radio or playing a devise through AUX jack.

**Q: Is there a headphone jack?**
A: yes there is! nice little radio!!!

**Q: Is the built-in plug a two-prong or three-prong?**
A: two prong--- great radio, keep out of the sun if you do not want the channel guide to melt other than that no complaints.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable, great for travels, easy to use, shortwave reception is great.
*by T***T on February 22, 2017*

Bought this for an older relative that travels out side of the USA on a frequent basis, So far loves the radio, easy to use, stays in touch with world news not just local via the shortwave bands; sound is great but not perfect, gets distorted on high volume / the internal battery and flashlight is a plus since electricity is intermittent where were it's being used. Love the fact that you can plug a USB stick or SD card full of your favorite music to enjoy a well as your phones music through the in-line 3.5 mm audio input (you need to buy a cable for this) I'm thinking of getting another one for my self too.
