This is a very nice a small AM/FM stereo analogue set, with some extra features.
FM Reception: 8/10. This is a good performer. Will pick a lot of stations, and sound will come in stereo on its 2 speakers !
RDS Display: n/a
MW Reception: 8/10. Quite sensitive, but maybe not as much as a tecsun or the ICF-SW11.
LW Reception: n/a
SW Reception: n/a
Air Band: n/a
HF Amateur bands: n/a
VHF/UHF Amateur bands: n/a
CB Band: n/a
Rechargeable Battery: Uses standard AA batteries. Cannot be recharged from the radio.
Speaker sound quality: 7/10. Clear and pleasant fm stereo sound, but lacks bass. But I just like it
Ease of use: 9/10. Very easy to use, it's an analogue set
Preset memories: n/a
MP3 Player: n/a
Bluetooth: n/a
Aux input: Yes
Solar panel: n/a
Record on SD card: n/a
Extra features: n/a
My last thoughts:
I warmly recommend this radio, for those who :
- Want a simple & light am/fm stereo (twin speakers) pocket radio which just performs well, in am and fm.
- Want an analogue pocket radio with an AUX input. Sweet
Things I don't like:
- Sound is a little bit thin (but pleasant to my ears)
