Greadio NOAA Weather Radio, AM/FM Battery Operated Transistor Portable Radio with Best Reception,Stereo Earphone Jack,Powered by 2 AA Battery for Emergency,Hurricane,Running, Walking,Home (Silver)

The quality is better than I expected. Build quality, reception and sound quality are all pretty good. The size makes it handy and easy to take anywhere. Weatherband has a good strong signal. The tuning indicator is a bit off from the channel but it's close enough to be functional. I'm glad I went analog instead of digital for tuning. Might get another to add to the emergency kit in the jeep.

I purchase Greadio radio mainly for NOAA. The tuning / reception is far above average. Super clear sound and quite loud for such a small device. AM FM WB performing above all expectations. My $175.00 Eton Elite SW (spin-off Grundig) doesn't hold a candle to Greadio for reception. It's sound is only slightly louder than Greadio and it picks up no Air and few U/LSB frequencies. Some of this can be attributed to digital encryption like scanners, virtually useless interception of police and emergency frequencies post 2001 I've generally experienced poor reception in my location being surrounded by Pine and Oak trees, however this pocket radio totally surprised me with ability to pull in all area stations. Some newbies to old style transistor pocket radios we all used in the last millennium will find design fault with the exposed dials for volume and tuning which are a minor inconvenience <imho> Greadio has succeeded in designing a high quality pocket radio incorporating their upgraded DSP chip at a bargain price.

Great little radio with complete weather data. Reception is clear and has good volume. Used frequently for football games that are not televised. Just what I wanted!

Sweet little radio, nice and portable and gets everything pretty clear no issues. Had it for a few weeks and still on the first set of batteries. Station tuning is easy and accurate. It’s nice to have in the toolbag so I can listen to sports radio on the go, and seems pretty durable. The AM is about 10 seconds ahead of the tv broadcast for local nfl games if you don’t want to listen to jabronie fox and cbs announcers.

I bought two of these for the hurricane emergency stash. One for my house and one for my mom's. Of course I checked them each before they were put in the plastic bins and I was amazingly surprised at how well they work. I had looked at another that was similar and it had complaints about the antenna pulling out. This does not have that problem. I did give it a little extra tug just to make sure I very quickly found our weather radio signal and it came in pretty clear. Then I turned it to FM and moved the dial just a tiny bit and the radio station came in clear. Definitely a good choice for an emergency stash. Normally I deal with digital only, but I read an article about the tuning dial was a better choice during an emergency. So I decided to go that way. I had no problems finding the right frequencies, these are so cheap that they should not have worked as good as they do, it looks just like it looks in the picture. Pretty simple very pragmatic. No bells and whistles which means far less to break.

This simple radio really took me back to the days before home internet and streaming services. Which is exactly why I got it. I bought this when a certain wifi speaker from a large online retailer kept timing music out for my nonverbal kid. The sound is great. The reception is clear. The operation is simple. The battery use is less than expected. Its compact and would be great for camping. This radio even looks like high tech in 1997. Plus I get to be a dork and listen to the weather forecast. If you're looking for a time tested form of entertainment get one of these.

I've enjoyed using this radio for the past week. Today I used it to listen to a Seahawks game while walking home from my job. It also has a band for NOAA weather. The instructions for use are clearly written. For the money charged, it has good features.

Works great. Light and compact.
