J-166 Portable Radio AM FM, Battery Powered Radio | Tuning Light, Back Clip, Layard, Excellent Reception, AM FM Radios Portable, Transistor Radios

A minha deceção foi completa ao experimentar o rádio Prunus J-166. Na bamda Am, no local onde resido (Cascais - Portugal) capta apenas uma estação e deficientemente. Em FM é apenas um pouco menos mau. Havia rádios a um terço do preço, com boas referências, mas como ele se destina a um Kit de sobrevivência, quis comprar algo que eu pensava que seria de alta qualidade, e foi com esse intuito queme dispûs um preço muito mais alto. Afinal sucedeu exatamente o inverso.

The PRUNUS J-166 Portable Radio is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or wants to stay prepared during emergencies. It’s compact, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use—perfect for camping, hiking, or keeping in your emergency kit. What impressed me most is the excellent reception on both AM and FM bands, even in remote areas. The tuning light makes it easy to lock onto stations quickly, and the back clip is a smart touch for hands-free use while moving around. Since it's battery-operated, you don't have to worry about charging it—just pop in some AA batteries and you're good to go. This makes it incredibly reliable during power outages or when you're off the grid. Whether you're a nature lover, prepper, or just want a dependable radio for peace of mind, the PRUNUS J-166 is a fantastic choice. Durable, affordable, and highly functional—this little radio delivers big time!

Excelente producto, muy lindo y funciona a la perfección. Llegó a tiempo

I picked up this little radio for a recent camping trip in WV. The signal in my previous one was often spotty there and went through batteries quickly, but this one was amazing! The signal was clearer and I had it on about 48 hours non-stop as we were having severe weather and I wanted to stay updated on storm warnings. I took spare batteries just in case but these are still on the first set and going strong. The price and size are great as well. Perfect addition for day to day use, traveling, and to add to an emergency kit. I highly recommend this radio!

I've been aware that I need an emergency radio on hand, but have been overwhelmed by the options. This one looked like a minimum viable solution (which is my key criterion for prep stuff). Knowing that a cheap radio might could be so poorly made that it isn't useful, I took a chance and bought one to evaluate. I'm glad I did. I've been testing it now for several days. This little radio was so all-around good that I decided to write a detailed review. This is voluntary, unpaid and unprompted. Summary- I'm convinced so far that this is an excellent emergency radio, better than most of the labelled 'emergency' radios. Here's why I say this: 1. Generally, it looks and feels like a well built, simple, functional radio- a pleasant surprise. The case in particular is well fitted and finished. The tuning display and other controls are well placed, feel good and operate properly. 2. This runs on two AA batteries- not rare and expensive 9V. Run time is well in excess of 100 hours- I am four days into 'round the clock testing. Solar/crank/lithium rechargeables might suit long-term off-grid use, but add weight, size and cost. One set of AAs should last for months of careful use. 3. Not waterproof, but neither are most cell phones. But it fits in a sandwich zip lock- even when it's working. BTW it also fits in a 40 oz peanut butter jar, with room for a candle, lighter, space blanket and small flashlight. 4. Usable wrist strap for hanging, securing on a pack, etc. You need this. 5. Sensitivity and selectivity are fine. AM stations are getting rare around here, but it pulls the six local stations. FM sensitivity is comparable to my car's radio- it grabs about 20 stations with the antenna folded, and does a good job of separating adjacent stations. The telescoping antenna helps with weak stations, but these antennas are all fragile and probably should be kept stowed. A tuning LED is nice touch. 6. Sound quality is surprisingly good. I have been listening to classical music in my garage- and it is fully audible, and pleasant to listen to. It can get buzzy if you turn the volume way up, so don't do that. It's playing right now in the garage, and its loud enough to hear through the door in the kitchen. 7. Small size, like a cell phone but thicker- about 25mm. Pocket clip is thoughtful and looks useful, but its plastic and might be fragile. 8. Excellent price. Buy two or three, and get radios for sharing, barter etc- for less money than a fancy do-all. 9. No aircraft, shortwave or ham bands. These aren't often needed. Ham equipment is a good idea, but 2-way com radios have different requirements, and should be evaluated separately. My bottom line is that I'm buying a couple more of these for the prep stack.
