can I drive a small external speaker from the earphone jack?

Yes, if your speaker has aux function and 3.5mm aux cord, you can play it in external speaker. Sincerely, PRUNUS

How is its am fm reception?

Reception is great, like a giraffe, it has a super long antenna.

Will transistor radio still work inside a backpack?

Yes, this radio will play inside your backpack if turned on as you walk around unless you're down inside a bunker, then it may be hard to pick up most stations. The J-166 is a good cheap radio that has good sound.

I searched online. Here is description: DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology has forever changed the portable receiver market in so many positive ways: It’s made portable radios more affordable for consumers

Perfect small size for emergency or travel

It's very nice size like the retro styles were, it has way better reception and no static, it uses two AA batteries which is the reason I bought it, in case of emergency! I have the teal blue and it's gorgeous color and great sound! No regrets, even has a belt clip and a strap to carry it
