Very good radio. It’s small and lightweight, yet surprisingly loud. I love the large volume and tuning knobs - very easy and convenient to use. Also, the customer service was excellent l. When I had a problem with the radio, I sent an email, and received a prompt response. Within a week, the problem was solved. I couldn’t have asked for better help. Thank you Lois! I’m very impressed by the customer service Read more
My experience: This is a city radio, one that has lots of AM and FM radio stations. No AM reception if the station is more than 40 miles away from your location. Most AM reception is full of static. Local FM reception is great but you must know the exact broadcast frequency of the FM station for best reception as the tuner has lots of drift. I like that it operates on 4-Dcell batteries so I can move it from room to room. The speaker works better for voice than music. The shortwave design is, 4.70 through 18.00 MHz which includes all international broadcast bands, 16 through 60 meter bands. My experience, you must use a shortware antenna to get any reception. If your looking for quality long distance AM reception look elswhere, maybe a used GE Super Radio or the C. Crane company model CCRadio-EP PRO. Read more
What a great small radio! I'm getting very clear reception on stations my other (car) radio does not. I was looking for a simple radio that I could bring around my home at any time and the Greadio had all I needed. Perfect! Delivery was fast and well packaged. Thank you! Read more
UPDATE May 25, 2023 For a while, I've tuned "blind" for local AM/FM stations. This morning, the radio went totally went dead. What a piece of Chinese JUNK! AVOID! UPDATE November 14, 2022 - The digital frequency/clock display has just died (cannot see). At times, you can see if faintly if you view it 'off axis' as in looking up from the bottom of the radio. I will consider this a piece of Communist Chinese junk unless the seller reads this and offers a replacement. I looked all over for a "ask seller a question" like but to no avail. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! Well, it works and sounds pretty good. This unit picks up local AM and FM radio stations. The short-wave section also picks up stations but exhibits interference from out of band signals, which is strange because we have few if any strong signals that would cause such problems. This radio is easy to operate. I note that the frequency counter (the digits on the front panel that attempts to show you the frequency the radio is tuned to) is not very accurate. For example, when listening to a local station on 730 AM, when the station is properly tuned in/sounds best, the digital readout says 732. I noticed the same thing on FM where 95.3 sounds better when tuned to 95.4. This radio is advertised as a "DSP" radio. I'm sure it is but it sure is a cheap/faulty implementation of digital signal processing. Case in point is seen when trying to listen to weak stations. When trying to listen to a station on 800 KHz, this radio involuntarily shifts between two or three competing signals. I can't tell whether these are on adjacent frequencies (like 790 and 810) or the radio is gathering samples from multiple signals on the same frequency. My read is that this radio uses a very poor DSP chip. It would have been far better to use a more conventional superheterodyne circuit, although that might cost more to implement these days. Would I buy this radio again? No! Should you buy it, probably, but it's really not a great bargain. I notice other radios without the digital readout for $10 less. They'd probably work just as good.
