Emergency Weather Radio - NOAA/AM/FM Battery Operated Portable Radio with Best Reception and Longest Lasting Transistor. Powered by 2 AA Battery with Mono Headphone Socket, by Vondior (Silver)

I enjoy listening to cbc radio news and discussions throughout the day. Transistor radios are great when going from room-to-room.

This tiny WB/FM/AM battery powered radio is the perfect portable size. The set up is simple, just install the batteries that came with it, pull up the antenna, select the band you want, then tune to the station of your choice. The radio quality is very good and the noise level is very low if any. The features are very easy to use and understand. Nothing high tech, very similar to the transiter radios we had back in the day, but this one feels a lot more durable and solid. Not cheap plastic. I highly recommend for emergency use when there's no electricty.

Good weather channels. No AM or FM channels came through. Good volume on the weather! But for listening while on my deck? Not a good choice.

Radio delivered Feb 6 /23. Bought it to use in the bathroom; lasted 3 weeks, then sound got fuzzy, would drift from station and had to turn it on and off a couple of times to get it to turn on. Then it just died; tried changing batteries and rotating batteries; nothing brought it back to life. Amazon told me to contact seller which I did. The "Team" asked me to write a description of the problem; then they asked me for pictures showing the problem; I sent pictures; then they asked me to take videos showing the problem. I asked them what a video of a dead radio would show them and were they just trying to wear down my resolve? Didn't hear back from them again. Now I'm stuck with a radio that lasted 3 weeks for a total of about 4 hours. I bought it based upon the many positive reviews, but I will lean more towards name brand products in the future. I bought a Panasonic to replace the Vondior and it is working well.

This is exactly the radio I was looking for. No, it's not one with all the fancy bells and whistles. In fact it's like the old fashioned manual tuning radio I used to have. The problem with automatic tuning in remote areas is it picks up on radio frequency signals but sometimes the actual voice/music signal can be slightly off where you can't get that part. Manual tuning you can fine tune in on the voice/music part you want. I like the sound, there's a speaker on the back as well as front and it sounds like stereo. As far as reception goes this unit picks up stations I didn't even know were there because due to a weaker signal. This right here makes it great, and I'm not even using the extended antenna either. This is it, back to basics and easy to use. The weather band works great also, no it's doesn't have alert function and all that, but when you tune the station you get your weather forecast. Small and fits in you pocket size but great overall unit.
