Very sensitive radio with good audio. AM/MW: was able to pick far away stations and those I use to check if radio is good on AM/MW. Very goodradio if you need to pick up distant stations . Shortwave was surprisingly very good, with excellent band range coverage and the bands are spread for easier tunning, RMI, WWCR, Rumania, NHK, Radio Nacional da Amazonia and many others so is a fairly good. The SW rage covered was the best for non digital radios, covering night time and day time frequencies.Shortwave radio, FM was good to with good audio and able to pick many stations. The tuning led was very accurate letting you know you are on the stations frequency and loudest signal. Excellent radio for the price with solid construction.

Very impressed with the build quality and reception. The handle is very solid and is molded all the way around...not the cheap kind that only the front looks good. This radio with batteries is not heavy but feels very sturdy and those big D batteries can really pull the flashlight great. It is not a tiny pin light...it lights up and directs a strong beam like a regular flashlight. You would be able to see to get around in pitch dark.
I had no problem picking up fm stations 85 miles away. The antenna is nice and long and feels sturdy.
Shortwave is perfectly fine. I immediately picked up a station I enjoy that is 600 miles away and had no problem easily picking up Cuba and other countries. I did not even hook up a wire....just got strong signals at night off the antenna it comes with. AM or MW works very good too. No problem enjoying lots of stations.
The sound from the speaker is good. The volume can be go suprisingly loud without any distortion. Headphone jack worked fine.
What I dont like. The tiny wheel within the big tune wheel is just useless and a joke I guess. Also, my particular one came with the select needle crooked. It slants noticibly but I decided to live with it. It works. Also, I am not sure exactly how accurate thr needle is on the dial but that doesnt freak me out at all since it picks up all the stations I want and many more.
I got this for less than 15 dollars so to me it was a very good buy. I actually intended to give it as a gift and loved it so much I greedily kept it for myself. Lol. The radio is really built well, not cheap feeling at all. I recommend it easily. If you want a nice radio that is truly portable but NOT pocket sized that offers good shortwave this is a good choice easily. If you want 100 radio quality, buy a 100 radio but this radio is above its price in quality.

This is a good quality radio with quality reception and sound. It is AC/DC with a real 110 v AC jack and cord so you don't have to fumble around with a flimsy USB cable to operate it. It also runs on 3 D cells which give it superb long term use capacity. Last night I used it to listen to Radio Havana, WWV, CSU Canada, WTWW, Radio Taipei, and several others. It also picks up non sideband HAM radio transmissions. It picks up local and AM stations 500 miles away, and has excellent FM reception. I highly recommend this radio!

This is a good radio. I use it outdoors while I am gardening. The FM stations are sometimes hard to tune-in because the selection bar is somewhat short and too many stations are in the frequency range of my favorite stations. But if you get the station dialed in, the reception and sound are great. Haven't used the SW yet, so can't comment on that. Overall, this is a handy, useful radio and I wouldn't mind owning another one or two.

This is a very nice portable radio that works well on all four bands. It is a lot of fun to tune across the shortwave bands to see what you can hear. AM and FM work great also. Prunus seems to be committed to producing high quality yet affordable receivers.
Sound quality is acceptable but tends toward the bassy side. It is on par with the Panasonic RF-2400 D. (Sony models ICF-19 and ICF-506 on the other hand sound a bit brighter.) A variable tone control (a dial, not a high/low switch) would be a great feature to add in an upgraded model. Overall, you can comfortably listen to this radio for a long period of time.
This is a fun radio to tune around on, and that is what it is all about for me.

Radio is very well made. With 3 'D' batteries for power it should play for a long time. Unlike most radios in this price range is receives the AM band very well. FM is good and the shortwave coverage is very good. I would recommend this radio to anyone who needs a simple, long lasting radio.
