The tuner knobs and overall tuning system seems weak, loose, or imprecise compared to a couple other units of this model that we have purchased in the past. The quality seems to have suffered compared to the ones we bought about 10 years ago.
John A.
Took me long enough to get it. It works well for being a basic AM/FM Weather radio. When there is a "Grid Down" , AM Radio you can get information from great distances.
Edward H.
It’s lightweight and has been great so far.
The sound is good and it picks up a lot of stations.
I would buy it again.
David N.
Installed the new 'C' cell carbon batteries I purchased on Amazon and turned it on. Am radio in this area is very limited but I was still able to pick up a couple stations. The Weather Band had three active stations telling the area weather and alerts for different sections of North and South Carolina. The FM is fantastic, picks up and locks in on many stations. The PLL works great and music sound is very good also. I recommend this portable radio highly; Radio Shack also has the table version which is likely good also.
Kathy R.
The tone is wonderful coming from this AM/FM radio. Picks up lots of stations.
Will use weather function during hurricane season here in Florida.
Vicki C.
Really like the radio but won’t work with batteries.
Jerry B.
I love the radio it is the best
Spurgeon R.
SERVICE Very good & prompt service.
Ronald B.
Like the cord storage compartment
Andrea G.
Ordered. Just what I wanted. Got here quickly. Thank you. I know my 89 yr. Old mom is going to love it.!!
Thomas D.
FM is excellent. AM is excellent in stations over 1000 kHz. I am having trouble getting stations below 1000 kHz in at least inside my apartment. The AM antenna is supposedly internal. Is there a way to connect an external antenna to the internal one to get better reception ? Except for that it is a good product just AM lower stations 550 - 1010 have a problem. I have an old radio that only gets only the lower AM stations in so I have, in a way, all of the stations. The weather channels have no problem at all.
Pam A.
It has static even with the antennae up and the sound is tinny.
Laura V.
I really like my radio.
richard c.
Radio was sent as a GIFT station wanted came in well when called WAS Enjoying IT.
DYLA T.
You advertised a Analog radio and it isn't.
Eric P.
Great reception in an area that was previously difficult. Stations lock in and are clear and drift free.
Gene G.
Love the look of this radio. The audio is great quality. Very functional and light weight. Love it.
Terry W.
GOOD EMERGENCY RADIO. VERY SATISFIED.
Nancy G.
Love it. light weight and good sound.
WILLIAM H.
Works great and picks up some of the weakest stations where I live. This is my second radio I have bought (same model) and it is as good or better than the one I bought in 2013!
Steven C.
When I took the cord out to plug in, I couldn’t get the cover I had to remove to fit flush back on the radio. I expected it to sound better. Also I find the tuning knob hard to turn when standing and radio is sitting on a table.
Andrew A.
This radio is exactly what it looks like, a simple to operate AM/FM/WX radio, sturdily made, with no learning curve to operate. Just turn on, flip switch for radio band, turn tuning and volume knobs to suit. The volume is acceptably loud, sound is fairly good, FM reception is good, as is the weather band with two sources coming in clearly. My AM environment is interference challenged, so I can't properly give an opinion on reception or clarity. This is , again, what it seems, a garage or driveway weather ready tri band radio, plastic but sturdy plastic, easy to use. Put this in your garage and it may just still be there twenty years from now.
Vernon R.
Several months ago we had a rare power outage that lasted over an hour. During this time I vowed to my wife that I would buy her a simple, reliable, battery powered, analog radio. I did some looking and found this Radio Shack beauty and the price was right. It exceeds our expectations. Thank you Radio Shack. This Radio reminds me of a Radio from my teen years in the summer of 1959. Great product!
Susan S.
I am very disappointed with this radio. The speakers were ok but I could not get all my favorite stations. The tuner dial was sticking and did not pick up my favorite stations. After about 3 weeks I was unable to even turn it on. I then tried to return it to the local Radio Shack Store, a 45 min drive each way. I was told that because they are a dealer and I ordered online that I would need to contact where I bought it from. I will say that I didn't even try. At the time I was in the middle of a kitchen remodel, developed a major health issue and managed to misplace it for a while. I do have the radio now but realize the 90 day warranty is up. I know this is not the manufacturers fault just my own for not responding in a timely manner.
Cheryl Y.
Love it.
Dial could have bigger "bumps" on it to make it easier to hold and dial.
Keith M.
It is a really nice radio. The plus side would include good reception, good looks, nobs and switches all work well and has an ok sound. The minus side would be just one speaker behind the nice stainless front, it’s okay for talk and news but could be a richer sound for music. This is not quite up to par with my decades old R/S model made in Japan not China. I don’t want to be anti China products but it does seem they have taken over many many products and markets.
Gary P.
Had exact radio before! Bought at local store. Store now closed. When my first radio was damaged by leaking battery, I looked for replacement and found same radio on line, and was shocked to see Radio Shack was still in business?
H. Russell S.
Great radio. Build is a little light, but that's a common gripe I have among all the newer sets I've seen on the market. Well worth the sale price. Seems sensitive enough. I actually like the analog dial, but I'm a bit of a Luddite at times. Get one for your storm kit.
Peter S.
Always have a radio in my bathroom and this is the best one I’ve ever had. I love it.
Donna B.
We loved our Radio Shack radio so much that we ordered another one for a different room. It was a great price and delivered swiftly. It’s perfect in every way. We have always enjoyed shopping at Radio Shack.
James S.
On mine the red LED light is on all the time even when off tuned from a station. I am not sure if that is correct. I have had other radios where the light lit up only when you had a station tuned in good. The tuning knob is a little small to work as well. Overall for the price the radio meet my expectations. It also seems to be a pretty sturdy unit.
Russ R.
Nice unit! Love the anolg dial really can adjust and tune in many station's I could not get on other Radio!
william s.
For the price, this radio is disappointing. It feels like a cheap imported $12 radio. Not worth the money, and can get something with the same cheap imported quality at Walmart, for less money,
Michael G.
Fast service. Very good value. Radio sounds great.
Sandra J.
Item arrived in timely manner. Radio was easy to use and like that it will also run on batteries.
Wendy H.
A Christmas gift for my 9 year old. He likes the weather feature. Good size for him to carry around.
David l.
Well made and enjoyable!
william c.
works great for a small radio
Robert G.
The site was easy to navigate and delivery was on time.
Linda H.
Nice radio! Gets clear reception. Would buy it again.
Joe
Great portable radio for the money
I am very pleased with this radio. My only very small issue is the audio fidelity has a bit more "highs" in the audio than I prefer. A small capacitor across the speaker should roll off the highs so its lets sharp in the high frequency end. A tone switch to do that would have been nice. All in all, a very good portable go to radio for the price.
Debbie
Good weather radio
It’s a good weather radio, am and fm come in clearly,too. No emergency alert stand-by feature. Well built as is my old Radio Shack weather am/fm radio which is over 13 years old. Would have liked an ear phone to have been included.
My mother likes her’s, also.
Pedro ramos
Good radio for me.
Getting good reception in Manhattan, NY without extending the antenna.
I only listen to FM.
linda johnson
GREAT RADIO
THE RADIO IS GREAT AND I AM ENJOYING IT VERY MUCH.
I GET ALL MY AM STATIONS. THE RADIO IS BUILT VERY WELL. ALL THE CONTROLS ARE GOOD AND VOLUME IS FINE. I USE IT EVERY DAY. THANKS FOR MAKING A RADIO THAT RECIEVES ALL STATIONS AND IS EASY TO USE.
Keith
Just what I was looking for.
I keep mine in my van. I don't need or want a smart phone so, if I'm out hunting, fishing or trapping and the weather looks questionable, I just tune in the NWS channel. If I'm just changing a fly or lure, I'll listen to music. I do wish the knobs were more finger friendly, easier to grip and turn. Sound quality is good for what I use it for.
steve
A blessing...
This is my fourth attempt to purchase a radio that will receive broadcasts here in the mojave desert north of the san bernardino mountains, north of the los angeles basin. Fourth time is a charm I suppose. A most excellent radio. Gets all the LA stations, am/fm. I get 640am, the bill handle show loud and clear! I take it out in the field while working and at home in the house as well. The sound quality is quite acceptable for the what it is. I recommend this radio and give it 5 stars.
Pat Polk
Fathers Day
You cant find radios much, but i did at Rasio Shack. My dad loved it. He had been looking for one, so for Father's day this is what I gave him. He loved it and said it picks up all stations and the sound is great.
David
Really Nice Radio!
This is a really nice excellent well built radio that has easy to use volume knob and tuning dile! Since it has a built-in antenna, I am able to tune in my favorite music and talk radio stations loud and clear! Well worth the money!
Mike
Handy Radio
My wife uses this radio by the pool. It is well built and reliable. Radio Shack has always made great products.
sherry
Really nice radio
I have always loved Radio Shack products. I sure miss their store in my town.
Jo
Nice Radio
Finally I found a radio I like. It is nice looking, simple, good size for carrying around.
Casey
Very compact & handy
Like not having to figure out digital mess with stations but just turn the dial
Good clarity too and nice having NOAA in safe room.
Tracie Curnell
For my hurricane prep kit
The radio works on C batteries when the power is out, picks up NOAA weather stations well, is sturdy and I'm thrilled.
Kathy
Perfect Radio!
Exactly what I was looking for! I bought this radio for my 82 yr old Mom. She wanted to listen to music instead of listening to the TV talk about this Covid 19 ALL the time. Easy to use and the stations come in beautifully! I will be buying this for myself because it will also be a great weather radio and the handle is perfect for a quick grab n go.

Great radio !
This radio is a great find! Stays on the station, and very clear tone. My little treasure with no complications...easy least!!
Stephen Swirka
Radio, period.
No frills. Plug in or battery, AM or FM. All analog.
Baseball games during yard work.
All good.
Ann
It works great
Just what I was looking for. I can find the stations needed. Has a sturdy handle.
Radio Listener
Good Radio
I like the size, the sound, and the accuracy of the dial. The cord fits into the back of the radio when I want to put in batteries and listen in the garden, so no lost cord. The only improvement I would like to see is a better knob for dialing in stations. I have hand problems so moving from one station to another is harder than it should be. I like that the knob needs effort to turn. That means the radio will stay on station when I move it. If the knob had higher ridges, was a little bigger, or something to help turn it, the radio would be pretty perfect. I am considering buying another.
Michele
Great Radio!!!
This AM/FM Weather Tabletop Radio is versatile, lightweight, portable & with it’s slim design fits anywhere without taking up space. Rugged construction & has 25 hours of playing time per set of batteries. My favorite radio!!!
Mike
Still Working
I bought one of these over 20 years ago, when the local Radio Shack store was still open. It's been a good one, still works great. My wife and I listen to it every day, we've gotten our moneys worth out of it!
Sharon in NJ
Great radio! Clear, old type reception :-)
Love the old style turn knob. Much better than the electronic search and find. Brings in AM and FM clearly. AM for weather, news, etc from Philly 30+ miles away. Bought two. Gave second one to friend's father. He likes it too.
JOHN W FISHER
#1oldcorncobb
I bought this radio on line N was surprised at how easy it was to order this radio. I selected standard shipping N it took 8 days for it to arrive. The radio is just what I wanted The only problem I have with this radio is the size of the tuning knob N it seems a little stiff. Other than that it's a great radio, comes in very clear on all 3 channels, AM, FM n weather. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give this radio a 15.
Lupe
Excellent Radio
Easy to set in the bathroom, comes in clear. I’ve always bought radios from radio shack when I was younger no complains here.
David B
Outstanding analog radio
This is actually the second one I've owned - I replaced the first one after at least 15 years of great service - maybe more than 20, I don't know. This radio is exactly the same as my old one - nothing that I can tell has changed. But after too any times dropping it (at least 3) the antennae broke off and while it still performs pretty well, I decided to get a new one.
Sound is great, reception is great, battery life is great. It's quite narrow and easily fits on the bathroom window sill which is why I got it in the first place. It's a wonderful radio.
Irena Grasso
LOVE MY RADIO!
The radio is lovely, beautiful clear sound, easy to find stations, and great to carry anywhere. Love it!
Charles Dillman
Best Radio Shack Radio
Very pleased with the product. Nice size which fits in
my kitchen perfect. This little mighty radio has good clear sound without any static and has good design. Have made past purchases of radio shack radios and have been pleased with every purchase Thanks radio shack for having this type of radio available to the baby boomer generation who like to listen to a good quality radio!!!

Nostalgic.
This radio is a throwback as to when this is all we had for audio communication reception.
A fun little gadget.

Great Radio!
My son listens to baseball games and talk radio. Perfect radio! Stations come in clear. No messing with antenna.

Portable Radio
This radio is perfect when the power goes out.
I had a portable radio w/cassette player but would run on batteries any more, bought in the 80's. I'm so glad I found your website.
Linda Desano
Great Radio!!
My son loves it! He listens to New York sports radio. Comes in clear and crisp. weather stations come in handy too for hup to date tracking on hurricanes heading East.
Barbara Green
Absolutely great radio !
I bought this radio for work after trying some others that did not work in my situation, noisey work area. It has been great. The volume can be increased loud enough without static to be really enjoyed. The volume button is located in an easily accessible area. And the handle makes it easy to move from job to job. I could not be more pleased. After six months I am still happy with this purchase.
Jim W
Fabulous Radio
This is one great radio. It replaces a GE Super radio that conked out and this one is every bit as clear and long range as the old GE. The weather alert brings in our forecast station loud and clearer than our weather radio.
Having big hands the dials are a bit small but that is so minor considering the high quality reception both on AM and FM. I plan to order another one as soon as they are back in stock. You won't go wrong buying this radio.
AllenS
The best radio
Great radio. Affordable. Great sound. I would certainly recommend this radio to others.
Jennifer Jay
Nice radio
Bought this for my Dad for Christmas. He is 84 and wanted a radio to listen to while working in the barn. Just what I was looking for . I did try it out before I wrapped it . I had noticed some people said that the tuning knob was not very solid . This one is a little hard to turn but I figure after a while it will work a little easier.
Joseph
Great Radio
Bought one for the wife to listen to talk am. Liked it so much bought 5 more for the grand children for Christmas.
David
AM/FM Weather Radio: Solid and straight-forward unit
I bought this to upgrade from a 20 year-old Radio Shack pocket radio, for daily use with AC power, and as a battery-powered unit when the electricity goes out. My stereo receiver has better sound, but for ease of use and less power consumption, this radio is great for short sessions, especially if the content is news, not music. The radio is well-sized, has good reception for my area, and sounds okay, despite missing any 'tone' control. One improvement could be increasing the small size of the tuning dial, which requires a deliberate effort to use. It's a great radio for my kitchen table, and I got it on sale, so I'm happy.
Gjc866
Excellent
Built like a tank. Sounds great!
Shelia
Great
Was looking for an analog radio for my 88 year old mom (digital is just beyond her). Found this one and thought I would give it a try. It is an excellent radio. Reception is excellent.

GaryG
Weather-AM-FM battery powered radio
I have been a long time Radio Shack store-customer. I have missed being able to shop at a store location since most stores have closed in my area. However, I am thrilled that I can still browse and purchase HIGH-QUALITY products at a VERY REASONABLE PRICE. Radio Shack has always been known for quality merchandise and a fair price. EXCELLENT BUYING EXPERIENCE !! This battery powered AM-FM-Weather radio is exactly what I was looking for. GREAT QUALITY -- GREAT PRICE -- GREAT QUICK SHIPPING !!
Stephen G Traxler
the portable Analog AM FM Weather Radio from Radio Shack
This radio is a quality piece of equipment. You can carry it in your suit case, you can take it fishing on the pier. The sound is so good with or without headphones that the clarity is going to amaze you.It is built like a tank. and being powered by household current, or 4 C cells, which are big, you may not have to buy batteries all year. If you turn your back on it, you're not likely to have it for long. On top of everything else, it's beautiful! S. Traxler

Simple Radio For Mom
This great radio solved my needs for my mother (86)...she was having major trouble with 2 digital radios and I found myself constantly having to "explain" the functions..(that was fun)...I saw this and after I set it up and reviewed the basics with her, my phone no longer rings---for the radio...She absolutely loves it---very simple and sounds great!!! Thank you...
Campo Smokie
So Happy To Have This!
I have this in my workshop and it's wonderful. It feels solid and I like that it's larger at the base for stability. It's great that it runs on either batteries or AC. It sounds great and picks up the stations in the area very well. I ordered it on a Tuesday and had it on Saturday so that's great service. Hopefully they'll continue to be available because others I know want one now since I got one. Thank you, RadioShack.
G Simpson
Extremely Happy!
Nice size making it very easy to move from place to place. It is handy to have it run by battery or the electric cord (included). Simple to run with a very nice sound quality for a small radio. I am extremely happy with my purchase!
Richard Matthews
Outstanding
I like the radio very much. it is a little bigger than I thought it would be but that's ok.
I thought it took a long time to get it delivered
