Radio Radio

Radios seem an antiquated technology in an era of iPads and smart watches.   But there are still local radio stations broadcasting local news, sports and traffic.  A few years back i found a local AM station that played classic rock selections.  I bought a small AM/FM pocket radio to tune in. It was just a basic radio powered by  a rectangular 9 volt battery like the trnaradios i remembered from my youth.

But, time marches on and I found rechargeable pocket radios as a good replacement for standard battery models.
