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. This Leting Radios Portable FM radio is a convenient size and has good reception ( I live in a valley with poor radio reception). I also like buying red as opposed to black, easier to see and find :). The audio quality is pretty good also.


I have a few of these PRUNUS J-189 Bluetooth AM FM Radios which include AM as well as FM bands. The sound quality is also good. THe small form factor is an advantage. The antenna is a wire attached to the wrist strap which is somewhat fragile, but otherwise a good radio.


This is a nice table radio with AM/FM/SW and also functions as a bluetooth speaker. The larger case gives it better sound quality. The telescoping antenna provides good reception. The bluetooth pairing is easily achieved.
