This radio has decent FM reception. Learning how to use this radio took a little time, but once I had everything set up, everything was pretty easy. I also like how this little radio has a SW receiver, as this is my first radio with an SW receiver. My main complaint with this radio is that it seems finicky about which types of batteries it uses. When I first tried using Panasonic Enloop rechargeable batteries, the display was very dim, a low battery indicator was on, and the radio was only able to run for a few minutes (even though the batteries were far from being dead). However, when I used alkaline batteries, the radio worked fine. The radio also works fine when using the 5V USB input. I believe this is caused by the lower voltage of NiMH rechargeable batteries, which results in deficient operation (as the voltage tolerance of the radio is 3V-5V, not 2.5V-5V). Another complaint would be that the FM radio has a phase difference between the left and right channel. For casual listening, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.Read full review

One beautiful wonderful & amazing pocket radio! It’s exactly the size of a deck of cards that fits perfectly in your hands but with a wonderful sound specially on the AM dial! Very sensitive and accurate dialing into stations...I should’ve bought this years ago! Radios with this good quality are very hard to come by unless you want to pay with a premium price from big company names such as Sangean Panasonic Sony & Kaito radio....this brand Retekess is highly affordable & good quality with a great customer service that comes with it!

This radio is exactly what I wanted. The small speaker is clear but, as expected, very "tinny." The rest is great. Good reception on both AM and FM; I do not use SW. Uses a standard phone adapter for power. Most important to me is the headphone jack. I use a pillow speaker at night to put me to sleep and, later, back to sleep. Works great and easy to find "favorite" stations.

I am an amatuer radio operator. This is the most fun you can have for 13 bucks. Excellent performer with features usually found in far more expensive radios!

You can't expect a miracle radio for this price - but what you get is surprisingly good for the money. The DSP helps to give clear reception on the SW bands, and FM is clear. AM is a bit lacking but that's in comparison to radios costing much more. Bottom line, I'd buy this little radio again.
