- Does it need batteries or can it plug in?
- It runs on two AA batteries or a DC 3V adapter. The adapter is not included, so plan on batteries for portable use.
- Can it pick up AM stations clearly?
- It tunes AM 530-1600 kHz. Reception depends on location and the built-in antenna; expect some static on distant stations.
- Does it have presets or a digital display?
- No. Tuning is analog with a dial, so you find stations by hand and there are no memory presets or clock.
- How does it compare with a digital-tuned radio?
- A digital set gives exact tuning, presets and often a clock, but needs more power and costs more. This one is simpler and runs on AA batteries.
- Is it good for emergencies?
- It works as a basic backup for news, but it has no weather band, flashlight, crank or weather sealing. A dedicated emergency radio is better for that.
- What comes in the box?
- The radio itself. Batteries and the DC adapter are not included, so buy two AA batteries separately.
