- Does it run on AA batteries?
- Yes. It takes AA batteries, so you can use alkalines or rechargeables you already own. There is no built-in rechargeable pack.
- Does it have a headphone jack?
- This model does not list a headphone jack. If private listening matters, check the jack on the model you buy before ordering.
- Can it pick up AM and FM?
- Yes, it tunes both AM and FM. FM reception improves when you extend the telescopic antenna.
- Is it good for emergencies?
- It works as a basic backup radio because it runs on common AA batteries. It has no flashlight, crank or weather-band alerts, so it is a simple option, not a full emergency radio.
- How does it compare with a digital-tuning radio?
- A digital radio locks stations more precisely and often adds presets and a clock. This one is simpler and cheaper in features, with an analog dial.
- What is in the box?
- The radio and its antenna come in the box. Batteries are usually not included, so plan to supply your own AAs.
