Our take on the RadioShack Portable Multi-Band World Receiver with TV Band

A battery-powered analog world receiver covering AM, FM, shortwave and TV audio bands, with a plain dial tuner and no digital display. It runs on two D cells, so it works during outages and away from outlets. At $24.99 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with 4 stores listing it new. It is a basic listening radio, not a precision shortwave set.

Questions and answers

Is it worth buying at $24.99?
At $24.99 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026, it is a fair price for a basic battery backup radio. If you want precise shortwave tuning, spend more on a digital set.
Does the TV band still work?
US TV stations moved to digital, so this analog TV audio band will mostly pick up noise. Treat it as an AM/FM/shortwave radio.
What batteries does it take?
Two D cells. That gives long runtime, but the radio is heavier and you need to keep spare cells on hand.
Does it have a digital display or presets?
No. Tuning is by analog dial with no display or memory presets, so you note frequencies yourself.
Can it run on AC power?
The listed specs show battery power only. Check the box contents before assuming an adapter is included.
