The Retekess V112 is a pocket-sized AM/FM radio, about the size of a deck of playing cards but lighter. It receives FM stereo through the earphone. The earphone cord also works as the antenna, and extending it from a trouser pocket can improve reception where the signal is weak.
A lock button prevents accidental operation, so the radio can stay on while you walk or jog. Stations can be found in two ways. A long press of the tuner key searches semi-automatically, and a short press tunes manually. A short press of the memo key stores a station, and a long press of the memo key deletes the stored stations.
The built-in 500mAh rechargeable lithium battery charges through a USB cable in 2 to 3 hours and runs at least 10 hours, depending on volume. If the radio is left idle, it turns off automatically after 90 minutes. If it can be turned on again after that, the battery is fine.
