- Is this radio worth it over a digital pocket radio?
- If you want the simplest possible set for news and talk, yes. A digital radio adds presets, a display and steadier tuning, but it costs more and has more to learn.
- Does it have presets or a display?
- No. Tuning is by a mechanical dial and pointer, so you find stations by ear and note their positions yourself.
- How well does AM work indoors?
- AM is the weaker band here. Expect to move near a window and extend the antenna, and expect some static in steel or concrete buildings.
- Can I listen with headphones?
- Yes. The 3.5 mm jack takes standard wired headphones, and on many pocket radios the headphone cable also helps FM reception.
- What comes in the box?
- Typically the radio, a strap and a short manual. Batteries are usually not included, so check the listing for the battery type before you buy.
- Is it good for emergencies?
- It works as a backup for local AM and FM broadcasts, but it has no crank, solar panel or flashlight, so keep spare batteries on hand.
- Where is the YINGHUA Pocket AM FM Radio Operated Pointer cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $24.97, as of our latest check.
