Greadio AM FM Portable Radio Transistor Radio with 3.5mm Earphone Jack, Hight/Low Tone Mode, Big Speaker, AC Power or Battery Operated by 4 D Cell Batteries for Home and Outdoor

I got this radio for my mom, whom I'm the caregiver for. She hates TV and lives the talk radio stations. The other radio she had was nothing but static and hard to tube. This is a great size, lightweight and small footprint. It's so easy to tune and read. There is no static and the voices come in loud and clear, not funny or mumbled like her last radio. It's a simple design which is perfect for my elderly mom, few buttons and dials. It took her just a minute to figure it out. This is my 4th try at finding the perfect radio. I sent 3 back but this one is a keeper. Quality, built to last and easy operation, clear and loud.

I bought this radio for my 90 year old father. Function well and the sound of the music is very clear and light weight for my father to tote around the house. Catch all the stations without any problems.

This is a DSP radio but it convincingly tunes like an old analog radio- it's really nice as far as this goes. But I wish it had high/low bandwidth switch instead of tone (the bandwidth is too wide for AM and SW, but for sure the radio IC has narrower bandwidth modes), and I wish it had more SW bands to make them narrower for easier tuning. The volume control is using a linear-taper pot, but it should be audio-taper (did they run out of audio taper pots?). This makes it difficult to adjust at low volume. The tuning control feels like mush (there is a string and wheel based reducer between the knob and the tuning pot, but it's too cheap). The SW/FM/AM switch is really a slide switch- with some linkage to make it into a rotary switch- this is why the settings are only like 5 degrees apart. The earphone is mono (even though the radio IC can certainly do stereo). This radio will not charge batteries when the cord is plugged in (this is a good thing- it's safe to use NIMH batteries). LCD has no backlight (IMHO, this is also a good thing).Despite my criticisms, the radio is nice in that you can actually tune in SW stations in the way you could on old analog radios. Many cheap DSP radios are hopeless at this. The sound is good thanks to the largish speaker and good audio power. The controls are simple, you don't need a manual. This radio is good for elderly people. The LCD is nice and large.

Great old shool radio. Portable and reliable. Good value and sound quality.

With so many choices for Portable AM/FM Radios at and around $29, a major factor for me in choosing the Greadio T16 above the others was my prior experience with Greadio quality and the great experience I’ve had with the Amazon Seller, GagaBlue. Lois was very prompt and courteous in handling my warranty registration and answering questions.I was not at all disappointed in any aspect of my T16 when I received it. Reception is great on both bands and the sound quality is very articulate and clear. All in all, I don’t think you can go wrong with this radio.

This radio picks up everything from the basement inside of concrete digital tuning is nice clarity is good, is it the loudest no but it let's you hear your favorite stations.

UPDATE May 25, 2023For a while, I've tuned "blind" for local AM/FM stations. This morning, the radio went totally went dead. What a piece of Chinese JUNK! AVOID!UPDATE November 14, 2022 -The digital frequency/clock display has just died (cannot see). At times, you can see if faintly if you view it 'off axis' as in looking up from the bottom of the radio. I will consider this a piece of Communist Chinese junk unless the seller reads this and offers a replacement. I looked all over for a "ask seller a question" like but to no avail. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!Well, it works and sounds pretty good. This unit picks up local AM and FM radio stations. The short-wave section also picks up stations but exhibits interference from out of band signals, which is strange because we have few if any strong signals that would cause such problems. This radio is easy to operate. I note that the frequency counter (the digits on the front panel that attempts to show you the frequency the radio is tuned to) is not very accurate. For example, when listening to a local station on 730 AM, when the station is properly tuned in/sounds best, the digital readout says 732. I noticed the same thing on FM where 95.3 sounds better when tuned to 95.4.This radio is advertised as a "DSP" radio. I'm sure it is but it sure is a cheap/faulty implementation of digital signal processing. Case in point is seen when trying to listen to weak stations. When trying to listen to a station on 800 KHz, this radio involuntarily shifts between two or three competing signals. I can't tell whether these are on adjacent frequencies (like 790 and 810) or the radio is gathering samples from multiple signals on the same frequency. My read is that this radio uses a very poor DSP chip. It would have been far better to use a more conventional superheterodyne circuit, although that might cost more to implement these days.Would I buy this radio again? No! Should you buy it, probably, but it's really not a great bargain. I notice other radios without the digital readout for $10 less. They'd probably work just as good.
