Greadio Portable Shortwave Radio AM FM DSP Tuner

Greadio Portable Shortwave Radio is a battery- or AC-powered AM/FM/SW transistor radio with a clear LCD, large controls and a big speaker for reliable reception at home or on the go.

This compact, user-friendly radio combines an oversized LCD, long antenna and a DSP-enhanced tuner to capture AM, FM and shortwave broadcasts. It runs from the included AC adapter or four D-cell batteries (not included), so it keeps working during power outages or when you’re away from mains power. Large knobs, a carry handle and a readable time display make it easy to operate for seniors and beginners, while a 3.5 mm earphone jack and two-watt speaker offer private or room-filling listening.

How does the reception and tuning perform in varied locations?

The Greadio uses a long telescoping antenna and a DSP chip to stabilize signals and reduce noise, improving clarity for music, news and talk. The sizable LCD shows precise band and frequency information so you can tune accurately.
