Radios

Besides providing you your favorite radio station, a portable AM/FM radio offers other benefits. Some of these devices have built-in Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi®, LCD screens, auto search and the ability to save a preset number of stations. Others are multipurpose, functioning as an alarm clock with a sleep timer, a battery charger, CD player, weather emergency radio or a flashlight. Choose from a number of features and configurations.

The Evolving Portable AM/FM Radio Still Has a Purpose

With a twist, turn or touch, a portable AM/FM radio lets you enjoy different types of music transmitted from local areas. With a satellite radio you can create personalized stations, listen to your music static-free and gain access to sports and comedy channels from around the world, with limited commercials. Many AM/FM radios contain dials or touch controls and exceptional sensitivity for easy access to stations further away. With a weather alert radio, you can stay informed of inclement weather, even if the electricity fails. Many of these devices have rugged exteriors comprising tough rubber, ABS plastic or woven materials to resist the elements, while some come with a roll cage to protect against damage. Look for solar and hand-cranked powered versions.

The Radio Is More Than Just a Radio

Some radios such as a portable clock radio perform multiple functions. Along with multiple alarm choices, some have built-in Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi® to connect to wireless devices and the internet respectively. Other portable audio devices include a CD player, a rechargeable battery charger, a smartphone charger and an auxiliary input and jacks to connect accessories like headphones and microphones. A telescoping antenna and a built-in LED or beacon light are a few more available attributes. An AM/FM table top radio can offer multiple digital options, as well as high end speakers in an aesthetically attractive cabinet.

Enjoy Radios That Work Both Ways

A two-way radio, also known as a walkie-talkie, is rugged, with many made from military-grade materials. They enable secure, personal conversations. Using an AM/FM tabletop radio with a microphone lets you make an announcement or sing at a party. Enjoy the music using a headset jack that allows privatized listening. Some models come in a small pocket size with a band for securing to your wrist. Others have large collapsible handles for convenient lifting, transport and storage. Find portable AM/FM radios with retro, contemporary, industrial and elegant styles in a variety of colors and finishes to suit nearly any preference or decor.

Sound Quality and Built-in Enhanced Features Mean Listening Pleasure

Many portable AM/FM radios and tabletop radios have larger speakers with balanced tone that produce high-quality sound. They also include options such as 20 or more preset channels for quick access to your favorite stations, vibrant LCD screens for easy viewing and a battery duration indicator. A wider range of frequencies let you expand your music selection. Finding a portable AM/FM radio that uses batteries and has an alternative source for powering, such as an AC adapter or a power cord, will prevent interruptions to your entertainment.
