Review: A minha deceção foi completa ao experimentar o rádio Prunus J-166. Na bamda Am, no local onde resido (Cascais - Portugal) capta apenas uma estação e deficientemente. Em FM é apenas um pouco menos mau. Havia rádios a um terço do preço, com boas referências, mas como ele se destina a um Kit de sobrevivência, quis comprar algo que eu pensava que seria de alta qualidade, e foi com esse intuito queme dispûs um preço muito mais alto. Afinal sucedeu exatamente o inverso.

*by H***I on 28 December 2025*

After Hurricane Helene hit the east coast, I had to go in my garage to pull out a big bulky radio (that used several D batteries) to get information when our power was out for days. With this, I'm much more prepared! It's light weight and easily portable. It works great and the price can't be beat. Very clear channels with hardly no static on any channels and only uses 2 AA batteries too!
