HanRongDaPortable Radio FM AM Shortwave Walkman with Speaker and Backlit, MP3 Player Support TF Card, Stereo Pocket Radios with 500mAh Battery for Walking, Camping, Mowing and Traveling HRD-605

I have not used the mp3 player but other wise ,this small multi band radio is a winner. With head phone use the radio last about 8 hours on a charge. It's sturdy and is easy to use. It does not have tone adjustment but is engineered to be in a happy medium. The search ,store and other functions work flawlessly. FM/Am reception is good. I don't have a lot of SW experience but I can get stations that are broadcasting halfway across the U.S decently.I really can't say enough good things about this product. If I broke this radio ,I would probably buy two to have one as a back up. If this company made other products I would definitely buy them if I was in need of it. The only thing this radio lacks that I wish it had was to be able to add or delete stations from the memory manually.It will only do it with the search function. My hats off to the individuals that got this product made and to the market.

The inability to manually set or remove “Preset” stations means the manufacturer is misleading customers.Push a “Preset” button and you go to the next live station. Push and hold a “Tune” button and you go to the next live station. So, on this radio “Preset” and “Scan” are the exact same thing.It’s a deal killer. Will be returning for a refund.

I buy these things because I collect radios - expensive ones and cheapies.This cheapie radio didn't disappoint me and has surprisingly good audio for its small size.The FM scan picked up a respectable 50 stations in my area. All of these DSP based radios do pretty well with that. AM and SW to be tested but I'll wait until the evening. It already does what I expect on those bands during the day.For those complaining about the lack of buttons - go buy yourself a $300.00 communications receiver or deal with it. I have those too. What do you expect for 25 bucks?I took a photo next to a bottle cap for size context.Testing on AM and SW are showing pretty surprising performances too!

This ultra small radio is really great. The combination of AM/FM/SW and TF card slot is wonderful. The SW is not real great, but still nice to have. If you attach an external antenna, the SW is of course much better. In any case, SW is not useful to me because most of the stations I receive are in some Asian language, none of which I understand. I use one AM station to test sensitivity in this band - there are a couple of areas (dips in the land) where I don't get the test station, but so what when the radio is so portable. I suspect the cause is that the internal AM antenna must necessarily be on the short side. The usability complaints of some reviewers are really absurd. You have to expect some minor inconvenience to get such a small radio. The radio that I received included a USB charging cable, earphones, and even a slip case. Read the manual and play with this thing and you will soon be able to use very easily. One strange observation is that I cannot find the HanRongDa name on the box or radio case.

I would give this 1 star except that it does work well once you get it on the station you want and it is compact, which is what I wanted. Other than that, I can't say anything else good about it. Getting it to any station is a major pain. They tried to cram a lot of functionality into this thing, but there is a small number of buttons/switches for input so you have to do wonky combos to get it to do what you want. The display shows seemingly random characters if you do the wrong combo.

The mp3 player actually works but it starts in alphabetical order and cannot go to find music you want. I tried and tried to program the time and alarm but cannot get the alarm to stop going off every night. And it drains the battery. POS!

MP3 player and has an AM tuner.

Battery life sucks. Radio has a rechargeable battery via USB cable. After charging battery LED lights indicate full charge and/or power status.With a full charge I turned the radio on and the power status lights go from a full charge to the next level down within five minutes. I figure at this rate it would run out of power within a half an hour.This radio is very difficult to setup. The fully automatic scanning and storage feature leaves you with no choice in selecting or passing on a station(s). NGI wanted a radio I could preset to my favorite stations and this ain't it. I have no idea about the other features on this radio, I found the instructions very hard to follow and not at all logical.The only thing missing on this radio is a command line prompt and DOS commands.
