It is probably my favorite radio purchase on desertcart, in terms of the cost you pay and what it delivers. It is very sensitive & selective on all of its bands (AM, FM, SW). It does not provide weather band or longwave reception. It goes head to head with my Tecsun PL-880 and sometimes has better reception (and the Tecsun costs six times more). It actually provides extended bandwidth on AM (i.e. good treble/not muffled) - which is rare for a radio under $100. And the radio has a tone control, which brightens or softens the sound. You can also play with the tone control in the middle position and get both a bass and treble boost. I have also found this radio is very easy on the batteries, where months after loading in the required D batteries I am still on the original set. I use this radio daily. It does not have a small footprint, but this is a small trade-off for the sound it delivers. Tiny radios in this price range sound very tinny and don't come close to how good this one sounds, or get as loud as this one does. The only downside of this radio, which is probably nitpicking at this price, is that on the shortwave band, the tuner does not accommodate frequencies ending in a "5" because it expresses them in megahertz, not kilohertz. For example, I can often pick up Radio New Zealand from where I am in Colorado at night. But when they broadcast on the frequency 17675 KHZ, the Greadio T26 radio only allows me to dial it in as either 17.67 or 17.68 MHZ. The additional decimal place that kilohertz would offer is missing - so I am not picking up the actual frequency in these cases. I can still hear the signal, but this radio also has built-in noise suppression and thus the frequency cuts in and out because I am not truly dialed in on the right frequency. Also, another small annoyance with this radio, is tuning in stations on shortwave. You have to be very careful with this dial to get the exact frequency you want. It could take several attempts going on either side of the frequency to finally land on frequency. I have become better over time at managing this, and for the price, this is not a huge issue. But it will be easy to miss stations on shortwave unless you already know they are there. The tuner readout does not light up, which is not surprising for the price point and not a big deal. The tuner knob is also large and on shortwave this is nice because you can go up and down the dial quickly. This is helpful because this radio has no auto scanning capability. All in all, this radio is a great buy and also a great way for someone who's never played around with shortwave to be able to do so at a very low price point. I highly recommend it for this purpose. PS - A note for first time shortwave enthusiasts. Keep in mind that the shortwave band is extremely susceptible to interference from electronic devices, lights, and power sources. You will probably want to invest in a wire antenna that can clip on to the aerial as this radio does not have an antenna jack. Also, you will generally have a lot better luck with shortwave in the evening, night, and early morning. Shortwave radio works by bouncing off the ionosphere, which allows it to travel around the world at the right times of day. For daytime in a metropolitan area, unless a frequency is based somewhat near you on your continent, is very high wattage (100,000 watts+), and the transmitter is aimed at you, you are not likely to pick up much. Be patient, and use online sources that provide shortwave broadcast frequencies to know what you are listening to and when you can pick up different stations. Shortwave stations sometimes will change frequencies every hour. I also highly recommend to take a radio like this camping, as you will find the reception increases exponentially when you get away from the big cities and all of the interference they provide. I have picked up shortwave signals from all over the world in rural areas during the daytime, with just a portable radio and a 25 ft wire antenna. Have fun! Review: Radio - Great radio.

Can use at home or on the road. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ DSP radio convincingly tunes like an analog radio *by J***N on January 5, 2023* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - Duracell Coppertop D Batteries, 4 Count Pack, D Battery with Long-lasting Power, All-Purpose Alkaline D Battery for Household and Office Devices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/168099842-portable-am-fm-transistor-radio-with-loud-speaker](https://www.desertcart.us/products/168099842-portable-am-fm-transistor-radio-with-loud-speaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
