Review: has the greatest sound for a portable - This Radio although NOT DAB and Stereo, has the greatest sound for a portable. It has FM, MW, LW (for cricket), and SW (Short wave for when you are bored with TV and radio in general and want to listen to music of language of far and distant countries (under the bedclothes at night). Its so simple but brilliant. When powered by 4 x C type batteries they seem to last forever. I bought my previous GX500 and will be consigned to the garden/garage/shed while I'm pottering about. (With same old batteries as its seen lots of action). I want my new purchase to be in the house to listen and tune into SW radio and warn me in case of a Nuclear attack or a worldwide pandemic and keep me further updated weeks on end (using 4 X Well known make Alkaline C type batteries) of how the condition of the planet is in, as my current battery powered DAB radio wouldn't even last for the Tuning in! I'm apologise for any alarm or concern I may have caused as this is only a scenario but I don't want to alarm anybody of any impending global disaster, my real concern is the Cricket and Weather forecasting in the high seas around the UK (Available on Long Wave LW). This little radio has given me so much pleasure over the years and with its depth of sound for a "Mono radio" is one of the greats Panasonic have produced. Its Simple and has a great tone with very good volume and tone,. While the digital age is here and tries to crush our old Radios to the scrap heap in the Ether, I suggest you try one of these and rebel against the DAB POWER Hungry evolution making a contribution to saving the planet!.By the way it has a Mains Ac and Ear socket. The only draw back of the radio is you have to tune in Manually. Try it with your kids, They may hate you for it or love it. For the Money its Radio Luxembourg all over again. If you've read this thank you. Review: FANTASTIC 4 BAND ANOLOGUE RADIO - .

(in fact i liked it so much, i bought a second one!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice unit, perfect for the technophobe. *by S***D on 28 July 2016* I bought this to satisfy an urge for something retro - I've got various CD systems and portable DAB radios, all of them useful. I thought this would be ideal for my camping trips - it's pretty robust, it tunes quickly with a red LED light to indicate the strength of the channel and the sound is more than adequate for a unit of this size. The tuning indicator needle is slightly wonky but that's no deal-breaker. The tuning button is smooth and comfortable to use. The volume dial is slightly strange - it tends to wobble a bit - whether that's a design fault or just my unit I'm not sure but it operates the volume without any problem. The different wavelengths are changed vis a solid switch - a green painted dot indicates which one you're using. The handle is solid and the antenna is more than long enough - it sits at a variety of angles without any problem. One important point - it uses C cell batteries, not D cell batteries as advertised. All in all it's a nice radio, perfect for an older relative who gets bewildered by scanning buttons and presets etc. Whether it's worth 30 quid I can't say - I think you can probably buy a radio that does more for less. ## Frequently Bought Together - Panasonic 4 Band Portable FM/LW/MW Radio RF3500 - XHDATA D219 Portable Radio Retro FM AM SW Radio Battery Operated for Household Outdoor Camping Hiking Pocket Radio Grey - Panasonic RF-2400DEB-K Portable FM/AM Radio with Digital Tuner, Large Dial, Mains and Battery powered, Easy to Use Radio for Home, Travel or Outdoors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48419291-4-band-portable-fm-lw-mw-radio-rf3500](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48419291-4-band-portable-fm-lw-mw-radio-rf3500) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
