Review: A não comprar: rádio Prunus J-166 - 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.
