Review: Excellent reception - and the dial even glows in the dark - There are dozens of pocket radios here on desertcart. This is one of the best. The Panasonic RF-P50D gets excellent reception on both AM and FM, and it sounds very good for a radio this size. In addition, as a unique and useful touch, the dial face even glows in the dark similar to the face of a glow-in-the-dark watch dial. This radio looks almost identical to the earlier version of Panasonic's pocket radio, which had the same model number as this one except the earlier model didn't have the "D" on the end of the model number. That one was okay for local stations but had very weak reception of stations that were distant. This revised model has vastly improved reception, especially on AM. I compared this side-by-side to Sony's small pocket radio, the ICF-P26. The sound quality is similar but this Panasonic is notably better at pulling in weak signals on both AM and FM. Compared to some of the off-brand pocket radios in this general price range - well, there's really no comparison, yet many of those cost as much as or more than this Panasonic. Here you get reception that closely rivals that of bigger portables. It's hard to find that in any pocket radio, let alone at this price. The luminescent tuning dial collects energy from ambient room light and then glows for a while when the room goes dark. It's a nice touch and useful for tuning the radio in bed. But, if the radio has been in the dark for a long time, such as stored in a drawer or a purse or carrying bag, the dial face will have to be exposed to light for a minute or so in order for the illumination feature to work. To complete the old time pocket radio feel, Panasonic even includes in the box with this radio a single-ear earphone. My uncle, who passed away many years ago, was a night watchman at a factory and he always kept a pocket radio with him, which kept him company all night as he listened to talk programs through old-style earphones just like these. And, because they only fit into one ear, the user is safer owing to having an ear open to hear things going on around him or her. The old way isn't always inferior. My informal observation is that battery life is excellent. Panasonic specs provided on the owner's instruction sheet included with the radio state that the radio will play 64 hours on 2 AA batteries on FM, or 68 hours on AM. Obviously this testing is at a certain volume level and duty cycle. In real life usage the batteries will last longer if the radio is played at lower volume levels (or through the earphone) and in shorter usage cycles. Playing the radio at high volume levels and for many hours at a stretch will drain the batteries more quickly. This is a top choice among small pocket radios. Simple to use, sounds good, great reception, free retro earphone - plus a dial that glows in the dark.
Review: Good little radio, great reception - It's hard to find a pocket AM/FM radio that has good reception. This one does, pulls in stations well, even AM!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it good for baseball**
A: WHY would you think a radio would have a problem with baseball? Are you a troll out for laughs?

**Q: Can I plug it in rather than rely on batteries alone?**
A: No, it's batteries only.  My other pocket radio has less static than this one.

**Q: will it work around 1250 to 1380 in AM mode?**
A: In a nutshell, yes. I have often used it to get an AM station which broadcasts on the 1340 frequency. Someone named "Suzie" commented, "My FM never works." But that is an irrelevant comment, a non-answer, because you had asked about AM frequencies, not FM.

**Q: Wht are the dimensions of pnasonic rf-p50?**
A: Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included); 2.75 x 4.62 x 1.16 inches (W x H x D);

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid radio with analog tuning.
*by K***O on July 2, 2024*

Panasonic quality is very good. The sound range is above average and is easy on power consumption. I wish it were stereo and the phone jack was on the top of the unit so it would fit in a shirt pocket. When using ear buds, only the left bud operates. I primarily use it when operating a gas powered mower with Panasonic ear buds which serve as ear protection. Good value for the money.
