Panasonic Portable AM/FM Radio, Battery Operated Analog Radio, AC Powered, Silver (RF-2400D)

I bought the Panasonic RF-2400 and it's proven to be one of the most dependable analog portables out there. The sound is surprisingly good for its size—clear AM/FM reception with a decent speaker that fills a small room without distortion at moderate volumes. The tuning dial is smooth and precise, and the analog pointer makes it easy to find stations quickly, even in fringe areas. It runs great on either AC power (cord is long enough to reach outlets comfortably) or batteries—I've used D-cells during outages, and it sips power so a fresh set lasts weeks of casual listening. No digital nonsense, no apps to update, just plug in or pop in batteries and it works every time. The build feels solid: sturdy plastic, good antenna (telescopic FM works well, and the built-in AM ferrite rod pulls in distant stations better than expected). It's not flashy—simple silver design, basic controls—but that's part of the appeal. No Bluetooth or extras to fail; it's pure radio. Reception in my area (suburban SoCal) has been excellent on both bands. For the price, it's unbeatable value if you want something simple, reliable, and long-lasting. This thing will probably outlive most modern gadgets. Highly recommend as a go-to emergency or everyday radio. 5 stars.

I used this radio at a drive-in theater and it performed well and gave me great audio quality and clarity. The ability to be able to run this radio via the power cord or batteries is great. Easy to use the tuning knob to find your correct station with a red light that illuminates to let you know it's tuned in properly. Easy and simple radio from Panasonic. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommended!

Just starting using this product. I like the fact that it’s small and portable and am able to use as a plug in or battery mode. The dial in works great and the speaker is clear and loud considering its compact size, over all I am pleased with the quality for the lower price point.

Great little radio for a good price. The radio is what it is for it's size and price. Pleasant sounding easy to use seems like it should last for quite some time. If I needed a radio for another room, wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Nice sound good reception. Nice and compact should be great for camping

convenient radio with good sound. Even with hand tuning via know it receives radio stations clearly and has excellent sound volume.

I've only had it one day after spending a week researching. I will update if it implodes! Originally I wanted a hand held MP3 player like the one I had (Scandisk). It (they) worked great for about 6 months and after replacing it only worked for 3 months. Finally I decided unless you want to spend over $100 to work out on you exercise equipment with music, spend time loading it off the computer etc. that maybe just a small radio would do. That's when the real work began. I read every review. I compromised big time because a sensible person wrote a great review for us partial Luddites...(G. Ritter von Olfers-Batock). The world of radio hardware is evaporating before the world of digital is fully ready. I don't want to spend time figuring out how to get music, when I used to just put the damn thing on and there it was! And that is exactly what this Panasonic does...well. I'm hoping it lasts but if it doesn't I'll just buy another ... a bargain even at $24.00...especially at $24. I have a $400 KLM 200 redwood two piece radio...the cats meow years ago...outside and inside antennas. This $24 Panasonic has a stronger clearer speaker. I only wish two things...that it was a bit smaller so I could balance it on my treadmill, and that the headphone sound was not monaural. I compromised, and am a happy camper. I'll plug the radio into the wall (yep that works, remember plugs? They don't cost you money replacing every three months like batteries) and play it off the terrific speaker built into it. It doesn't pick up AM stations all that well (but it does pick up the ones with the most ads!)....but I rarely listen to AM and it gets all the good FM stations very wll. The sound is clear as a bell, you can almost hear the violinist breathing! Now my only issue is I'm enjoying it so much in my bedroom I don't want to take it down to our "gym". BUT...it's light and portable and small enough (about the size of the old beach radios) to take it with me and put it back without a lot of effort. Almost all the MP3 type players (even the ones with hundreds of good reviews) had enough bad reviews to sound more legit than the 4 & 5 stars ones....a waste of money. I'm not that cool...gullible o rich! A BIG THANK YOU to G. Ritter von Olfers-Batock!

This compact wall/battery powered single 4" speaker radio has great tone and volume control for its compact size. The digital FM lock keeps fiddly stations in tune and steady volume. Battery power apparently is long-lasting (not tested yet), so the radio is portable and works in power-failures! Tuning is easy and obvious with a highlighted bar and locks well. The volume, around the side and behind the tuning know is a bit of a nuisance as is the sliding on/off-FM-AM 'switch" which is a single glider above the tuner frequency bar, which takes getting used to because the radio is not heavy and one-handed on/off, FM, AM control takes a bit of practice. However, compared with radios generally, it is a bargain and a very good quality unit that works well even with weak radio signals.

Working very well and sound quality is also very good

Este radio se lo regalé a mi mamá hace dos años y sigue funcionando perfectamente, es sencillo y práctico, sintoniza AM y FM sin problemas, pero hay que hacer enfasis en que siendo para una persona mayor que aún utiliza mucho el AM no ha decepcionado, el sintonizador es tan bueno o un poco mejor que un radio sony antiguo de casette que aún usa mi mamá, tanto que no tiene problema entre usar este o su viejo sony sin distinciones. El sonido de la bocina es agradable, no tiene agudos molestos, ni los graves son molestos, el sonido dominante es en los medios lo cual es perfecto, un sonido que no cansa al oido. La calidad del material es plástico pero de buena resistencia, no es ese plástico que apenas lo aprieta y rechina, este es bien sólido de calidad. Utiliza 4 pilas doble A que duran bastante, mi mamá usa 4 pilas de las recargables de 2000mah cada una, y duran más de un mes a veces dos, también se puede utilizar con un cable directo a enchufe como el de la plancha si es que no se quiere usar pilas, ese cable venía incluido. En fin no sé qué más decir, un producto redondo, más que probado, es tan simple que es dificil encontrarle algún detalle, tal vez por quejarme es que hay marcas chinas que incluyen lector de tarjetas o usb pero esos radios son muy corrientes, prefiero que sea simple y de calidad a que tenga muchas cosas y no haga bien ni la mitad.

صوته واضح ورائع جداً 👌
