Questions & Answers

Will it get wet if it gets ?

Sangean does say JIS4 on their site. However, JIS4 is not really a water standard in the sense that it deals with drinking water. It is not a proof standard, but a watermark Were resistant to. In essence, JIS4 basically states that products must be able to withstand immersion in water for up to 30 minutes while submerged up to 1 meter. Also, it is not intended for products which are going to be subjected to high-pressure washing or cleaning There is some pressure, but it can get wet without harming it. It is typical to see these products around swimming pools, marine craft, or used anytime the weather is bad. For example, not intended to be taken diving.

How well does it perform when applied to heavily insulated aluminum siding accompanied by fluorescent shop ?

There is one in my large barn with florescent lighting, and it works much better than the radio that used to be As far as I can tell, insulation will not hinder

Can you tell me how well this radio works? Is it dependable and ?

My dear Catie, I am in love with the remake, what a sweet romance My only complaint is the reception , it can be horrible at times, however, being digital it cannot be easily turned , BUT you can use an electric , phone or whatever electronic you have , although I do not have any of that rubbish , just my AM/FM radio . It does not have FM, but for the coolness and durability of the radio, it is worth every penny, but it does need a bigger antenna, you can get one at Radio Shack.

When it gets wet, does it still work? In order to use a waterproof radio while tubing, I need one. ?

However, while the product is rugged and resistant to the elements, it is not waterproof. Should it even come in contact with water, it might not function properly. There is an AC power option, so it cannot be used in serious wet conditions. This is a battery radio, but it can also operate on AC power.

The winter months have been spent in hibernation - I turned it back on - There is nothing good about the warranty Saying goodbye for good to hibernation next
3/5

The purchase occurred on December 12, 2018 Everything is good until September 2019. No sound came from the speakers. A variety of outlets were tried, etc. I don't know. The manufacturer website was visited today for the purpose of returning. Having to return products from Massachusetts to California in addition to paying for shipping, handling, insurance, packaging One) not among the best This product comes with a 1-year I asked one last question before boxing and guess what happened? We plugged in again. As soon as it was turned on, it became active. It has happened three times now, and it is Our plan is to keep the radio, but next time it doesn't turn on, we will give it a non-on time It was a pleasure to send you The new radio will not be the same as the old one! This is a shame because it has such a great look.

It is hard for me to understand what makes this radio so popular! I use it on a porch with a metal roof and close to power lines, so it doesn't have the best reception
3/5

Update on

The rating has been changed from 3 stars to 2 stars but I'd rate it as a 2 and a half. Having never used this radio, I'm not sure why it has such high ratings. I am not happy with the sound quality. Sound and bass in general are bad when there is too much. It is not something you can turn up on a jobsite, nor would you want to. I would be embarrassed to use it on one. Even though it plays loud enough, it still sounds too quiet. Due to its small size and single speaker, it is not able to put out much volume. In an attempt to overcome the poor reception, I had an antenna set up and a coaxial cable professionally installed after getting it in an attempt to rectify the situation, but it was not nearly as effective Although by now I am certain it isn't a good antenna, I would have returned it if I were aware that it would not receive good reception. However, after altering it, I cannot. Because it is the only reason I am doing this, I hope this update will add to the arguments for a different direction. That's what I mean by trying to help the consumer.

The recommendation is to avoid it
3/5

In spite of our high expectations, we were disappointed when we used this radio in our barn. Despite having local stations, the reception was terrible. A very old clock radio provided better reception and sound in the past. Unfortunately, it did not live to tell the tale. It didn't work. We tried moving the radio to different parts of our barn, trying to find a station (half of the barn is a metal pole structure, the other half is wood), but the reception just kept failing. It did not work for us. Taking the radio outside was the only way we got a reception, and the quality of the sound was poor. There was too much bass in the music, making it difficult to understand the people speaking. There was distortion in the music too, as the bass was too loud. There was also a lot of crackling and cutting in and out, and the audio quality was poor. Positivity is the only thing that matters I like how portable it is and how much space it has. Our unit was returned for a refund even though we don't know if the cause of the problem was a defect.

I love this radio station
4/5

It's good and basic. Several months have gone by since I've had this. As for my score, this is a VERY basic radio, which is exactly what I was looking for. Here are my + & It is designed to work well with a crowd or in a noisy environment due to the strong sound. As I only listen to a few stations, there are only five preset buttons, which is perfect for me. I am not rough with any product, but it appears to be made of a sturdy material, so even slight mishaps can be avoided. There is the option to use batteries with this radio, so you can take it camping or to a booth where you sell stuff. Please note that There is no adjustment on the antenna, so if you favor a clear station, you will not be able to point the speaker in the direction you'd like. Instead, you will have to move the entire radio around until you Please note that Except for "on" and "off", there are only two adjustments The "on" and "off" buttons are for volume and music Again, the station only has very basic features, which is fine, but if it could dim the bass a little, that would be nice. not a fan of just hearing the beat of the drum or sounding out hard consonants like "d, p, k, and/or" when listening to talk radio or sermons I like to hear the actual words of the song. The letter "t".

It has good reception and is a great shop radio
5/5

Despite its small size, the Sangean Lunchbox radio has a lot to offer. I was blown away by the reception. You can find AM stations past 500 miles on the AM band.
Search for the model name and model number of this radio for an up-to-date list. You can watch a detailed video review on YouTube. This radio has the following features that I like most BASSS is a bass instrument. Yep, that's what it's got. This device has a nice backlit display that is easy to read. This is an ultra-rugged product. The box says exactly what it A simple to use interface. There's Yellow in the sky! It is perfectly clear to hear both FM and AM! This option gives you more power for your speaker than the AC power option. That's a pretty big deal. The following features I would like to see There is an Aux Jack in. On the Toughbox I know that they have one, but I do not know what color it is. * More presets are available. A radio like this can be used every day. The option of a longer antenna is available. This feature gives you control over the volume. In total, with 52 dollars, this is a pretty good deal. If you're free at 00, you won't want to miss out. Few days later, the price went back up, but Amazon tends to increase prices frequently. You should keep an eye out for another price drop.

You can hear the radio on the barn
3/5

It seems to be well built. The rubber feet are nice and non-slip. The Twin Cities, MN reception and sound are excellent. It's ok on the boat, but not as good as it would be if you were in town. It's a disappointment to have no reception in the all-metal I bought it for my shop, which is what I bought it for. My suspicion is not that the radio is the problem. However, I read that another person had a metal barn that worked fine. Does it need to be by a window or a door? I tried adding a wire to the antenna and even drilled a hole in the barn so that the wire could be run through. This is still a bad idea. It took me a while to get the rubber-covered antenna out of the The station has now been split into two. Radio is a good medium for the public. It was only when I got to the country that I had to draw the line. To hear that is more offensive than I would like to do without. In addition to hooking up to the roof top, I'm going to run wires throughout the house to the antenna. The shed will be used for barn exterior work and boat use if those fail.

It can be used outdoor or indoors and is weatherproof and rugged
5/5

Since I started buying them 4 years ago, I have bought 3 so far. I bought three of them for our porch, one for my husband to use when he works around the house, and one for my mother because she loved ours and has been wanting one for Christmas for the past two years. I paid every penny for them since they are rugged and worth every penny. As for the backup battery, it's great as well. Despite acquiring them years ago, they are still in good shape. In the event that something went wrong, they would buy again.
