JensenPortable AM/FM Digital Radio

I like it, it has a sleep timer and uses 4 AA batteries and has pretty decent sound quality, because it's PLL digital tuning and it's relatively sensitive, I'm going to guess that this particular model hasn't been infected with the DSP chip craze, at least all the indicators seem to indicate that the tuning isn't off frequency like a typical analog DSP radio often suffers from an inability to fine tune the frequency adjustment before it leaves the assembly area at a given factory production facility.Update: I had some trouble with long term battery life, but that's a given even thought when I had batteries in it, it seemed to last for a few months before the batteries drained out while turned off, but it should be noted, I only used it occasionally before retiring to hear a few news stories, so unless you go to the trouble of buying an adapter for this radio, it will eat up 4 AA's even when it's turned off. I currently have it un-batteried as I didn't want to risk leakage when not in use, but after reading a few of the other reviews, one of them sounds exactly like one of the fatal flaws of a DSP radio where turning up the volume all the way starves the VCO effectively killing the radio "DSP chip" ability to do what typical analog, (non-DSP) radios hardly ever have trouble operating if the volume is turned all the way up.

Good sound for local stations

Total waste of my money. Only 4 months of purchase and using it very little, this radio is already not working. It shuts off all the time and doesn’t turn back on most of the time. I have replace the batteries with new new numerous times and same thing. I found myself banging or hitting it to get it to turn and it seems to do the trick but only for a few minutes. I bought this solely for the purpose of using this at work and it is actually quite embarrassing having it going on and off all the time! Total disappointment considering that I really like the design of this model. Don’t buy!

First taking out of the box, Jensen Radio feels sturdy, and well made.Dials are very easy to operate, however the button functions are as easy to grasp at first.You have to read MANUAL. Possibly twice.AM/FM WORK! GOOD RECEPTION.

The programming is not intuitive and a little difficult, especially hard to program the time of day. However, the unit is compact and has good sensitive reception inside the house, were higher end radios with wire antennas get alot of hash and static. The signal is clear and the audio is very good. It needs a headphone jack ! It would have been nice if they included the wall charger /power source with the unit. For $18, I guess I will keep it.

Has a total of 20 station presets. Easy to use. Worth it at the price.

This is a good little radio but it doesn’t come with a power adapter. It works well with batteries but it is good to order a power adapter along with it.

As expected, good radio
