About this product
The Bush FM Portable Pocket Radio is a properly portable companion for when you're working in the garden, walking to the stores, or just fancy listening to your favourite station without being tied to one spot. It picks up FM and AM bands so you can catch everything from Radio 2 to local news and sport, and with 20 preset stations you can store your regulars and switch between them instantly. The clear LCD display shows you what you're tuned into at a glance, and the mono speaker means you can listen out loud or plug in headphones (not included) when you want to keep it private.
It genuinely fits in a pocket or tool belt, and with up to 10 hours of battery life from 2 x AAA batteries (not included), it'll see you through a full day of pottering about without needing a recharge. The headphone socket delivers 0.25 watts RMS, which is plenty for personal listening, and the simple controls mean you're not faffing around trying to find your station. It's the sort of radio you can chuck in a bag, take to the allotment, or keep in the shed without worrying about it. Comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Ideal pocket radio
What an excellent little radio! We bought 2 on our way to Silverstone so we could keep up with everything going on. They did not disappoint! They are a perfect size for your pocket.

Great small, light highly portable radio
Great small, light highly portable AM/FM radio for listening to radio commentary while watching sporting events. Does the job but don't expect good low frequencies from the speaker. Battery life is good (Still on 1st batteries after 12+h of FM listening through earphones* with volume set high). Telescopic aerial. Has clock functionality, 10 memories per channel and a "hold" feature to disable buttons to prevent changes e.g when in a pocket. *not included in box

Great pocket radio
Handy cheap pocket radio. Means you're able to listen to music without draining your mobile battery. Also, avoids having a mobile in clear sight unnecessarily if likely to be pinched. Sound is good. Handy for exercise.

Vrey good except for volume
Good radio except that the highest volume isn't really high enough, especially if there is some ambient noise where you are listening.

Quiet loudspeaker
Bought couple of days ago , bought multiple times before in a few years. Easy to put in pocket, slightly awkward the socket for earphones is on the side not on top near antenna. The antenna was stiffer than my last pr50 which is a good thing. Using 650mah rechargeable batteries and lasts about 18 hours. The interference on am waveband is cope able bit annoying. FM with strong signal is excellent. Wish there was a memory for the frequency saved. Runs out of energy re-input stations back again. Overall is excellent performance and recommended for those who enjoy analogue radio, has digital frequency inputs. Shame FM is going to be fizzled out maybe in 8 years.
