Portable Radio With Built In Speaker

Solidly built, easy to use, surprisingly good speaker for such a small radio.

l listen to distant AM radio stations and shortwave broadcasts. Sometimes l like to record the broadcasts. l don't use the built in mics, l plug my radio's headphone output into the DR-05X's mic/line in with a 1/8 stereo patch cord. You can't monitor the input signal with the built in speaker. You need to have an external speaker plugged in to the DR-05X to monitor what you're recording. l find it's better to adjust the record levels manually. lf you use the auto record level, the level increases during a soft part of the source. Then when a loud part hits, the levels go way too high for about a second until it goes back down. The equalizer is not much use. lt's for playback only, not for recording. And it's just presets-bass-, bass+, treble-, treble+, etc. l'm getting about 5 hours off battery life with NIMH AA batteries. But that's not till they die-l charge them when the battery indicator gets down to 1 bar. And l have the backlight on all the time. The tripod socket appears to be plastic instead of metal. But l don't care because l don't use it. The built in speaker is not to enjoy listening to recordings with. Just good enough for monitoring. lt's not very loud and almost sounds like a tweeter. Headphones sound good though.

I needed a speaker to connect to a new internet radio which has a rudimentary built-in speaker. The radio connects via Line-out to these speakers, and all 3 pieces plus a lamp fit on my 16x18 bedside table. The speakers are only separated by a few inches but still produce a full stereo sound, just what I wanted. Good price, good sound. Very happy.

I am using to switch between my GPS and my portable radio

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Portable Bluetooth Speaker is so nice and sleek  the quality is really amazing and the sound that comes from the portable speaker sounds great.  However, the design so unique and  I like how you can carry it on the go wherever you choose.  One thing like about the  Portable Bluetooth Speaker is how it has a arm wristlet that you can carry in hand   and also how easy it is to connect it to your Bluetooth as well.  Overall,  I would definitely recommend to anyone whose looking for a really great  portable speaker  to use anytime you like.  Nonetheless, it's very easy to charge it which is awesome.

Just what I needed to complete my portable base radio.

The case is used for my Portable Ham radio KX2 and everything fits very nice, including my portable Packtenna. Thanks for a great product! Tomy AZ

The Panasonic Portable radio has much better audio than other portable radios. B&H Photo & Video’s price was a good bargain!

Well built product. Compliments the ruggedness of the BR200 Business Radio. Allows the radio to be stashed in a pocket or attached to a belt and no longer need to touch the radio to communicate.

I own the wave radio, headphones, sound bar and also the speaker. I’m very happy!!
