Description
This might be the single worst radio I've ever used -- the Innovage Outdoor branded AM/FM/Weather Band Radio with Outdoor Night Light. This was given to me in the 2000s, I think by my aunt&uncle as a Christmas gift, because it has the NOAA Weather Radio band. Unfortunately what it doesn't have to go along with it is any reception.
The FM tuner is the worst I've used to date. Absolutely atrocious reception only picking up a few channels, and poorly at that. The Weather Band reception was worthless, not a single channel came in to any usable degree anywhere in the house. Surprisingly, the AM reception was the best out of the 3, not that it's a high bar to clear, and picked up several stations to a listenable degree.
Since the reception was so poor, I can't really comment on the sound quality of the onboard speaker or how loud it goes. The audio quality was improved through the connection of external speakers, but still hindered by the poor reception.
The unit also has a light on top, which is referred to as both a torch and a night light, which to me are two completely different items. I believe this was sold as a camping accessory. If you're out in the middle of nowhere and your eyes are adjusted to the darkness, the pitiful LED torch does actually provide enough light to gently illuminate a pathway, but that's about it.
The unit operates on 2 AAA batteries. I suspect the 'torch' would last quite a long time per set of batteries. I'm not sure how long the radio portion lasts, but I'm also not sure why you'd want it turned on anywhere near long enough to discharge the batteries.
