Reddit reviews Kaito KA200 Pocket AM/FM Radio, Black

I even take a little radio to the games with me to listen to Vin.

I use the dodger promotional earbuds they gave away earlier this year. It's perfect.

I use a Kaito KA200 radio when I'm outside but I mostly use a Sony ICF-S10MK2 at home. The Mets broadcast only through AM radio but in 2013-14, they were broadcast on WFAN's FM simulcast which made the broadcast very clear with less static than AM radio.

This thing was cheap and great

I picked up one of these last year: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00408K36Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491357326&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=kaito+ka200&dpPl=1&dpID=41icnKYdKnL&ref=plSrch

It's super tiny, very pocketable, and has a headphone jack. It's super handy.

Oh. You didn't say clock radio. That's hilarious. You should get a little transistor. This is the one I use.

Funny thing about that: When hurricane Sandy hit, I tuned in to the local FM radio station (which I usually don't listen to because it's a lot old guys waxing ignorant about politics, and repetitive music).

The first thing I heard when I switched on the radio? "Well, if you're tuning in to us to find out what's going on... we don't know either. Our internet is down, our cable TV is down, and our phones are down. And that's all of the ways we get our information."

So, it was pretty useless.

Also, a cheap battery powered AM/FM radio or even a crank-powered model, is going to be a lot more efficient and reliable in an emergency than a smartphone sucking down battery searching for a cell signal, that also happens to have an FM receiver in it.
