Battery-powered radios are everywhere. This one has something I have never seen in one though. You install both 4 D-cells and 4 AA's, then use a switch to pick which set to use. Battery backup for the batteries! Since solid state radios with battery power can have a fairly long period of operation before the batteries die, imagine how nice it is to have some reserve to go along with that "just in case"? During an emergency situation you may not be able to get more batteries so having a radio which has the ability to provide a reserve is valuable. AM and FM reception are outstanding. The sound is strong and clear. I wish this radio had a better tuning knob but that is the only down note. When it comes to carrying straps it takes a back seat to no radio and it is fairly light even with 8 batteries installed, so expect ease of portability during a need to move, There is not much on shortwave these days compared to past decades but you can still get WWV (the time signal) on 5, 10, 15 and 20 Mhz rather well, then use the information to set the clock, which can operate in either 12 or 24 hour mode. Since this radio is out of production you can only get it used and that means varying conditions. Be sure to buy one that is as good as possible if you want to count on it.Read full review

Nice, easy to use. Good reception both am/fm. Works well with ac adapter as well as 4 D size batteries. Short wave is pretty cool too.

Although mine arrived with of all things blood stains (I am an EMT and have seen blood stains before, and this was blood) the radio cleaned up well, and is a great addition to my portable receiver gear. I highly recommend these radios... sturdy, great reception.

we live out a ways from town and the reception is great. I wanted a good radio that would fit the bill we needed and this is it. Very happy with the Tecsun BCL 2000.
