Review: Good sound quality, price and compact features. - Just starting using this product. I like the fact that it’s small and portable and am able to use as a plug in or battery mode. The dial in works great and the speaker is clear and loud considering its compact size, over all I am pleased with the quality for the lower price point.
Review: Reliable Old-School Radio – Still Going Strong After Years - I bought the Panasonic RF-2400 and it's proven to be one of the most dependable analog portables out there. The sound is surprisingly good for its size—clear AM/FM reception with a decent speaker that fills a small room without distortion at moderate volumes. The tuning dial is smooth and precise, and the analog pointer makes it easy to find stations quickly, even in fringe areas. It runs great on either AC power (cord is long enough to reach outlets comfortably) or batteries—I've used D-cells during outages, and it sips power so a fresh set lasts weeks of casual listening. No digital nonsense, no apps to update, just plug in or pop in batteries and it works every time. The build feels solid: sturdy plastic, good antenna (telescopic FM works well, and the built-in AM ferrite rod pulls in distant stations better than expected). It's not flashy—simple silver design, basic controls—but that's part of the appeal. No Bluetooth or extras to fail; it's pure radio. Reception in my area (suburban SoCal) has been excellent on both bands. For the price, it's unbeatable value if you want something simple, reliable, and long-lasting. This thing will probably outlive most modern gadgets. Highly recommend as a go-to emergency or everyday radio. 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Radio reception is inconsistent and affected by several factors.**
A: Compared to FM, AM radio tends to cover a much larger area. The time of day also plays affects reception. Generally, reception will be better after sunset, when it is not unusual to hear AM stations from hundreds of miles away.

**Q: Reception of local stations is intermittent and sound is inferior, with a lot of static and tinny sound quality.**
A: FM stations offer better sound quality, but FM stations' range is much smaller compared to AM stations. Moving the radio to a different position will often improve the reception. In some rural areas there. May be no FM stations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Radio!
*by J***H on January 5, 2026*

I used this radio at a drive-in theater and it performed well and gave me great audio quality and clarity. The ability to be able to run this radio via the power cord or batteries is great. Easy to use the tuning knob to find your correct station with a red light that illuminates to let you know it's tuned in properly. Easy and simple radio from Panasonic. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommended!
