Panasonic RF-2400DEB-K Portable FM/AM Radio with Digital Tuner, Large Dial, Mains and Battery powered, Easy to Use Radio for Home, Travel or Outdoors

This is a very good kitchen radio indeed, very high quality for the price, weighty and substantial with a decent quality speaker that has a 1w RMS rating. This means that it can go reasonably loud without any distortion, and because it is a good speaker in itself the sound quality is very good indeed, not tinny, but with a nice intermediate tone which is otherwise nonadjustable. Unlike a lot of radios, or any equipment today, this hasn't suffered a cost-cutting exercise of not including a mains lead, and as this was to be the only power supply method that this radio was to utilize it was a necessity to have one supplied. It is also a standard lead with the figure-of-eifght connector, not one of those dumb ones that have a built in transformer. It's extremely simple to operate. There's a three-position switch above the very large and clear frequency window, the positions of which show a day-glo orange marker next to or under the function that represents its position. Put the switch all the way to the left and the radio is OFF. One click to the right it is on FM, and all the way right AM. Tuning is done with the obvious knob on the side, it is not jerky, it is smooth and stiff enougfh to be able to tune accurately, so it's extremely easy to tune, it also has a red LED that tells one when it has reached the maximum quality (signal strength) of tuning for any channel. This radio successfully picked up BBC Radio Wales, which is something that I was barely able to do with my old one - ever, and it picked it up with a strong enough signal to light that LED, This means that the aerial and the components inside are very good too. Volume is controlled by a knurled wheel on the side and it also had a headphone jack.

Bought this as a portable radio for when we go to some of the racetracks around the UK to listen in to commentary whilst trackside. Works a treat for what we want. Pros: - Easy to dial in, picks up signals clearly - Volume is loud, even trackside we've never got close to having it at full volume. - Batteries - Simple AA batteries are easy to use, and the battery life is great. - Light. Doesn't way a lot so you aren't hauling a load of extra weight with you. Possible Cons: - The handle doesn't fold flush with the radio, so always sticking out slightly. Not an issue, just makes it a tiny bit more awkard if you don't have much storage space. - That's all, can't really fault it.

Does the job it's designed for well. Picks up regular AM and FM stations easily and stays locked on. It has a good clear sound and plenty of volume. Not for DXing, it's not especially sensitive, just adequate. Batteries last fairly well. In short it does what it says on the tin. EDIT. For those of you who do like to 'DX', attaching about 15 inches of wire to the antenna transforms FM, pulling in loads of stations from neighbouring counties.

While it loses out to DAB in terms of the stations available it has a decent battery life from 4 AA batteries. Battery life is given as around 50 hours but I have not been using this long enough to confirm. The DAB radio I have eats 4 AAs in a matter of 3 to 4 hours. The Panasonic uses a standard mains lead which is much cheaper and easier to replace than a dedicated low voltage power supply should it be lost or damaged. The reception on both FM and AM is better than my DAB radio, (that was not cheap). It has a ear piece socket that appears to be mono only. There is no Bluetooth, USB input pre-sets or station identification (RDS). It has a sturdy carry handle that can be used as a stand. It has a good size speaker which provides reasonable sound quality. A tuning light shows when you have a good station lock. This radio is a modern equivalent of a 1940s valve radio but with up to date circuitry. Unlike TV the benefits of a digital radio system are not overwhelming. Hopefully the UK government will continue with analogue radio transmission. If your a prepper this could be a good choice for receiving emergency broadcasts. The proposed 2023 UK emergency alerts system relies on the mobile phone network. Which is fine as long as its still working in your area. And assuming it ever gets completed.

Excellent quality, superb sound, very eaxy and accurate tunning.

The Panasonic 2400DEB-K Portable Radio has been around for well over fifteen years but is just so well-designed that there is really no need to improve or update it. It you want one of the best AM/FM radios still available then this model has a lot to offer – there is obviously no DAB, and the lack of Long Wave may put some buyers off, but for performance and features it is hard to beat at the price. It has a large speaker for it's size – this can be seen in the illustration – and the tuning scale is clear with FM marked in MHz and European Channel numbers, with AM in both KHz and Metres. The Panasonic RF 2400D is battery/mains and can be powered by four AA batteries (not supplied) or by AC using the supplied detachable power cord. It features a sliding band/power switch, a large rotary tuning knob, a discreet volume control and a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening – no phones are supplied. A telescopic FM aerial, LED tuning indicator and folding carrying handle complete this rather attractive little radio that is one of the best portable radios I've owned – good on both FM and Medium Wave - I have been using it a lot to listen to Radio Caroline's AM service on 648 KHz during lockdown. If you can find one at around thirty quid you will get one of the best radios at the price and the Panasonic 2400DEB-K model - made by Panasonic Indonesia - gets five stars for value and the features it offers.

I haven't actually seen the radio as I bought it for someone for their birthday. It's a Panasonic, so you'd expect it to be good quality. The recipient rang to say they were delighted with it. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

As always I read the reviews before ordering this radio. It arrived quickly as was just as good as the reviews said it was. Excellent value for money too.

جدا ممتاز من سنه واهو عندي والصوت صافي وطاح مني كذا مره وماشاء الله ماخرب

I have checked 3-4 radios before this radio but no one had shown a satisfactory performance. I always wished to present my mother a good radio. Here ends my search. The sound quality of the radio is very clear and loud. The FM reception is crystal clear and AM reception is also satisfactory. The design and build of the radio is much appealing. It works on both cells and power supply. My mother uses it wherever she wants by plugging its cord into the electricity mains. Altogether a relaxing experience after buying 4th radio. No more searching for radios on Amazon now. We are happy.

The Panasonic RF-2400 has always intrigued me. As you can tell by my user name, I love radios. All types! I've owned Sonys, Grundigs, Bose, Sangeans, you name it, I've owned it at one time or another. A few weeks ago I ordered this wonderful radio. From the minute I turned it on, I was very impressed. First, the sound.... Unbelievable. If you've ever owned a GE Superradio and heard the sound from it, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. A clear, crisp sound emits from the 3.5" speaker. Control knobs are simple. Tuning is acurate. What more could you ask for in a radio. It would make a perfect gift for anyone. Especially if they listen to much radio at all. Another great product from Panasonic!
