We had to return it because there was no TV audio band on the FR300. The one we received had AM/FM/Weather only. That was unfortunate because the radio was of excellent quality and sounded great for a small portable.

Reviewing the FR-300 weather / news radio. Do not buy this radio. It is cheap, made in China, and is a lousy radio. You cannot tune it into a station…it slides all over. The tuning capacity is zero, reception on any band is terrible. The T.V. settings are all mixed up…again, reception lousy. Weather band too. This radio is really the worst….do not buy it. Waste of money….and very overpriced. It does NOT live up to what is written about it. Rating “horrible”…..do not buy.

The shipping and delivery was on schedule. The recipient seems to like the radio, etc. but I do not know how it works since he lives in another state.

Great product. During the Florida hurricanes of 2004, we were cut off from the news for a few days. Now, with this radio, we’re ready for the next power outages.

Purchased it for a trip to the summit of Mt Baker, but didn’t need to use it and did not try it out yet.
