Comparing the best AM radios, the CCrane EP PRO and Sangean PR-D4W, to a very good but normal reception Tecsun PL-660. After hurricanes owning one of these extremely sensitive receivers might be your only way to get news and other information. After hurricane Laura radios towers were damaged in our area, cell service was gone, and even landline phones were dead. Our local NOAA weather tower was also damaged. But with good AM radios I was able to get news from outside the damage area and find out what was going on, get weather information, and get estimates about where the crews were repairing downed electric lines.

Here are links to these radios and even a high quality and very sensitive budget AM/FM radio with the best battery life of any radio on the market at 400+ hours...

Sony ICF-19...a 30 dollar AM powerhouse with incredible battery life. It isn`t as good on AM as the first two but it`s the next best for under 100 bucks. It is THE best radio for extended power outages made having four times the normal battery life: [ Ссылка ]
