Oh, thanks so much for this review, I hadn't even thought it would be mono only! Saved me from disappointment.

I got the RF-P50D on Amazon $14.99 and this variant has digital signal processing or DSP tuning. Although the reception is good on both AM and FM bands. (It was made for Australia) it is more easer to use that the Sony ICF-P26 and more thinner. But the sound on AM is less bright that the Sony but better volumen, but both rattling on high volumen rather than amplifier distorting the sound. On FM is far better but with the DSP when you miss a station, you need to turn back more distance and then turn forward the tuner to catch it again. Both models are discontinued but in this model the dial background is white and it glows in the dark. It would be better that the number were too as this feature it is not helpful. Another thing not mentioned is there is a rectangle at the left of the dial window that shows green when you turn the power/volumen wheel up when you turn the radio on that helps remind you the unit is on. It comes with the earplug type earphones and I think this type of radio does not need to be stereo. It is make no sense.

That's what I wanted to know: whether is a DSP radio. I don't recommend DSP portable radios with analog dial, because it has that infamous false peak tuning programmed on their chips. I have a Sony ICF-19, a bulky radio with good audio and sensitivity, but since I live in a place distant from big cities, it is very hard to try and tune weaker stations on AM, for it favor stations with strong signal.

I am not sure I understand the significance of telling us how poor the packaging is, how much is that going to matter when you are listening to the radio?

I have had radios arrive damaged because of poor packaging. Also, if you were of a mind, the resale would be more valuable if you have everything original. Box, Manuel, etc.

5/5/2023 - Another downgrade is range of AM band; excludes stations 1600 to 1720 Khz. Those were added about 1993 so this radio's design goes back at least 30 years. I like the size and silver-colored case. What would you recommend with stereo jack?? Sony?? Good review, even counting off the # of stations AM/FM.

senorkaboom One should ALWAYS have a portable radio for emergency use. So many just don’t even own one. Emergencies do happen. Hurricane, flood, earthquake, tornado, or some man made catastrophe. There are times when internet is down, and can be down for some time. This is not a bad radio. Neither is the Sony. I prefer Tecsun (r233 or r218). Kaito ( ka210 -with weather band or ka230 “long range “). Kaito also makes a full range of emergency radios.

To be honest i find the cardboard boxes way nicer than the plastic blister packages. Yes the Left channel Mono jack is pretty bad but there's 3,5mm adapters that turn single side Mono into 2 channel mono so you'd get sound from left and right.

Try obtaining the Optimus micro sized radio which makes this Panasonic look bulky. The battery life on my Optimus is incredibly long when it takes 2 x AAA batteries, full stereo quality sound in FM and usual quality in AM. It also has a built in speaker.

I have not tested that, but logically it would. Any time you drive lower output power, you use less power, therefore better battery life. That is why the battery drains faster when you play a radio at higher volume than lower volume.

The pocket radios from year's ago 60-70s were mono. 9V and always came with the ear phone and most had a leather case too ! most brands today don't want to include the ear phone ! . I have the cheap radio shack one no ear phone bummer and they don't last more than 2 years been thru 3 of them ! China crap they are handy for camping and hunting trips the ear piece is low key to catch the games or news . The sound is going to be poor but they serve the purpose . Radio Shack is gone now and can't get them at Walmart or Target or other stores . From the looks of it online only - probably in a few more years they will be gone all together 😯
