The PRUNUS J-150 is a compact retro radio measuring 6.7 by 3.7 by 4.2 inches and weighing 1.2 pounds, with a faux wood grain finish and physical tuning knobs. It covers FM from 88 to 108 MHz, AM from 530 to 1710 KHz, and shortwave from 5.9 to 18.0 MHz, using a DSP chip and a 13.7 inch telescopic antenna for reception. Power is the differentiator: it runs off a built-in 1200mAh rechargeable battery, USB charging, D batteries, or a solar panel on top, which is why it doubles as an emergency radio. Beyond broadcast it plays over Bluetooth, TF card, USB drive and AUX, and supports TWS pairing with a second unit. Best fit: a kitchen or workshop shelf, an emergency kit, or a gift for someone who prefers knobs to an app.

Frequently asked questions
Can it run without electricity in a power outage?
Yes. It runs on D batteries or the built-in 1200mAh rechargeable cell, and the solar panel on top can recharge it in daylight, which is why it works as an emergency radio.
Does it pick up shortwave well?
It covers 5.9 to 18.0 MHz shortwave with a DSP chip and a 13.7 inch telescopic antenna. Shortwave reception always depends heavily on location and time of day.
Can I play music from my phone through it?
Yes. It supports Bluetooth, plus TF card, USB drive and AUX input. Two units can also be paired together over TWS.
How big is it?
6.7 by 3.7 by 4.2 inches and 1.2 pounds, with a carry handle. It is a shelf-sized radio rather than a pocket one.
