I'd recommend buying the 3 AA powered Ratakee Model RA02DR as even though it too is not waterproof, it does go loud and has good weak signal reception on AM and it's DSP based as well, it currently is selling for nearly half the price of the Sangean model SR-36 on Amazon. You can also place this Ratakee model in a quart size ziplock bag and it's around the same dimensions as the SR-36, but the digital display is vertically aligned, vice the horizontally aligned analog dial on the SR-36. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little radio! *by on Reviewed in the United States 26 March 2025* I was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews but decided to try one of these little radios anyway as the simplicity of the design, the claimed battery life, and the size was just to attractive for the price. Boy am I glad I gave it a chance - it's an awesome little unit!The reception on mine is fantastic for FM and AM with none of the issues other's have mentioned, no chirping etc, and the knobs have stayed reassuringly stiff after pretty much constant use since it showed up. I believe I saw somewhere that Sangean revised the chip/internals of this model recently which may be why others had different experiences.I also want to mention the battery life, it's very impressive. I use rechargeable batteries and expected to have to swap them out every couple days when the radio is kept on all shift at moderate volume - instead, it lasted the whole week on a single charge!If I had to find something negative to say about the SR-36, the piano black / shiny finish on the front is a bit prone to picking up scratches scuffs and fingerprints. Hardly a deal breaker, but perhaps a bit of an oversight for a radio this size that's going to be handled and moved around a lot.One interesting little quirk, when the batteries get low the radio begins behaving strangely - on rechargeable cells the audio will start cutting out every ~15 seconds, on alkaline it can start making a low muffled hum. The first time either of these happened I though the unit was bad! But no, just low voltage.Overall very happy with this little radio, wouldn't hesitate to buy another! ### ⭐ Radio AM FM SANGEAN *by on Reviewed in Canada 21 September 2023* Cette radio arrive dans un "cheap" emballage de plastique, le devant est tout abimé sur les chiffres du AM et FM un emballage atroce, en plus le son est très mauvais , j' ai plusieurs radios Sangean qui sont excellents , mais celui ci est une honte pour cette compagnie , n' achetez pas , c' est une horreur ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Práctico para adulto mayor *by on Reviewed in Mexico 8 May 2026* Sencillo de manejar ## Frequently Bought Together - SANGEAN SR-36 AM/FM Pocket Radio (Black) - Sangean DT-200X AM/FM Synthesized Pocket Radio - Sangean SR-35 AM/FM Analog Pocket Radio with Built-in Speaker, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/638758859-sr-36-am-fm-pocket-radio](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/638758859-sr-36-am-fm-pocket-radio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
