V117 Portable AM FM Analog Radio Shortwave Battery Operated by 2 AA Battery Transistor Radio with DSP 3.5mm Headphone Jack(Black)

Q: Anyone know why it keeps shutting off? Battiers good.

Mine has since Oct 24 when I received it. I bought a new packet of batteries even to insure having fully charged batteries. This is very frustrating. It is a nice radio when it works. Sometimes it will stay on for 5 minutes and other times 20 seconds. I have run it on USB port successfully for about 15 minutes and then it will shut off. I wish I could get my money back. I like the design and features and hung in there till now, but am getting ready to just set it aside and by an analog SONY that I know will work.

Q: How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced?

Depends on how long you play the radio. I haven't replaced my batteries since I bought the radio in April 2018.

Q: Do you need a shortwave antenna and can it be installed on this radio??
