The Sony SRF-18 Portable AM/FM Radio is an affordable way to listen to AM/FM radio, portable music devices or record your favorite radio shows. And not just around the house, you can take it pretty much anywhere because it's light (2 pounds) and compact for easy portability. The SRF-18 has two built-in speakers with amplification, so you can benefit from local programming on the radio. Equipped with an audio input, the radio allows you to plug in devices like a smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, cassette deck or turntable. Or, use the audio output to connect a recording device and record programs to listen to later. And keeping the SRF-18 going is as easy as putting in two AA batteries - load them in and get ready to rock
