My Radios: Thomson RT462 P 4 Band Radio

The cataloging of my many affordable radios goes on and here is a post from my radio-related blog (link below).

For completion's sake, here is another radio from my collection - an early 2000s Thomson RT462 P radio.

It's an affordable cheaper consumer radio but still has a Shortwave band, and overall is pretty good on shortwave and FM in particular.

Features:
4 bands, MW, LW, SW, FM
Two-way speakers - good sound
Power: batteries and AC from the mains
FM: extended 64 to 108 MHz, including the Soviet / OIRT (64-74 MHz), the Japanese and European bands all in one.

I gather, Thomson SA was a French company, a part of a large and storied conglomerate from way before the 1960s but bankrupted and sold off finally sometime in the mid-2000s.

A battery and cord storage compartment.

Overall, as I said, it is surprisingly good for the type, especially on FM, but not so shabby on SW either but you should take its obvious limitations caused by it having and analog tuning dial.
