AM radios are about $10 new, and probably considerably less at your local equivalent of Goodwill. Having one seems like a very cheap and very simple disaster preparedness measure.
- kragen 3y agoi'm sure they don't cost anywhere near that much, here's one for 7 dollars new even here in argentina found immediately upon searching https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/radio-portatil-am-fm-parlante-con-entrada-aux-con-pilas-no-incluidas/p/MLA23769232 https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/radio-portatil-am-fm-parlant... with some effort you can probably find one under a dollar new
- wishfish 3y agoHere's an AM/FM/Shortwave for $10 [1]. This is not an endorsement as I haven't used this model. I personally have a Tecsun radio bought for around $30 that does a great job. Will be useful in an emergency. And about once a year, I play the game of "what's the farthest AM station I can receive?" Kinda fun.
