Is this radio self powered?

it has to be connected all the time to car chargers. The design is not good and bulky . I have difficulty mounting it on my dash board. One more thing when you use it you have to get expert help because the connection with FM is wireless and that gives a bad sounds. However, I went to make the connection with FM with wire and that improves the sound significantly. one more thing when you start the care it takes about one minute to get the signal

Yes. This unit has a battery and a small speaker in it. This unit can play stations using it's battery, small speaker, wi-fi signal, and an internet radio subscription. You will need the separate car kit to use this in a vehicle. The car kit comes with the dock, remote, & antenna. The dock will let you charge the unit and has a 3.5 MM AUX output, or you can use the built in FM modulator. The FM modulator only works while the unit is in the powered dock.

I think it will run on battery power for a while.I still would recommend an Onyx radio, the less 'bells and whistles' the better. Just the basic Onyx.they no longer make the lynx, it is only available as a reconditioned item. I had too many problems with it, it and the replacement they sent (refurbished so all I got was someone elses headache). Get the basic onyx.

It is not powered, it is a passive antenna. Just plug it in and position it where you get the best reception for your application. Good luck

This is not powered by battery. It is powered by plugging it into an electrical outlet.

Yes, it is powered.. However, you can obtain a great workout without plugging it in if needed.

No its battery operated and the sound qualify is no that great and it has to be reset to the channel each time you turn it off. It is not user friendly. We bought for my aging father-in-law and it was too complicated for him to operate.

The manual has a picture of it---it's a two-prong polarized AC piug. This is not a battery-powered radio. The battery is only for backing up the alarm setting if there is a temporary power failure.

Directly? Probably not. The output from the panel is DC. It needs a controller to settle it to c. 12+ volts (to charge battery.) If your radio works on 12v DC you are set. If it runs on 110v ac you will need an inverter (DC to ac).

No, this antenna is not powered.My previous response, to the question about the bare wire, explains how this antenna is intended to be used.

Well everything electronic runs on electricity, but I think you are asking whether or not it is portable. The answer to that question is yes, and it is battery powered

Yes, it is a wifi radio. However, you'd be much happier with one from Sangean. I have both, the grace is very noisy when off and needs to be power reset every 7 to 10 days.

This little AM/FM/WX radio uses several sources of power:* the hand crank charges the internal battery,*the solar panel charges the internal battery (in sunlight, of course), *three AAA batteries (not included) also power the radio instead of the internal battery when the front OFF-ON BATTERY switch is set to ON, and*a socket on the side can be used for an external 5V DC input from a computer or power plug (not supplied).Use the AAAs as you wish or if the internal battery has discharged. This is a very useful little radio that pulls in AM, FM, and Weather signals clearly in my local area. I am pleased with it.

Not sure what you mean. The radio works off of regular power or batteries. Your device (phone or iPod) connects via Bluetooth, but this radio does not charge the phone or iPod.

Having installed it (at home) and connected it to use (fine) - I have to admit that I encountered no battery box or literature that suggested it was anything but a passive antenna. Please double check this, with the company!(am an EE with a lot of radio exp. from DC to daylight ... but saw nothing that suggested it was an active antenna).

The radio has a 3 volt "DC In" input jack (looks standard) on it. So the answer is yes, but I have never used it.

Not that I can see. The back of the instrument has 3 jacks--Line out, Mic, and Phone. I'm thinking its battery powered only.

A word to the wise....stay away from this radio. Doesn't matter what type of battery you use, it still sucks. The strongest power source available would be its internal power supply cord and there's no difference in reception between the batteries and the cord. It's a horrible radio and I hope you steer clear. Mick

Nope, it's battery powered. If you ask me, it's kind of a pain in the ass. You have to have AAs on hand.
