My partner spent the money for this *radio* I might give it a thought if it can charge my batteries other wise I’ll stick to playing music from my truck…
Rating: 2 / 5
The reception on this radio is really bad. I bought one and returned it because I thought it was defective. The replacement was the same. I work outside construction so there isn’t a problem with interference from walls. Some of the stations would drift over time and I’m not talking a small drift like 96.1 to 96.3. Im talking 96.1 drifting into 98.1.
I have had better reception from a radio I got for free with a magazine subscription.
Also the auxiliary plug for mp3 players inside the battery compartment is useless because it is so close to the battery you can NOT plug anything into it because the battery is in the way. Even if you try to take the battery out, plug in the cord and then put the battery in you can not get the battery back in because the plug is in the way.
I gave up and got my money back.
I love the great tool designs of Makita but something tells me they did not design this radio. Either that of their designers should stick to tools and stay out of the radio business.

This Jobsite Radio is great to have, the sound quality of the radio just out beat the dewalt and bosch radios. i use the 3.0 18v battery and it last me for about two days fully charged. I also tryed out the MP3 Audio Jack! works great with Ipods. i Rate this Radio 10/10!!!! I never buy any other brand but Makita!

Do not buy this radio if you have 3.0AH Li-ion 18V batteries & want to attach an Ipod. The AUX2 port in the sealed battery/Ipod compartment is next to the battery location & you CANNOT connect a patch cord to this port; the battery is directly in the way. I tried three different patch cords, including one w/ a 90 degree head & none fit w/ the battery in place. I tried plugging the patch cord in prior to inserting the battery & that would not work either. I called Makita & their tech rep replicated the problem & suggested I use the AUX1 port located on the face of the unit. Don’t think I want to drill a hole thru the sealed compartment door to connect the cord to the Ipod. Really STUPID design flaw.
BTW, what’s the deal with the lack of tone controls? Forget separate bass & treble, just a single tone control. Also, found this unit to be too “boomy” for my tastes.

Doesn’t seem practical for a job site at all. Plug is not attached, it’s stored within the unit. it’s an AC adapter type, too pain in the butt for me. Sound quality was not great at louder volume. didn’t see it lasting at work.
