Supersonic SC-1097BT 3-Band Radio

The Supersonic SC-1097BT is a portable three-band receiver covering AM, FM and shortwave frequencies. It adds Bluetooth streaming, MP3 playback from USB, SD or Micro SD cards and an auxiliary input. A built-in flashlight and carrying strap complete the package for mobile listening.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This unit suits listeners who want a single device for broadcast radio, stored music files and wireless streaming from a phone or tablet. The integrated torch and strap make it practical for camping or emergency kits. Buyers who need digital DAB+ reception, internet radio connectivity or a larger stationary speaker system should consider other options.

Deciding specification: three-band tuner

The defining feature is the combination of AM, FM and shortwave tuning alongside Bluetooth audio streaming. If your primary need is receiving all three analogue bands and pairing a mobile device wirelessly, this model matches that requirement. If shortwave reception or Bluetooth are not needed, simpler radios may be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.89 lb weight make the Supersonic SC-1097BT feel heavy when carrying it all day?

At 2.89 lb the Supersonic SC-1097BT stays light enough for a shoulder strap, and the battery-powered design means no heat or fan noise during extended use.

Do I need to buy a separate charger or special cable to run the Supersonic SC-1097BT?

The unit includes a rechargeable battery and uses its built-in USB port for charging, so no extra power accessory is required.

Will the telescopic antenna on the Supersonic SC-1097BT pick up the same stations as my older tabletop radio?
