Pocket radio to accompany you on a walk

It is an old-fashioned FM pocket radio dedicated to wired earphones.

If you have a smartphone, you can listen to music and news from all over the world whenever you like. On the other hand, listen to the sounds that are accidentally flowing. The joy of such radio is still present.

~PocketRadio is a small radio that combines a slightly nostalgic dial switch operation with a unique 3D printing.

Twist the switch to look for radio waves

A dial switch is used for tuning. It is an auto-scan method that automatically searches for a broadcast station that can be received by twisting the switch. You can switch between broadcast stations with a simple operation without having to adjust the frequencies in detail. There is no frequency scale or preset function.

The dial switch can be operated by fumbling, so you can select a station without taking the main unit out of your pocket even when you are walking.

Instead of selecting what you want to hear in advance, pick up and listen to the radio waves that have reached that location. The coincidence that you don't know what you can hear is also the fun of radio.

A small radio that fits in your pocket

Two AAA batteries are used for the power supply. In addition to general alkaline batteries, it also supports rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries such as eneloop. It can be used continuously for about 12 hours, depending on the battery used, radio wave conditions, volume, etc.

When not in use, you can wrap the earphones around the main unit for a compact fit. If you keep it in your bag or pocket, you can take it out and enjoy the radio when you feel like walking or traveling.

From exterior to electronic circuit

With the spread of 3D printers, resin product modeling has become much more free than before. However, it is not just the exterior that has become free. Printed circuit boards used inside electronic equipment can now be designed and manufactured from small lots.

Design an electronic board to match the shape of the exterior and freely combine each part. With these technologies, even small organizations that do not have large-scale manufacturing facilities can produce their own electronic products.

However, it's never easy to get the functions you need in a small body. In ~PocketRadio, we have considered the arrangement and assembly of parts many times in order to keep electronic boards, switches, wiring, etc. in a limited space. As if making a bottle ship, we will incorporate the parts one by one into the small housing.

It is also important that you can continue to use it for a long time. Each part has a structure that can be disassembled or replaced without being fixed with adhesive. We design and manufacture everything from the exterior to the electronic circuit by ourselves, so we can repair it with our own hands when problems arise.
