  • Notes
  • Compact FM‑only pocket radio with the familiar auto‑scan tuning system operated by SCAN and RESET buttons on the front panel. This style was produced using open‑mould tooling shared by multiple OEM factories in southern China during the 2000s. Identical or near‑identical sets appeared under various promotional and private‑label names, often without any brand identification.
    The radio includes a fixed short antenna, side‑mounted volume control, and a single FM radio‑on‑chip IC. No manufacturer name or model number is provided.
    These radios were widely used for low‑cost retail items and promotional giveaways. The same cabinet and circuitry were supplied to numerous trading companies, resulting in many unbranded variants.

    Collector remarks:
    Some examples carry personal address labels from previous owners. These labels are unrelated to the manufacturer and were commonly applied in workplaces, schools, or care facilities to identify personal belongings.
