G-Project G-Storm AM FM BT Weather Alert Portable Radio Review

- The G-Project G-Storm AM FM Bluetooth NOAA Weather Alert Emergency Portable Radio is not your typical Survival Information Center. Sporting No Dynamo, or Solar Panel, the Receiver relies on its internal Lithium Battery, and Standard AA Batteries to Stay Running. No Parasitic Drain of a Clock / Alarm will keep the Battery Fresh if charged twice a Year. How is the Reception you ask? Most Excellent :) Cool Display, Powerful Audio, Active Alert Mode, and IPX4 Water Resistant are some of the features I found nice to have.

Features I like about the G-Style G-Storm:
Above Average FM Reception.
Clear Inverted Display.
Strong, Pleasing Speaker Audio.
Weather Alert Mode can Stay active While the Radio is Tuned to AM, or FM.
Decent Three Mode Flashlight.
Power Bank Feature.
Above Average NOAA Weather Reception.
IPX4 Water Resistant.
Forty Presets, Twenty Per Band.
Incremental, and Browse Tuning.
The Ability to Manually Enter Presets.
Red LED for Alert Mode Status While the Radio is Off.
Water Resistant AA Battery Compartment.
AM Reception is Good.
Features that could be Added or Improved on:
Ditch the Fixed Carabiner.
Add a Clock/Alarm Feature. Important during a Power Outage.
Have the 18650 Replaceable, like the C.Crane CC Radio Solar.
A Sturdy Dynamo for those who forget to stock batteries.
Overall, this is a Great Emergency Radio to have on Hand. Just keep Extra batteries for it, in case you don't keep up with the Charge Cycles. Expect excellent audio while you tune the bands, or listen to your favorite Music over Bluetooth. At $34, the price is decent. Save up some Gift Cards, and get one for free :)

Additional: reception: ~good(add a tuned loop for very good)... charge: good.... sound: AMAZING! I use this in living room with a TERK tuned antenna for background tunes...very nice,
Excellent review! I have this radio, and I wasn't aware of the automatic preset feature. Thank you, Jeff
I got one randomly seen it and bought it absolutely love it. Take it everywhere. A lot in 1.
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video to show up.
I have this radio, and I absolutely love it!
Got one for my son for Christmas. Wasn't sure what to expect fron the radio, suprised it wasn't junk. I would like a longer whip antenna, but it does pretty good with what it has. You can even help along the am signal with a passive loop antenna. I am not sure if my son will use it the way radio enthusiasts would, he liked the gorilla logo lol, but he may clip it on his backpack and hop on his bike... Overall a decent little radio. I have had much higher bar tabs so 35 bucks.. Sure, why not! Thanks Todderbert, another fine video!
Hej Todderbert thanks for the review interesting radio and I definitely need an emergency radio and this one seems very nice take care Todderbert and have a nice day.
Try looking for the altec lansing storm chaser. You don't see much about it online, but it's an awesome unit. It has am, fm, shortwave, as well as the noaa weather bands with alerts, but not only that it also has Bluetooth, a lantern, a flashlight, and it's solar and crank powered as well as having a long lasting battery, and to top it off it sounds VERY good and even has bass and treble controls. It's the best all in one unit I've ever seen by far and the reception is really good too. I wish it had a longer whip antenna, but it does great with what it has and even pulls in some shortwave which is impressive bc I live in a fringe area where most radios barely pick up anything at all.
Another very fine review
I saw this brand at my local Walmart recently and did not take it seriously whatsoever. I saw the gorilla on the front and thought this must be designed for kids, and that it can't be any good. Based on what I'm seeing here, I am pleasantly shocked by how good this radio is for the money. After not having a very good experience with their ONN brand, Walmart must be stepping up their game with this brand. Thanks for the review.
I bought one of these radios last year for a work radio. Worked great but within the past few weeks the FM band reception sharply declined and I can't figure out why. All the other bands and bluetooth work great but the FM band seemed to quit working for me.
Nice radio!
I bought one of these last summer to use with FM and bluetooth by the pool. It has great sound and volume for such a small unit, but I noticed that inside, especially on FM and bluetooth, the volume is too loud at level V01 for personal use. V0 is silent, and V1 is too loud. I was wondering if that was the case for all these radios, or if mine is 'different.' Thanks for the review!
Mine is the same. I think the idea is these are outdoor radios, “Get Out and Play” printed on the box, not a personal one to fall asleep with. Notice the lack of a headphones jack, timers, or alarms. Still, this seems like an oversight, no wonder why the battery doesn’t last as long, though I noticed the display goes out after awhile.
I could care less about AM/FM features, I just am looking to ensure this is ready to send weather alerts in the middle of the night. So once i have my local weather band set, I shut off the unit and hold down the alert button??? Also, do you know if it will damage the life of the rechargeable batteries if I constantly leave it plugged in overnight? Thank you in advance!!!
I'm looking for this multi features radio.
I dont see anything about the battery life . Rechargable? How many hours do it gives?
How about tuning steps for FM ? 100 kHz ? But on Midland Weather Radios: 200 kHz steps for FM
Perhaps I'm just out of touch but you lost me when you brought in those other devises. What were you doing and demonstrating exactly?
Anyone know where and which antenna I could buy for a replacement. my antenna broke off. I’m not even sure what size, as I bought a replacement antenna from Amazon and it doesn’t fit. Any help would be appreciated.
We have one but does anyone know why the flashlight would be on slow blink, and you can't turn that off?
Thanks for the Spider-Man 😉
I actually like the AM band on the radio alot for my location i can get 870 AM WWL!
It is awesome, I paired this with the Terk Advantage Passive Loop, and was pulling stations in from all over. I will be uploading some dedicated band scan videos.
@@todderbert that is pretty cool im also planning to try to buy a passive loop for the G-70W
Can you Bluetooth from the radio to ear buds. Cause that's what I need for work. So I can leave it up on one of the gas pumps while I work with the ear buds in my ear.
This radio is BT Receive only. Eventually portable radio companies will figure out a way of sending audio data through BT without affecting band reception. Everyone wants this feature on a radio.
Got this before you, honestly though, kinda sucks you can only get it at Walmart, and walmart online. I remember getting WGN and WABC on this
I have this but have no clue how to bluetooth
Can you disable the alert function so if you have it on the weather band you don’t hear the siren go off when you receive an alert or is that not an option?
You can just listen to the weather band, when an alert tone comes through the radio it should not activate the siren unless you were in Alert mode.
@@todderbert thank you for answering my question! I might get the radio now. I’ll only set it to weather alert in case anything bad is moving through my area.
I just bought 1 today. The manual tells how to charge the battery but it doesn't tell how long it takes to do a full charge. Does anyone know how long it takes to fully charge the battery?
should take three to four hours.
Why did my G Storm radio stop working
Is this good collection starter?
I have an issue with it dumping the battery. It runs a clock all the time. If you can find the Sangean MMR-88, that is a great choice, minus BT.
@@todderbert thanks. Do you have any other recommendations? I’m that kind of girl who is looking for a good Christmas starter but does not want to break her mama’s bank just something to try out you know WX and FM Are going to be two features that if they are done well, would make it a winner for me as I mainly use the radio to keep up with sports and weather radios are one of those things I have been that has fascinated me for a while. I want to get one and see if it would be something that I’d like to dive further into. Thanks.
@@todderbert once again thanks.
@@emrilbennett8704 Depending on your needs, there are digital, analog, emergency styled, normal style, ect. check out my emergency radio playlist to see what suits you best.
Mine won’t pair to phone anymore
Radio
Just got 1 for 34$..
Me to
Bigest problem that coul ever happen. You use the flashlight and it drains it fast. Now you have no light and no radio. Fail!
Make sure to have some extra AAs on hand.
nitecore new p12 and a c crane. peace
