The Makita Job Radio

Makita has made a ‘job site’ radio for in the field workers to listen to while at work.

Being that I am a fan of makita products I will be touching down on the key features of their new footprint radio.

I use a lot of these products in my day to day life and want to provide some insight on these products before you as the consumer purchase these products. I will try to keep this as short as possible for the sake of brevity.

The makita radio is a FM-AM radio and has two channels with a 5-watt output equipped with speakers full of clarity
and punch. It has a molded casing with neoprene end-panel protectors and chrome control panel bars for further protection.
It also has a digital push button channel selection system and a rotary knob for control of the volume and tuner.

As of this writing there are two different makita radios in production. They are similar in price but different in
color with one being the traditional makita blue and the other being white. The white has an auxiliary jack for hooking up your iPod or mp3 player but the blue does not. Both are cordless and designed to to run on a standard slide battery, pod battery, or 18V Lxt Lithium battery.

It also has a separate adapter for AC operation and did I forget to mention that these bad boys are weather proof!?

MAKITA now makes an “on-site” radio so that workers can tune in to their favorite station while out in the field.

Let’s have a look at some of the main features of this vanguard product, that is new to the market.

I would like to review this product for you, as I use them on a daily basis and can hopfully help you in your decision-making process, prior to making a purchase. I’ll try to keep things concise and to the point.

This new radio from MAKITA is a 2-channel, AM-FM unit with an output of 5 watts driving the clear and punchy speakers.
It boasts a push-button digital syatem for channel switching, and a rotary volume control knob.

The casing consists of a strong molding with protectors for the end panels made from neoprene, with even more protection offered by the chrome bars which guard the control panel.

At time of writing, MAKITA have 2 models on offer. These differ mainly in color, 1 model in MAKITA trademark blue and 1 model available in white. The price of both models is similar, although it must be pointed out that the white version
has an input jack socket to connect an iPod or other mp3 device, whereas the blue model does not offer this feature.
Both models are cordless, power being supplied by either a pod battery, an 18 volt LXT Lithium (rechargeable?) battery, or a standard slide battery.

There is a mains AC adapter included and a very important feature – these new radios are completely waterproop to resist any weather conditions! You really can’t ask more from this product, I would not hesitate to recommend that you
