Features of Milwaukee 49-24-0200
Rockford Fosgate Sound System with Punch EQ Rugged construction withstands 8-foot drop to concrete Digital tuning with up to 20 presets 5-1/4' weather resistant speakers with separate tweeters
Sure, we know the sound of tools is music to your ears. But you haven't heard anything half as sweet as Milwaukee's Job Site Radio. This tough little tank packs a Rockford Fosgate sound system with Punch EQ, features digital tuning with 20 presets, and wears 5-1/4-inch weather-resistant speakers with separate tweeters. We cranked it up in our warehouse amid machinery, swarming forklifts, and beehive-like activity and people stopped in their tracks and looked for the source of the music--and smiled when they saw it. Incredible sound pours out of this little beauty, and that's just the beginning of its list of merits. Milwaukee says it will withstand an 8-foot drop to concrete, and while we were unwilling to test this theory out on our radio, the sturdy construction and stout roll bars look like they could easily take it. Better still is the power source: plug it in or use a 12-, 14.4-, or 18-volt tool battery. Detractors don't like the fact that there's no built-in battery charger, but if you're running it off a battery, there's no power for a charger anyway. We say no big deal. The radio does, however, have a pass-through plug and a cell phone power port. You can even tune in to National Weather Service broadcasts to see if your construction day's going to end early. The icing on the cake--it's a looker, too. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Milwaukee 49-24-0200 Customer Review(s):
Summary: Best Job Site Radio Available!!
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Comment: This radio is great! I started reviewing all these type radio's along with messing around with a few my friends already had (the DeWalt) and finally bought the Milwaukee. It sounds so much better than Bosch's and both DeWalt's versions.
I use it on my atv - strapped securely to the rack (front or back) and it couldn't work better. Reception is CRYSTAL CLEAR, 10 progammable presets save so much time, the speakers have great clarity at ALL volumes (two 5 1/4's and two TWEATERS - 4 total speakers unlike the other two brands equipped with only two), Digital Display is very easy to read day or night (back lit Display!), BASS boost X3 and Mono/Stereo Options make it sound that much better, 7+ Channel Weatherbands work great, cigarrette lighter adapter on the back can be used for all sorts of things, and the accessory bag attached to the back of the radio works great for holding an MP3 player, along with any other valuables, using Aux. Mode. All this in a radio that is water-resistant and strong/durable enough to ride on an ATV. This radio far surpasses Dewalt's DW911 or the DC011 and Bosch's versions. Listen for yourself!!!! You WILL agree!!!!

Comment: Milwaukee 49-24-0200 Job Site Radio
Milwaukee has made a very good FM radio, however AM leaves much to be desired. I cannot tune in the stations I desire without getting encroaching stations in the background. Perhaps, I'm expecting too much, but it would be nice to listen to AM stations without the 'crosstalk'. The 12 volt feature works well for charging my cell phone, and the station preset feature is great.
