Well if there's an outlet for power it has something mine doesn't have. I have
a port on the back to run an MP3 player or a CD player but I haven't found a
plug outlet. Wasn't advertised with mine either so I'll guess I don't have
one.

They do say it will run off of the 12, 14, 24 and 36 volt battery and like
you I assume it charges when plugged in. There is also a plug through, which I
understand to mean an outlet on the radio from which you can run tools.
Some of these tuners work all right but others, I have a sony here which
really sucks! and my Yamaha tuner too.
thanks.

I got the Dewalt for my birthday last week. I don't know about that radio but
mine has a battery charger in it. So I would imagine that one would charge as
well. The cool thing is mine has a cord but it will also run off the 18 volt
battery it charges if there is no power.
As far as blind friendly tuning, it has a button to go up and of course one
to go down. Push either and it stops at the next station with a good signal.
You can set a station to one of the buttons so you have 4 presets for FM and 4
for AM. But there is nothing special about tuning that would stand out if you
can't see the numbers. I had my son show me how to work the buttons and he set
the clock I can't read. But the sound is great and it's sturdy.
I'm sure that is roughly the same as neither of them make their own radios.

Someone mentioned having a job site radio for Christmas. Bostools have the
Milwaukee - V28™ Job Site Radio on sale this week-end for a hundred and 12
bucks Canadian. The description however doesn't say what I would like it to
tell me, like, the digital tuning, is this blind friendly?
Sounds like a decent and rugged radio and I like to bring one outside with me
when I work. Of course I don't have any other Milwaukee tools so would have to
buy a battery, don't know if it charges when plugged in, might have to buy a
charger too.
Anyone know about this radio?
thanks.
