Makita LXRM03 Radio

Hi, I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com and I've got a really neat tool that I need to show you

It's one that's absolutely necessary around every job site as far as I'm concerned

And this tool, it's going to put you in a good mood. That's why it's important. Let's take a look

This is the Makita LXR-MO3 Job Site Radio and it is a beauty

Look at this. Really handsome, very rugged, great sound, and it's a multi-powered audio device is all I can tell you

This particular device, it of course, not only is it an AM and FM radio, but if you have an iPhone, an iPod, any other MP3 player

it will take that input and you can play the tunes from those devices

It of course has five preset buttons down here to preset radio stations that you like either AM or FM It got an alarm clock It got timers

So if you've got to be somewhere at the job site, make maybe another appointment

you can set a timer to remind you, and it'll count down, and the buzzer will go off

Very, very nice feature. If you do have an MP3 player, this is where the audio input goes

It runs right now off an 18-volt lithium-ion battery, but if you want to power it with 110 volts, the little transformer cord plugs in there

And of course, this little lid at the top, you just flip it open

and there's the docking station for the iPhone or the iPod. Very, very nice

And of course, in the back here, very simple. It's very easy to get access

There's the 18-volt lithium-ion battery that's powering it right now. It can go for many, many hours with that

It will also take the older you can hardly see it but if you have the older style Makita batteries they fit in there as well And there is a full battery compartment here so not full batteries I can just pull up your preset radio information

Very, very nice. Very, very nice. So, I say we take it for a test drive, and let's see how the thing sounds

What do you say? So what do you think

That was some pretty good sound. And you know who should know about radios? Me

Why? I'm a ham radio operator. And I have to tell you, this is a pretty nice radio

You know, I can't talk around the world with it, but that's okay. It's a great receiver

So if you want to know more about this Makita radio, just go look at it
