A transistor radio typically requires batteries or an external power source to operate, as it relies on electrical energy to function. However, if the radio is designed with a hand-crank generator or solar panel, it may be possible to use it without traditional batteries. In general, without an appropriate power source, a standard transistor radio cannot be used.

Yes; pilots have to be able to use the radio without the engine running and most engines have electric starters so batteries are essential.


How would you use batteries in a radio?

Usually, radios have a slot at the back or bottom where you can insert batteries (Often AA). If it does not have a slot, and isn't solar powered or anything, then contact the radio manufacturer, who will tell you how to use batteries. If the radio has to be plugged into a socket outlet and has no slots for any batteries, then the only way you can use batteries to supply it with power is to use an electronic power inverter unit. Several types are available. The most common can use a 12 volt battery and has a socket outlet into which you can plug the radio.

How does a portable radio work?

Radio communication works by converting sound waves into electromagnetic waves. These electromagnetic waves are then encoded in the radio frequency range of the FM or AM station your are listening to.
