Full Polycarbonate Body For Incredible Strength!

 

Built for resilience. Designed for clarity. The all-new GP-1/WB (Gen 1 – 2025 Contract Surplus) is a purpose-built AM/FM & Weather Band radio engineered for reliability in the harshest conditions.

Housed in UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this radio shrugs off daily wear and long-term outdoor exposure. Inside, a custom circuit board ensures exceptional performance and clarity that far exceeds expectations for a unit this compact.

Power is simple and field-ready: the GP-1/WB runs on two standard AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), delivering 50+ hours of runtime with the backlight engaged. Ultra-compact and lightweight, it’s smaller than you think—but tougher than you’d expect.

Stay informed. Stay prepared.

Why the GP-1/WB Matters in Disasters

In today’s connected world, it’s easy to take communication for granted—until disaster strikes. When the grid goes down, cell towers fail, and the internet collapses, a reliable radio becomes your lifeline.

  • TV? Dead without power.

  • Internet? Fragile and easily disrupted.

  • Cell Networks? Overloaded or offline in regional crises.

When every second counts, information is survival. That’s where the GP-1/WB steps in.

Built for Emergencies. Designed for Reliability.

Unlike most consumer radios, the GP-1/WB was originally developed under U.S. government contract specifications. Designed in Santa Clara, California with input from a University of California engineering professor, the GP-1/WB combines:

  • AM/FM/WB coverage for essential broadcasts

  • Rugged polycarbonate housing to endure real-world abuse

  • Dependable AA battery power for universal availability

After rigorous prototyping, production was handed to a major radio manufacturer—who further enhanced its internal performance while preserving its original mission: deliver a compact, rugged, go-anywhere radio built for emergencies.

✅ CountyComm GP-1/WB – Because when it’s not if disaster strikes, but when, this is the tool you’ll want in your kit.

Sweet Little Radio

Super pleased with this honey. Simple interface. Analog dials (sorry, I'm a Boomer). Great reception. A nice compliment to my GP-5DSP radio. Thanks again, guys.

GP-1 WB Radio Is Unique In The Market Today

I have a collection of very small radios, and the number of AM & FM stations modern DSP chip enabled tiny radios can clearly receive is amazing, compared to the old "transistor radios" of similar size from decades ago. In particular, County Comm's GP-1 WB radio is unique in the "tiny radio" marketplace for its build quality with a heavy duty polycarbonate body, and the presence of an always-on red LED illuminated backlight shining across the analog tuning dial. The addition of the Weather-Band is also a rarely seen feature among these micro radios.
I have always liked the analog tuning dial rather than a digital readout... maybe it's just nostalgia. There is something about that always-on red backlight making the analog dial glow, especially in a dark room, which I find very appealing. Being able to get 50 hours of radio and continuous backlight from a pair of AA batteries is great.
I think these twenty dollar radios would make great Christmas presents as well. Many people do not have any battery operated radio in their home (as hard as that may be to believe), and this little radio is a perfect companion during a power failure after a storm, or even after a longer term power failure from A.I. getting out of control and taking down the power grid.
I know it's not the prettiest radio in the light of day (mostly because it is built like a tank), but I assure you that at night, in a dark room, with that red backlight glowing... it becomes the prettiest little radio.

A bugout bag must

Having a small, dependable radio with a weather band is an essential item for any bug out bag. This one totally fills the bill.

Gifts For The Kids

Although the kids are smart and independent they are still young and have no concept of a world before cell phones and apps. Having grown up in the dark ages I know it's important to have an actual radio just in case the cell networks are down. I got a couple for the kids who appreciated the gift and never realized they might need a small portable radio. The price is right on these.

Quality at a Fair Price

I've only used it a few times so far but it's been everything it was advertised to be. It seems like a good compact radio at a good price.
