RIDGID introduces the GEN5X Jobsite Radio with Bluetooth Wireless Technology. This radio comes with great features to help you rock out on the jobsite. The RIDGID Radio App is what separates this radio from the competition. The Radio App keeps and changes preset stations, controls bass and treble settings, checks RIDGID battery life, records preset voice alarms, and more. 

 

If I didn’t already own their last radio, I’d get this one.

Looks like it shared a father with the ryobi radio

Yeah.  The reviews are off though.  It shows 8 reviews, most of which are from the last radio.  They should fix that.

I really like the looks of this but I can’t understand why they don’t it a battery charger also. Doesn’t DeWALTS radio charge batteries ?

Yes. And Bosch has a charger. They miss the mark on that. They all should have chargers and the ability to plug in.
