The Best Radio I've Ever Reviewed Got Even Better. The Choyong LC90 Gets Better Every Day

The first video I put out on this radio a few months back got some backlash. Mostly centered around the radios lack of general 1-30mhz coverage and a lack of SSB mode.
While I felt that these are nice features, I was still please with my radio. Well, a few months have past and wow, the engineers over at Choyong stayed busy. First they added general coverage from .1 to 30mhz, then they added SSB modes to hear all the Ham coverstations. Then they updated the internet radio side of things, then they added voice search, now they have removed an issue with some of their radios that apparently caused harmonics on certain freqs. While I never had an issue with it, apparently they wanted it fixed, so they fixed it!
They also made a lot of minor updates to try and improve the AM reception, witch I find to be it's only real weakness. While still not a performer on that band, it sure is a changed radio.
I loved it when it first came out, and with these updates, I love it enough to have gone out and bought a second one with my own money. The truth is, there is no other radio out there like it at any price. The internet radio side is a constant gift of new and random stations that no regular radio could ever hope to receive.
I love it. If you are interested in getting one, here is the link:

I ordered this radio after your “best radio” review. I had to wait several months. I am an RF engineer and have been a ham radio guy for 60 years. I love this radio. I agree with everything you said, especially on this second review. Mine had no birdies that I could detect. Probably was fixed in the firmware. The Blue tooth works exceptionally well. I use it with KIWI SDR from my phone. Wow!! Thank you for both of your videos. You are the reason I bought this radio. No regrets!

Please don't confuse criticism with hate. It’s great news that the manufacturer listened to the viewers and made changes. Actions like making improvements based on customer feedback will make companies stand out and become more successful. Great review and well done, Choyoung.

I appreciate this fair, balanced and honest review. I’ve been following Choyong on Facebook and it’s clear they’re invested in their product by taking feedback and updating the product software. 👍 review. Choyong now sells an LC90 mini for $50 less and a smaller am/fm/internet model the A8W for $99.

You just don't know how many cool devices you've turned me on to. Please keep doing these reviews.

They did update the firmware so that says a lot about the company, thanks for making a follow up video

Mine just been delivered and it’s already hooked up to the net. The internet side is unbelievably packed with exactly what you said ie: thousands and thousands of stations

[mark_osborne]

Fantastic !
Esp the fact you can install a sim card and connect it to a cell tower - just amazing

I had that same Radio Shack mixer back in the 1980's. Mixed many a tape with it. That was when RS was at it's prime with us hobbyists. Really miss those days.

Congratulations, I've already had the radio for a month and I'm really enjoying it, because I enjoy listening to FM where ATS has programmed 42 stations in my region and I enjoy listening to internet stations, where here in Brazil alone more than 300 online radio stations have opened. I highlight the audio quality, the sound on FM and the Internet is wonderful, it's a pleasure to listen to. My interest is FM and online radio, where the LC 90 is excellent, innovative.

I just got the LC90 and I love it. It definitely is one of the greatest radios made. It keeps the traditional radio feel, with a modern touch. There is absolutely nothing you cant listen to on this radio and it sounds great. Thank you for introducing me to this radio.

A “birdie” is an internally generated frequency within the circuitry that will present itself as you manualy tune or use the search function, by showing up as a strong yet quiet signal at various places along the frequency range, with no data on that frequency. Some radio’s and particularly scanners can have many, a few or none. Try a YouTube search on what is a radio birdie.

[jesseayala]

Thank you for the review! I’m seriously considering buying one myself.

[Tykoon]

Congrats on getting us the SSB. Please push for the Air Band. Let’s make this The Perfect Radio.

🇺🇲 Connecticut here. Still undecided on my final choice so i appreciate your opinions on this radio

[AmazingPhilippines]

Watching from the PHILIPPINES where my choices are quite different. Thanks.

From your 2 reviews of this radio. I ordered one today. I can't wait until Wed. when it arrives.

That is a Very nice radio! I was strongly thinking about one yesterday. My Tecsun 990 and my Sangean WR series radios are Bluetooth capable. I just discovered Radio Garden, and I am testing that out on my radios to see how well it works over the next few weeks. The Radio Garden interface is extremely user friendly, and I love being able to listen to international radio in my car.
Having said all that, I think the radio you are demonstrating is really a great product, and has been interesting seeing so many people test it out.
Thanks for posting such great content, cheers!

Thanks for your honest reviews
If you say an item is below standard (junk ) it mostly likely is, if your review is positive the item is more than likely good. Today's radio you showed looks great! Thanks!

[Archtops]

Thank you for the update! I just placed my order based on your review. 73

We're heading toward another firmware update in coming weeks, which will be aimed at addressing some of the shortcomings with the Internet section. As for SSB, it remains less than satisfactory because the radio was not built for that feature from the ground up and is firmware implemented.
