In case of the end of the world / Retekess TR110

When the power is out and cell phone signal is gone a battery powered radio is your last hope of learning where to go and what to do. Retekess TR110 is a small handheld wide band radio receiver, that does FM, AM and SSB and covers both VHF/UHF, CB, AIRBAND, NOAA WEATHER as well as MEDIUM WAVE and SHORTWAVE - a shortwave receiver is a must have for your prepping emergency go bag.

I've been sent this device for free by Retekess for review. They have not seen this video before it's released and have had no involvement in the content.

I think it’s spelled “tr110“ instead of „rt110“, I can’t find anything when searching rt110


Good video anyway!

You had me at "rechargeable device with a battery that you can easily replace."

I am only four minutes in, and already this is one of the best general overview I've seen on YT for this content. So happy I found this channel!

After VHF for the local police and fire, HF-SSB is perhaps the most important feature. It allows you to get unfiltered news from radio hams and state disaster agencies.

Thanks for the review. I've been intending to pick up something like this. Since I sometimes feel like the end is nearer than a couple of months ago I'm more motivated than before. 😮

The one thing i love about radios that have SSB is that you can use SSB to listen to AM stations to help get around interference that might be overlapping onto the AM broadcast, because SSB is basically AM just with no carrier and only using one of the side bands.

I carry my rig with/2 meters of wire antenna/ spare battery. And phones all in a shoulder bag look like Indy Jones yet I can be up and running in a minute...PS I have a stand alone vbfo at the ready. It's the life. 😊😊😊

[monimonev]

Thanks for the great video. This is an excellent radio with very good selectivity.

[samuelmcelrea]

You should do a video on the DSP2 Malahit SDR!! As always, you did a stellar job with this video! Keep on doing what you're doing, Love from Alaska!

[Superminaren]

Thanks for a good video!


However I think the lack of AA support is the real dealbreaker. In a wartime situation you'd have a hard time to find spare Nokia batteries in comparison with AA or C.
Also the self discharge of NiMH AA's is years, in comparison with that of Lithium batteries.

Actually what is amazing about this model is UHF reception, not many on the market offer that (along with the other bands).

[danielmilewski]

Really awesome video! Very intresting channel. Please make more videos!

[vilunny]

My only complaint about your channel is it's costing me money😂😂😂

[vanhetgoor]

I have heard about a restaurant at the end of the universe.

[panplayer]

What device are you using at 4:15? The one with the waterfall?

[kbdoa]

Which SDR program are you using at 2:35 ?

[drright]

The little brother is dirt cheap, if you don't care about SSB or a replaceable battery. Also, other countries... NOAA Weather Radio is a really good idea. Adopt it.

[Macgyver]

If it's the end of the world communication will be the least of our concerns. You probably mean civilized society.

[maverick]

Can you reccomend a radio that can do transmit and receive in the 300-350MHz band?
God video!

[bashkillszombies]

For $120 I'll get a real shortwave thanks.
