There are some cuts in this video after posting, Youtube didn't like some of the music that played over the air!

[pspadotto]

Oh man, the WinAMP memories you unlocked!

[davidsradioroom]

It is not a bad radio, but with a few firmware upgrades, it could be a great radio. The internet portion of this radio is intriguing.

[Zvideogates]

Interesting radio. It should really go from 530kHz to 30MHz though. It should really have CB and 10 Meters.

Winamp and a clone by the name of XMMS, which was built into the earliest versions of Ubuntu Linux, a long time ago. I have vivid memories of streaming electronic music while playing Counter Strike. Those were the golden years.

[KarlDahlquist]

I bought one of these a couple months ago. It is now my favorite radio.

It's funny that a lot of hams will ask "Why use internet radio if you have a phone in your pocket?" Forgetting that a lot of the danger to our hobby comes from the opinion "Why use ham radio if you have a phone in your pocket?"

Really want to get a SW only capable receiver but it looks like the best option is to spend the $$$ and do the buy once cry once route.

[Andrew-DX]

I saw that radio at the Hamvention this year. I thought about getting one but haven’t… yet.

[brentmcc]

I'll say it for you "it's junk" Thanks for the review.

[juggalizzle]

Winamp... Ahhh The good ole days. Does it have the ability to manually enter a web audio stream?

[willowen]

Happy Hardcore! lol, there is something I haven't heard in a while...

[kchaney]

Very interesting radio but perhaps not quite ready for prime time. Thanks for taking the time to review this for us.

[Getsluckyalot]

When you used the splitter for the antenna, did you plug the open port with a terminator? Im wondering if the interference was just coming in from the open port. Thank you for your testing. Love your videos. You actually insprired me to get my ham license. Finally got it last week. Thank you again! 73

What was the app you used on your phone to search stations on the radio?

[BazH]

What is the app you used on your cell phone to put against the speaker to identify signals the radio is picking up

[PewShaiDun]

Why the heck does a radio need a firmware upgrade? It searches for channels but a firmware upgrade for fm and am? I Know the old radio still work today? Is this has to do with dab+?

[audiodaze]

I've seen reports from many users that the use of the external antenna causes the overload leading to the interference of strong local stations (KFI) when you were trying to listen to WWV. Perhaps step outside with only the telescoping antenna and recheck some shortwave freqs. I'm really enjoying mine, had for 3 weeks and two firmware upgrades. Current version as of 9/19/24 is 4.6. The MW broadcast band is the weakest link in my opinion. I've found the FM performance very good. Loving the internet capability!

24 minutes to “pull off the plastic”. 😅❤

[joshuagardner]

FYI, the most recent firmware update turns this into a full coverage receiver, able to cover up to 30 Mhz in shortwave. As to picking up KFI over WWV, I dont know that your antenna setup isnt causing problems, using splitters has always done weird things for me. I would recommend picking up a simple L shaped female to male mono so you arent using a splitter.
