[dont]

I'm very happy with this radio. Small size, big sound. Excellent reception, even on SW bands.

[Devo]

I like the retro-futuristic look, and tons of features, seems like a fun radio

[MrSparks]

Cool radio, very versatile especially with the app. Thanks Todd!

[donsatman]

Thanks for this informative review. Nice to see how it performs before you buy one. I agree with another comment here that this radio really needs to have SSB. It is IMHO a more desired feature than some of the wizardry they have going on here. Maybe in a future version they will decide to add it & make it the complete package

[Canarywharfdebz]

I have ordered the Retekess TR112 and will arrive today. Disappointed to hear it has no SSB. However, if I want to listen to number stations and radio amateurs I will listen on other my other receivers. So far I am impressed and it has not arrived yet! 😊

[digitalpanther]

this looks like a Raddy rf320 on in dark green. Is it essentially the same or are there any features that set it apart from its Raddy cousin?

[mickeybrumfield]

Looks like a state of the art radio. It would be difficult to pack much more functionality in a radio. Maybe if they could put a camera on it somewhere it would have it all. 😊

[frankgutjahr]

I just got one! Looking forward to playing with it.

[NTPTM]

Hej Todderbert thanks for the review the Retekess TR-112 looks very cool I like the green color take care and have a nice day.

I just purchased this radio based on yours and others reviews but it arrived DOA. I returned it and Im afraid Im not willing to risk another purchase on a no-name, made in china brand radio. I'll stick with Tecsun, Eton or one of the other reputable brands. I understand this can happen to any company but I dont trust these chinese made things that you see a bunch of on Amazon that look identical other than maybe color and a different weird name that I've never heard of. If you got one that works and you like it, that's great. Didn't happen for me. Its hard to fins a good shortwave radio that also does NOAA weather bands. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the great reviews. I'll check out some more to help me decide on what I will purchase.

[Eliezer-]

Wish I can afford this radio. Times are tough for me. But this is definitely on my wish list.

[RJDA.Dakota]

On smaller radio with flimsy antennae, I always try to raise and lower the antenna one element at a time and always from the bottom. I have seen people push down, breaking the antenna off from the top. This radio does look interesting, and seems to have a lot of features. And of course, you’ve actually got access to a battery pack that you could never have replaced because it is so peculiar.

[bulldogbrower]

Was really hoping to hear the radios airband performance. Try these O’Hare tower frequencies, if you please 120.75 121.15 126.9 128.15 132.7 or 133.0. The ATIS frequency is 135.4 you should be able to hear continuous recorded information here.

[richardfranciscone]

Can the AUX jack be used as a line in to record from other sources?

[ronaldzuccala-pvtu]

Hello really enjoyed the radio. Please keep in mind that all the other radios that are similar are just rebranded raddy radios as they brought the fr 320 first so they are all Raddy radios just redone. As you suggest thei😢😢.r is much to do with this unit. Thanks for a great review. RON Z. WA3090SWL.

[Coffeebreak]

Looks like one of those toys to keep a 2yr old busy for hours.

[bruce]

Except for the battery, is there any other difference? I have the first generation already.

[mattklapman]

IMO, having a phone app is antithetical to having a receiver. For cool tech, please review the Sansui F50 video radio!
