I have had one for quite a while, and it is quite versatile with the many bands covered. I do find some overload adjacent to a strong fairly nearby FM radio 📻 station.

I see this being included in a survivalist go bag along with one of those solar phone chargers. In such a situation there would be errr... much less QRM and perhaps no nearby broadcast stations to overload it. Those saying there are better options please include an external antenna connection, SSB mode and VHF, UHF, Airband in your alternative examples. Its market is that does everything in one compact device. Question, can it receive SSB on the VHF amateur bands?

Well, it is amazing to find all this in such a small radio. The size of the radio obviously makes the number of knobs and switches has to be limited. As far as I can tell by watching your video, the radio does a great job as it pulls in amateur stations with ease, of course mainly due to your outside antennas. It surely takes some getting used to how operate the radio in order to get the most out of it. But isn’t this what it’s all about? I’m sure hobbyists will like to find out all about it, I’d like that no doubt and spend time with it. This is not a radio for the average listener, it is for the traveller and enthusiasts who want to see what still is on the airwaves and don’t want to pay too much. In the EU Aliexpress asks around €80,- for it. Which would be reasonable yet the maximum what I would want to pay for it. Willem, Hekelingen, Holland.

I have a Sangean DT200-X radios that I use almost daily. If this Retekess had an AUX or SD/SDmicro input I would buy one. I contacted Sangean and suggested they add an AUX port. That way I could also listen to the numerous podcasts that I listen to daily and put on a Sansa Clip. I like the convenience of either speaker or earbuds instead of earbuds only.

I had the HanRongDa HRD-747 version and unfortunately my experience with it was a complete failure. I had 2 weeks of use with initially good results, at first then suddenly it went completely def. My guess is, there's a glitch in the ATT signal strength adjustment menu and now it just blocks all signals. I don't know if this problem is common or not , but I was very disappointed with the radio. I did get a refund.

Pl330 often gets pushed but it has issues too imo, I have one. Using the same antenna into a malahite and then a Pl330, the Pl330 often is weaker, more noise and generally poor. Good for a beginner but I soon outgrew it. I do love its scan features though. Also it doesn't cover airband and cb and marine etc. Just shortwave, mw, standard fm

Thanks for this superficial first review. Since it is a tiny mux, it will not sound great if not using heasphones and the question ism does it have a lot of birdies and what about intermod when on a wideband antenna ... how soft is the squelch gate and why did you not use it on the air band? How is the difference on the air band when listening to a weak (far away) ATIS with different bandwidth settings and how does it compare to other receivers. The beauty is that it is even smaller than the XHData D-808, so it is ideal on the go and you can listen to UHF as well. An A/B comparison with the XHData-D808 on an antenna splitter would be nice ... they cost almost the same but this one goes up to 520MHz and is even smaller. It seems the PLL locks very slow, which can be annoying when tuning into sideband signals, but since you didn't even try to get them tuned on the beat, it doesn't seem to matter anyway. I wonder if some people think that sideband has to sound off the frequency and distorted like hell ... they secretly like Mickey Mouse voices? ... it really doesn't have to be like that. When you set the AGC to slow and keep the RF gain low, people can sound spot on, just like AM BC or FM BC ... very clear and dynamic. Since we live in the GPS age, we can calibrate our transmitters to be spot on without tuning 100Hz up or down for hams who don't know and don't care. Do any of these radios / or this specific one support synchronous AM? Do they/this offer a USB sound card feature when connected, or is the USB power (charging) only? If it had an USB I/Q interface, running an external SDR program would open the world to various digital modes. But I guess that is wishful thinking?

I got one of these just because of this video, i have wanted something this size with these features and its a good radio but with terrible software and shielding. I find on ssb that everything is 10hz low but the 1hz adjustment is actually 15hz so thats why people are having issues getting the tuning just right. The wheel only adjusts the frequency on 1hz sometimes 10 just doesn't work The controls are pretty confusing too, i wish the mode button changed the modulation and not the tune destroying freq bump. Im going to try put copper tape on the inside of the case to shield things as it works so well in the middle of nowhere
