📻 Retekess V111 Portable Digital Shortwave Radio with Stereo Voice, Battery Operation, Favorite Key, Earphone, and Digital Alarm Clock for Hiking and Walking Review

This radio is not very big. For this reason I bought the product. I needed a radio that wouldn't take up much space. I use the product without batteries. I used a USB charging cable to power the radio. The reception is quite good. I initially had a problem with static. However, I had a radio above the mini fridge. He must have gotten some kind of interference from the fridge. When I moved it to another location, I no longer had static electricity. Headphones are average. Nothing special. I use…

I seemed to have good battery life as I was using two very old double fives from a street razor and was still working in the mornings. However, the electronic controls are buggy and after trying for a while it started to turn off after 60 seconds. I unplugged the side switch, removed the batteries but couldn't fix it. Too bad because I'm just starting to really like it. It has excellent reception capability, picking up several southwestern stations during the day but oddly not at night; maybe…

When I first bought this little 1st generation radio, it had poor and noisy AM and SW reception, also FM had poor sensitivity and long waves, not too good . I have now bought this one, they have made some great improvements and the VHF band works better than the 1st gen receiver. In addition, the shortwave radio reception is more stable than the 1st generation receiver. Both the AM band and the LW band need to improve sensitivity, and a tunable loop antenna needs to be used to receive distant…

I bought this as a compact travel radio so I didn't have to take one of my large portables with me. Given the low price and small size of the radio, I didn't expect high performance from it, but I was wrong. The first surprise was that the quality of the speakers is quite satisfactory. As expected, there is no significant bass, but the sound is not tinny. HF, AM and VHF reception exceeded my expectations, aided by a fairly quick search for active frequencies. When tuned to a specific frequency,

I bought my grandfather a radio as a Black Friday gift. Since it's labeled "Amazon's Choice", I haven't spent much time comparing diff models or reviewing previous customer feedback. Delivery is fast and even earlier than expected. The operating instructions are incomprehensible for older people and are even advertised as "easy to use". I was also stuck with the assembly instructions, but eventually I wrote everything down and chose my grandfather's favorite station. It's not a big problem at…

I am very satisfied. It seems that this manufacturer has responded to several negative comments from previous buyers and has solved several issues. The instructions are supplied in a multilingual booklet (not a folded sheet of paper). The writing and drawings are small but not too bad for my weak eyesight. Yes, there are several instances of Chinglish in the guide, but they're way better than I've seen. As suggested by others, read the instructions first! The results I'm getting are better than

Nice little radio. I use it daily. It takes up very little space and can be easily moved around the house. The sound quality is pretty good considering the size of the speaker. The battery life seems to be good. I cannot rate LW reception as this band is not used here in the US. Local MW reception is very good. DX MW is marginal and could probably be much better with a larger internal antenna or AM loop. Local stations sound loud and clear. Local FM reception is very good and stereo when using…
