Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

The seller carefully put the instruction in 2022 in the box. Nicely! The price, by the way, is lower than in other marketplaces, even despite paid delivery.

Pros
  • Excellent pocket radio (really pocket radio, unlike the older brothers of the 600 series and above). SSB! Listening to railway communication, truckers, "hooligans" and stations in HF \ MW is ideal. The sensitivity in these ranges is not inferior to the superheterodyne 680 - the "digit" (DSP) here pleased. It has an extended "2022" VHF band (64-108 MHz), while the 680 model is somehow deprived of this, there it is only "Asian" and "European". In a couple of photos, it is next to the "big brother" 680, the difference in size, I think, is visible) Fits perfectly into a jacket pocket, can be charged from any power bank with 5V (and the battery there is a clone of the "Nokiev" BL-5C, which (different quality) on any marketplaces and radio markets completely). Those. It is for pocket, urban use - super. By the way, the Texan's bundled wired headphones are quite good in quality - I compared (at FM reception) with their similar sehnheisers, complete from a Samsung smartphone, etc. Well, not the top class for sure, but in general buzzing. The only thing missing is the air range, like the older ones, but that would already be a dream)) Retekess came out with a similar compact model, but I don’t have it yet.
Cons
  • The encoder is somewhat fuzzy, it reacts strongly to accidental touches, you need to lock the receiver if it is in your pocket, bag or backpack. Sensitivity in VHF is not ideal, but in general this range is not particularly interesting to me. No stand. The Chinese are such Chinese, they could do it. There is no backlighting of the buttons, but this is the trouble of all Texans (or almost all)

Pros below: Excellent radio. I recommend. With its cons. There is no button illumination, but this is not critical

In addition to the radio, a case for it, headphones and a charging cable (without a power supply unit) are included in the kit. On a single charge, it works for about 3 days.
