Review on πŸ“» Portable Handheld Radio Recorder Si4732: Full Band FM AM (MW&SW) and SSB (LSB&USB) Receiver, Built-in Battery, Speaker, Antenna, and Aluminum Alloy Case by Matt Minette

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Funny little VHF and shortwave receiver.

The receiver works with the supplied antenna, but you definitely need an external antenna for better reception. It is very small and portable. The rotary knob encoder feels a bit flimsy and wobbles slightly from side to side when even a little force is applied when turning it. To charge the internal lithium-ion battery, you must purchase a USB wall charger and a mini-USB cable. The battery will power the receiver for quite a long time when fully charged. The small internal speaker actually delivers a pretty good sound for its size. There is a support group on Facebook and software updates are available to add and improve radio features. I would recommend this receiver to anyone who enjoys tinkering with radio and electronics. It certainly fits my hobby and seems good value for money.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Was damaged
