Review on 📻 Retekess V117 Analog AM FM Radio: Battery Operated Transistor Radio with Large Knobs, Clear Dial, and Simple Operation, Ideal for Indoor Use by Elderly and Senior by Larry Cothran

This is a damn good radio for it's shirt pocket size. The FM selectivity and sensitivity are really good, as is the overall feel and quality of the radio. Before ordering, I read dozens of reviews and almost all of them were very positive. I've only had it for a few hours and haven't tried the AM and SW bands yet. But I bought it mainly for a couple of FM stations that I like. I'm pretty much in the restricted range for most stations, but I can position the rotatable antenna to get "close" level reception. Despite the amazing sound quality for such a small radio, the only negative comment I have is that the effective volume in the upper frequencies could have been a bit higher. The sound does fill a small space, but pressing the button again doesn't result in a large perceptible change. This does not affect my overall rating which is a solid 5 even before I check reception on AM and SW. I'm an old "analog" guy and I really like this radio. Fifty years ago a radio of this quality would have cost over $30 even without today's dollars.
