Review on πŸ“» Tecsun R9700DX: Advanced 12-Band Dual Conversion AM/FM Shortwave Radio for Exceptional Listening Experience by Daniel King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This could easily be your everyday radio.

Tired of the digital world, back to the familiar analog tuner. The R9700DX does not disappoint and has become one of my favorite analogue radios. My video review of this radio is on YouTube. Features I like about this radio: * The speaker sound is really good. * FM reception is stable. * AM reception is excellent. * SW reception is decent. * External VHF/SW antenna socket. * FM Stereo! * Large display for customization. * Illuminated dial, looks very good in the dark. * Simple design and layout. * Good build quality. * Comes with an AC adapter for charging NiMH batteries. .* Tuning wheel is smooth and comfortable to use.* Vertical stand. Features that could be added or improved: * How about an analog clock for analog radio? That would be great!* Better tone controls, maybe a separate wheel. The switch doesn't seem to make much of a difference. * Volume controls in the form of a wheel, not a slider. Looks a bit dated*. The strap connecting both sides of the radio is more durable to carry around. It's quite a heavy radio and the included strap doesn't feel that strong. All in all, if you need a slightly larger portable shortwave radio, this radio is in a class of its own. So he gets a solid buy from me. The reception from this receiver is amazing and the quality of the speakers will surprise you. This could easily be your everyday radio.
