📻 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 Review

great little radio. very well done! One condition - shortwave stations really depend on where you live. I have 3 stations. And yes, they don't drift when locked. For all bands, follow the simple instructions in the leaflet on how to use the antenna or tune the radio to the AM band. It was a revelation. The new internal ferrite rod technology for AM allowed me to receive my nighttime voice channel clearly and without drift, which my other large radios could not. I think this station puts out 500

This radio has high sensitivity (ability to receive transmitters) and selectivity (ability to reject unwanted transmitters). I find the sound very good. Very good radio for the price. UPDATE: I recently compared this Tivdio V117 to Tecsun 310. V117 is 20.00 and Tecsun 310 is about 50.00. Tivdio goes well with Tecsun. This test was conducted by comparing the number of channels received on AM and FM. This happened between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. PST at the Colorado border. Tivdio received AM=26…

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"…

Got this radio here in North Carolina a few days before the hurricane. I used it for several hours every day (at least 4). I still haven't had to change the 2 AA batteries I had installed when I got it (more than two weeks now). The volume is excellent. You can hear it very well at low to medium volume in a 30ft room with no issues. I use an antenna that extends about 19 inches and is very stable. It contains all the transmitters that I can connect to my car radio or my home stereo system. Some

Looks like I've fallen into disrepair. After seeing all the great reviews and owning the TIVDIO V-111 and V-115 (both work great) this was a huge disappointment. Pros first: good size, good build quality, decent sensitivity, good sound. Now the big minus: tuning. In a word, it's absolutely messy. On my unit, each FM station appears four times on the watch face, making it impossible to tell which event to tune in by scrolling the watch face up and down. Worse, it's not a frequency (e.g. 92.5MHz…

I bought a Retekess PR12 because of the quality - an excellent very small walkie talkie. V117 is a whole different beast. Its working qualities make it suitable for some listeners and not for others. First a couple of good points: the sound from the speaker is excellent for a radio of this size. If you walk into a room and hear them play without seeing them first, you would assume this radio is bigger than it actually is. Headphones and headphones sound very good, with full and rich sound. You…
