Raddy RF320 APP Control Shortwave Radio, AIR/FM/AM/VHF/SW/WB Receiver, Portable Radio Rechargeable w/ 9.85 Ft Wire Antenna (Black)

I bought this little radio on a whim and it arrived just yesterday, so I cannot vouch for it's durability or overall quality. And I must say outright that I did not expect this device to be so incredibly small. It's like, 4" square and less than 2" deep. And in my mind that's a great thing. It means I can pack this little gadget in my backpack for a backwoods journey and pull in radio stations in the wild.Another thing I didn't expect was the shear amount of functionality built into this little thing. Not only does it sport several bands of radio frequencies that can be dialed in with a few different redundancies, but it also lets you use it as an external bluetooth speaker and apparently through the inclusion of a TF card reader as well. And the App that comes with it to remotely control the radio is a great little touch for those of us who don't wish to climb out of the hammock to switch channels while enjoying a nice Montana sunset! so was the 8 foot wire antenna that could be attached to a tree branch. Overall it's a slick design and I hope it lasts a long time.

This is actually a great little radio! I was quite surprised at the sound quality and volume this little monster can produce! Even at a high volume, it still showed I had used very little battery usage after several hours of blasting music off of a TF card. With the app, you can at least see what the track info is. The actual radio's display can't do that so is just shows the track number. You can also play music directly from your phone or any other Bluetooth device. Radio reception is actually excellent even with the short whip antenna without a swivel. There is an EQ so you can taylor the sound to your liking. It picks up AM, FM, Shortwave, VHS, UHS, and the Weather band. So it has quite a wide coverage. It does Not, however, receive sideband. This would would have made it the ideal radio for me if it did. Hopefully, Raddy will come out with a similar model that includes this feature. For me, if it covered all the bands and side bands and options that the little 760 does, (yet has the MW sensitivity this radio does!) it would be for me a real winner! In any case, this is a great little radio! It has a few gimmicks that are just plain "gimmicky" but it is also a serious performer that will really surprise you! So unless you must have sideband in the shortwave, I think you will find this little radio will truly surprise you at how well it sounds and performs. I've seen radios many times its size that did not sound as good nor receive as well.

This is a neat little radio. I purchased this primarily for its looks. For its appearance I give it a 5/5.I'm located in Ottawa, Canada and I can get AM channels from Toronto, Boston and Connecticut at times. I can receive WRMI Miami on shortwave fairly clearly (even more so that the local CHU time signal from NRC), and I heard a station from Romania at one time. There's not much in my area wrt VHF and AIR bands so I don't use those. For reception I give a 3½/5.The app works well. It's a nice add-on though I don't see myself using it often, mainly to use the record function which is only available through the app. 4/5The sound is great for a smallish radio, that additional rear speaker really gives it a good presence. It does offset the center of gravity and makes the unit a little tippy toward the rear so be careful not to put it on the edge of a table. FM sounds great! For sound 4½/5.There are two Bluetooth connections, one for the app and one for use as a Bluetooth speaker. The BT app connection works every time. The BT speaker connection sometimes fails to reconnect. (If you encounter this, power off the radio and wait for the LCD display to turn entirely off, then turn it back on and it reconnects - at least for me it does.) Bluetooth 3½/5.Adding an SD card (not included) is a great feature and I suggest getting one. It allows recording and also playback of a few digital audio formats. There's no sorting by Album or Artist or any of that. Just a track number on the LCD or a track title via the app. So I only put on maybe 5-10 files at any time. If I put an album on I'll concatenate the whole thing with mp3wrap to avoid having to cycle through multiple tracks. 4/5The controls are good. They take a little getting used to as many buttons have multiple functions in different modes of operation or whether long-pressed or short-pressed. The auto-scan feature doesn't find anything on AM for me for some reason, even on strong local stations. FFWD and RWND in the playback mode are a little slow. For controls 4/5.Battery duration: if I use it a lot I have to recharge every few days. No complaints. 4/5In brief I think this is decent unit and I have been having a lot of fun with it.My main uses are as an FM radio and bluetooth speaker and for those it does great.The other features work relatively well and add to the experience.

Fantastic radio! High quality and tons of features. I especially enjoy the retro-military design. Great customer service from Raddy, too.
