    I was very skeptical when I saw this radio on amazon and the price was reasonable. I decided to purchase this radio.
    That being said when I received the radio yesterday. I was very dissapointed and thought that I was ripped off. Because of it's size and looks like a childs toy.
    I started using this radio and trying all of its features and let me tell you. I'm very impressed and all of it's features work very welll.
    I'm not being paid to sponsor this radio but it's worth every penny. Trust me you won't be dissapointed.
    Thank You
    God Bless

    Its actually a nice little radio for camping and so.
    You should not use it on MW of HF while your charging it because the charger emits to much junk.
    Had been better if you charged it first and then showed it in the video.
    There is an upgraded version with digital display and that one performs very well on hf even though it has a short antenna.
    The Fm reception i very good and it pics up weak stations clearly.
    It has a search mode so it fills the channels with all stations it finds so you easily just can jump between all stations it finds.
    I like your videos normally bu this was not so good, ahem ;)

    No joke... I had just looked at this same radio on Amazon yesterday while trying to find a portable weather radio. I noped on it pretty quick after reading a few reviews and seeing it rebranded by multiple sellers. By the way, that's a crazy high price for what seems like a $10 toy.

    I have the digital version its the HRD-701, it gets FM and you can select the range according to the country you are in, I did see 64 MHZ as the lowest mine is just around 88-108. And short wave is from around 4.8- 21.8 MHZ. I think this thing sounds very good infact the best sound I have heard from something so small. If i crank it to full volume the Amplifier doesn't even clip, sounds even better if I put it in a bookshelf as the sound seems to have a bit more bass. A friend saw mine and got me to order another as he recons it sounds better than his sony pocket radio. Weather band is non existent in Australia.

    A single USB type C charging cable will set you back $10-20 for a good one, plus the battery is worth at least $5, so for $40 its actually not that bad considering it can do bluetooth and tf card mp3 playing. I ordered the upgraded version today, looks like an awesome little radio.

    Radio is band spreaded on shortwave, 49, 41, 31, 25, 19, and 16 metre bands. Not continuous shortwave 5.7 to 17.9 MHz. Yes, it has MP-3, probably Micro SD card, a seriously underrated recording technology.

    I’m blind and have the PL - 880 and also the R-108 which I believe is the same brand as this item; I am blind and the description of this item makes it sound extremely complicated and too difficult for me to figure out! As far as the poor reception observed in the video, is this radio being plugged into the charger while you’re attempting to use it?

    As I’m watching:
    First, BBC never stopped broadcasting. They did re-started a couple frequencies to b’cast to Russia/Ukrain.
    They still b’cast to Middle East, Far East, and Africa.
    There are new stations, and many stations are doing things a bit different.
    WRMI re-broadcasts several SW stations from around the world.
    WTWW, Lebanon Tennessee USA - 5085 kHz: OLDIES, every night. And “Instant Requests “.
    BBC CAN be heard in the US, quite well as it b’casts to other parts of the world. Same with Voice Of America.
    This seems more like a novelty, to me.
    This is the first time watching your channel.
