    Iridium, I'm a radio guy. I love my radios. But, I have some concerns about radios with non- replaceable batteries. What do we do with the radio when the battery goes bad? And what if we can't find someone to replace the battery? There's a few more questions I have, but I think you get the point. Keep up the good work! Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing. I need this. I can set this out while camping on a low volume setting as background music/noise. hopefully it can charge while playing. Just ordered from amazon and looking forward to this. Looking forward to your next video and have a great Christmas.

      It'll charge during daylight hours even a bit if it's overcast. There is a battery monitor that lights up in green when it's charging.

      I have that one too and just got this one today. Lost the user manual for the older one but this one somewhat helps. The 702 is far more intuitive to operate. Thank you for this review, you do an excellent job... New subscriber.

    I've ordered mine through Amazon for around $50 bucks, and It's awesome. I was searching for someone to make a video on this radio. Interesting fact that I didn't get it with the case it only came with the box. Another interesting thing is mine is the RADDY brand!

      Have had mine now for 2 weeks and I have the Z brand with the case and two straps, the lanyard and the thick wrist strap. Did you at least get that? If not, I would exchange it. This radio is marketed under different badges at various prices.

    it would be nice if you could put alkaline batteries in it incase the batteries fail.
    and a hand strap on the carrying case.

    • @Tsch6373
      @Tsch6373 4 месяца назад

      Was able to use the lanyard as somewhat of a handstrap since the carry case has actual hinges. The combination is a bit heavy though, wouldn't trust it... I wouldn't trust the lanyard by itself on the radio, glad to have the wrist strap.

    Some of those dont have a headphone jack , to me , thats a deal breaker . Why wouldnt any manufacturer after 1997 , make any radio without a headphone jack ? Just dumb . That one does have one .

    • @HouseholdDog
      @HouseholdDog 6 месяцев назад

      Headphone jacks go back much further than 1997.
      Transistor radios all had them in the 60s.

      @@tolik5929 For portable stuff I really can't think of one that didn't. Pretty well every one I have seen does.
      I have a fair collection of earlier radios that do too, although these would be more collectable brands.
      Also I am not sure why 1997 would be the year they all switched? It would be almost 15 years since the walkman came out in 97.

      Point is , its a HUGE sales blunder . If its an emergency radio , or even a radio . The option to be able to keep the noise to yourself is actually important . SHTF type device that lets everybody know where you are is bad . They as a manufacturer lost A LOT of money , not putting something that is standard , and common place with their competition . @@Dancingontgesun1942

    My only complaint is, why do these things so often deny us certain bands like CB or amateur bands. It's usually just a software choice.

    • @Iridium242

      Look at a Tecsun or AHDATA (D-808) radio. Continuous frequency over VFO 300Khz to 30Mhz AND SSB (LSB and USB). See my longer comment in the comment section.

  • @ferrellsl
    @ferrellsl 5 месяцев назад +1

    What type of battery does this radio use? It will ultimately go bad so it would be nice to see a tear-down to at least the battery so we know how to replace it, if it's even replaceable.

    • @Iridium242

      It certainly does! Was surprised to see that it was charging (green light indicator) while sitting in the window on an overcast day. And another time, it was charging before we had full-on sunshine. Had the radio playing at medium volume...

    • @sklise1
      @sklise1 5 месяцев назад +1

      This is a reciever only. Depending on your location, and sister, you could use a BAOFENG UV-5R and hit the repeater, but you require a ham radio license to transmit. You could only use during emergency (as in, grid down, etc).
