RF75A

Although I own a couple of other digital radios, its more of a hobby thing than collecting, and I wasn't looking for another radio when I first ran across this thing. But its cuteness and features kind of sucked me in because the price is pretty low under 50 USDs. I was afraid it might be just a toy but in testing it out I found this tiny thing means business! I can listen to 2 meter Ham radio just great without pulling out the antenna, weather comes in more clear than most weather radios. Only the AM broadcast band is a little weak in getting really far stations and the antenna does not seem to help. This little thing will accept a micro SD card big enough to hold my entire collection of MP3s easily, and some headphones sound great with it. That feature alone blows away the the old music player I used to carry which was just as big but only held 8G max. And this is only one feature... The names of tracks being played is only available on the phone app Run time is about 6 to 12 hours depending on volume level. It has a number of pro's going for it: - It can be a BT speaker that sounds way better than most phones or even laptops. - It can be a u-SD card player up to 256G (plays in stereo to headphones) - It can be a USB speaker for a PC (I think) - Receives AM, FM, SW, VHF, and weather bands - Doing a scan on any band will automatically store all found stations in preset memory locations for you, this seems to work well for most of the bands - I think you can record audio from the radio onto your phone but have not tried this yet - You can set timed power on or power off, and alarms - Has emergency flashlight and/or siren - It has a written Guide that comes with it and a separate guide for the phone app - nice touch! - It has a clock display - Its little - like only half a shirt pocket - Has 1AH lithium battery and modern USB-C charge port conveniently located on top where any USBC connector will work. - Has a lock key which at first seems WTF, but after having it turn On in my pocket, it is a nice touch to be able to lock out the power button! But see Cons. - Being so small, the accompanying phone app lets you access the features a little easier and use some you might never have known were even there for example it has an equalizer with built-in presets for the audio output - The speaker is surprisingly powerful for the size of the unit. Having said that, I don't mean to say it sounds like a JBL or something, yet it sounds so much better than it looks like it should, that it just seems acceptable. - Comes with a nice little kit of goodies like charge cable, Ext antenna cable, etc. CONS: - FM is Not Stereo to headphones - The portion of the VHF FM band that corresponds to Air cannot demodulate the AM air band properly - AM broadcast band is a little weak compared to bigger radios with bigger ferrite loops in them - No file navigation tools to deal with the possibly huge TF cards of up to a quarter terabyte - The lockout button does not lock out the flashlight/siren button (so it can go off in your pocket). looks like a bug to me. - Oh yeah, in the display the word "Level" is spelled "Lever". That's a real dumb one. Okay it may have a bug or two, but is a lot of fun for the price! I would buy another one if they fix the bugs...

There is a lot to like about this radio: • It has surprising good sensitivity. If it has a weakness, it is MW, which is to be expected for a small radio. Other bands are highly competitive (as good or better) when compared to other pocket radios that cost considerably more (I have Sangean, C Crane, and Eton pocket radios). Additionally, the RF75A has broad band coverage. • Full rich sound from the speaker with more than adequate volume. It's hard to believe the quality of sound that comes out of this small device. • Solid build quality. • LOADED with features with nice touches, like the backlight that changes colors for the different bands. • High quality accessories. • Uses a USB C port. Too many radios are still using mini/micro ports. • Good user manual. Thinks I don’t like: • The antenna is very thin. My first thought was: “this is definitely going to break”. After using it, I found that it is very flexible and I suspect it will be fine, but it is something to be careful with none the less. • Given its size, it makes sense that it uses an internal battery, but it’s nice being able to swap out batteries in a pocket radio. It’s a tradeoff for sure and the battery life is certainly good enough for a day of usage, but if this will be your only pocket radio, it’s something to consider. I purchased this out of curiosity and didn’t expect to be so impressed with it. This is a very serious and fun little radio that is an easy 5 star product.

This radio is very small. It is shirt pocket size, as opposed to pants pocket size. It has several bands, including AM, FM, Weather Band, VHF, and SW. Reception is good, except for VHF. SW varies according to time of day, position, orientation, and tuning skill, but you can get stations clearly and loud. Nice sound when you are tuned in. It has digital dialing, with an illuminated display, and station presets. It is rechargeable using a usb-C plug on top. The charge lasts several hours (maybe 6 or more), but not all night. It can play while charging, but it's not as clear. There's a button for an emergency alarm and flasher. There's a tf card slot, and it can use a bluetooth speaker and communicate with a pc, as well, although I haven't used these features, yet. The controls are small and complicated. Definitely take your time reading the instructions.

I like this radio. It will take a while for most buyers to learn how it works. I don't know if the manual is helpful. I almost never look at them for devices like this because so many user manuals are often worthless, these days. If you don't refer to it, just spend a little time and it you will learn it. Watch out for the LOUD panic button, though. IF, the designers are interested, I would like the buttons to be backlit, so I could operate it properly in the dark. You can recharge the internal battery with USB-C cable. But, I would like to retain the charging capability but with replaceable batteries. The WX feature works very well and better than some that I've had. Works inside the home, where some radios have not done well. I get a lot of FM stations without extending the antenna which is kind of unusual for my area. The antenna seems flimsy, but I am getting used to it because the radio seems worthy in all other aspects.

This radio is awesome. I appreciate the wide range of frequencies it can pick up and using the clip on antenna really pulls in some shortwave signals. I can hear many 2m repeaters in my area and a local 6m net pretty well. The speaker is loud and enjoyable to listen too. The app is a great companion and lets you save channels easier than using the buttons on the radio.

Seriöses kleines Gerät, hält was es verspricht. Man kann es als UKW Radio, Musikplayer und als Wecker verwenden. Die Empfindlichkeit ist relativ hoch, es geht teilweise sogar ohne Antenne. Mit der mitgelieferten Wurfantenne können einige Kurzwellensender empfangen werden. Es kann sogar SOS Signale absetzen und mit einem PC kann der Radioempfang digitalisiert werden, wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe. Die Klangqualität ist für die winzige Größe ausgesprochen gut, ebenso der Lautstärke Bereich. Bedienung ist relativ einfach. VHF Radio auf Breitband 50khz umstellen, auch hier kommen einige deutsche Sender rein. Mittelwelle habe ich leider nichts empfangen. Nachtrag: Der Winzling kann Radio auf SD-Karte aufzeichnen in mp3 Mono 160kbit/s!

Smaller than expected which is perfect for me. Frequency coverage incredible for such a small product. Speaker output amazing. Had an issue with shipping but seller gladly and quickly resolved it after contact with them. Great service.

Fantástico, rádio pequeno com som de grande

Es pequeña, más de lo que creía, pero el sonido es mejor que el de otra radio que tengo de mayor tamaño. Las emisoras se sincronizan automáticamente y son fáciles de seleccionar, con un botón de bloqueo para evitar cambiar la emisora o modificar el volumen sin querer. Como pega (para mí), no usa pilas si no una batería recargable con una toma de tipo "C", eso sí, dura bastante. Hay que acordarse de cargarla de vez en cuando. El precio también echa un poco para atrás. Tiene una luz led bastante potente (te ahorras una linterna en caso de apagón) y una sirena a la que, sinceramente, no le veo utilidad. Cabe en cualquier sitio y puedes llevarla en cualquier ocasión, ya sea en la práctica de deporte, excursión o vacaciones sin que suponga una molestia. Lleva toma de auriculares para poder escucharla sin molestar a nadie. La aplicación para el móvil es curiosa, te permite "trastear" con la radio sin tenerla a mano.
