    A Very Simple Shortwave Radio To Use and Also Record Logged Stations
    5 out of 5 stars
    A Very Simple Shortwave Radio To Use and Also Record Logged Stations
    I had spare change to buy something for my belated birthday, so I bought this. This radio came the next day thanks to 1 day shipping, shipping was fast. I took it out of the box, and it came with a cord, and also took the D cell batteries out of an SW boombox that I hardly use. I powered it up for the first time using the cord, and set up was very easy.The AM Band (MW Band) is permanently set by default to tune from 522 kHz to 1620 kHz at 9 kHz increments. The AM reception is very clear, and I bet it will be very good too at night. To pick up distant stations you will need to use a tunable loop antenna and couple to the receiver or use a ferrite rod coupler for your active and passive antennas that is for the AM bands. Since it only tunes 9 kHz stations, you will have to enter the local / distant AM stations you want to hear and enjoy or take your time to slowly tune the tuning know at 1 kHz increments. It's a very good AM receiver to use on the bedside or anywhere day and night.The SW bands are great, and this receiver give you, the listener the ability to tune from 2.3 MHz (120 meters) to 21.195 MHz (15 meters) to hear the world such and international news, music and events, and sports. You will need to use the telescoping rod antenna for moderate the strong signals on the short wave bands, and a wire antenna indoors or outdoors for weak to moderate signals during the day and night. This radio is very easy to use, even for a beginner, and since it's digital tuning it should be much easier than using a analog dial. It does give you the ability to preset the memories as many as you need to through the ATS tuning or memory feature. I would recommend that you purchase also a reeled up wire antenna to use indoors and outdoors since there is no external antenna input jack.FM Band is great since it's able to tune from 76 MHz to 108 MHz which is likely you will hear TV NTSC channels 5 which is 81.75 MHz, and channel 6 for NTSC audio on 87.75 MHz, and also the entire FM broadcast band. If you happen to be around Japan when travelling, this radio is able to tune the local Japanese FM broadcast band from 76 MHz to 90 MHz, and the rest of the world from 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz. For best reception use the telescoping rod antenna and move away from noisy sources. Also you can still use a dipole antenna by clippng one lead to the telescoping rod antenna. It does have th ability to receive local and distant FM stations without the receiver overloading. The best time to listen to distant / remote FM stations is mostly during the late spring to early fall season.The Recording / Playback feature is a great addition which has the ability to use a up to a 32 GB micro card (not included, but required) to collect your local and distant radio programs and talk shows, and international short wave radio broadcasts and share your recordings with your friends and family. There is no settings required to change the bit rate or anything, so everything is set and ready to go already. It can playback MP3 and WAV files even from a USB WAV recorder that I used to plug in and tested the playback feature which most of the files on it were MP3 and WAV formatted.This radio is a very easy to use radio, and it will give someone started in short wave radio listening and eventually get prepared for bigger complex receivers with single side band and other modes, and eventually help prepare that short wave radio listener for to get on the air with a amateur radio license to talk and help support the world in need.

      Model: FCAF9240AVerified Purchase
      This is an excellent tabletop radio that's portable enough to carry anywhere to listen. D batteries and AC cord options make it versatile. The Micro/SD and USB slots (all 3) are very nice. Sitting near an exterior wall of my house, and near a window, it tunes in SO MUCH MORE than I can tune in any of my cars or other tuners in the house (AM and FM). Shortwave is usable with the telescopic antenna, but a long-wire out the window really makes it come alive. Of course, time of day, weather, other factors influence SW more than AM and FM. It also picks up stations that overlap, and it's possible to tune them sometimes better when coming from either side of that frequency (sweeping from R to L or L to R on the dial back and forth VERY slowly, I find I can tune some stations in better when they're close to others). For Shortwave, there is a TON of frequency space jammed into one little dial (some radios have 8-12 separate bands on a switch, but here, there're all on the same single dial) - PREPARE TO TUNE VERY S L O W L Y, or you'll miss stations. This isn't difficult though.

      Sound quality is very nice. It's won't reproduce deep bass, and it doesn't have screaming highs. It won't shake the table, or itself much for that matter, but sounds full and will play loud enough to fill a room for all in it to hear. It won't shake the walls, and is certainly no boombox.

      Pros:
      - D Batteries and AC option
      - mp3/wma compatibility, 32GB max card size for SD/MicroSD
      - Very selective and sensitive tuner
      - Controls are easy to read, use, and have a positive feel.
      - Decently long telescoping antenna, feels sturdy and heavier than some smaller radios
      - Great sound for all day listening, music, talk radio, background, but can be increased to fill a room so others can hear too.

      Cons:
      - Handle feels cheap - very thin plastic, but heavy enough to do the job. Doesn't feel like it's going to break.
      - The display only works in mp3/USB mode.
      - The light stays on all the time in mp3/USB mode. This will reduce battery life
      - The tuner has an odd gain control function where a station will be faint, but then get a lot louder all of a sudden. This really isn't a bad thing, but it takes getting used to. It doesn't tune like a completely manual tuner since it's DSP.

      I'd recommend this radio to anyone looking to get a functional, easy to use, solid radio that's easy to move around and sounds decent for low to medium listening volume either close up or from across a room.

      I am not a portable radio connoisseur but as your an average joe just looking for a decent little radio, I think I made the right choice.

      Pros:
      • Good size radio, it's got a good thick width to it so it feels sturdy.
      • The dials work as intended, the volume control is sensitive but I don't see that as a bad thing. Very light touch is all you need.
      • USB / SD / Micro SD ports are a great added function for this radio. I've put Classical Music on a small usb (so it doesn't protrude from the side too much) and it works perfectly. Just switch the dial to 'usb' turn on the radio via the Volume dial and have fun.
      • The speaker sounds great as well, good sound quality in my opinion.
      • The actual stations area is easy to read and navigate with the Tuning dial on the side.
      • AM / FM come in great. I don't even have the antenna extended and I get great reception. I haven't used SW yet but I can imagine it works as intended depending on your location.
      • The handle is great as well, easy to carry around. The radio itself isn't overly heavy, just a good weighted sturdy feel while being easily portable.

      Cons:
      • I think the only con I could see is maybe the price, though I'm not really upset having gotten this for $37 as I've seen this radio go for much more elsewhere.

      All in all: This is a good portable radio, worth the money.

      Nice, but the sound is not as good as the promotional write up made it sound. That’s why I gave it a 4/5.

      I've put this radio beside a top tier Sangean with "great reception" and a RCA Superadio III with "best reception." At my house this radio has the cleanest signal on both AM and FM. I haven't even tried shortwave, as no one is currently broadcasting on shortwave. The speaker is big and sounds great, whether listening to news and podcasts or music. I'm getting an FM station from 60 miles away that is perfectly clear. Function is easy and excellent. I can't comment on battery life as I use the AC adapter most of the time.

      I really like the look and sound of this radio. The reason I bought it was to be able to play a thumb drive of mp3 music and old radio programs downloaded from free sites on the net like Old Time Radio internet archive and play them while preparing lunch and dinner. I also liked the fact that the unit has an a/c power cord so I don't have to worry about charging or replacing batteries. I am very pleased with the sound and easy controls. However, my unit would not play my USB thumb drive. Since this ability was the prime - if not the only -- reason I purchased the unit, I planned to return it. But before returing ir (because I liked it so much), I contacted Retekess support. They immediately responded with a list of suggestions, one of which was not to use a thumb drive larger than 16 Gigs. Well....THAT was my issue since the drive I initially used was 64 Gigs. I copied mp3 files on to another smaller drive with a capacity of less than 16 Gigs and now the radio plays the USB MP3 files JUST PERFECTLY. And there are hours of play on that smaller flash stick. I recommend highly.

      Es un radio portátil muy completo, con funciones muy útiles, su tamaño es el adecuado para transportarlo por toda la casa; también me gusta la opción de conectarlo a la corriente eléctrica o utilizarlo con pilas, el sonido es aceptable y lo mejor para mi, que tiene la opción de grabar música o tus programas preferidos.
