Raddy RF320 App Control Shortwave Radio, All-Band Receiver, Black | AIR/FM/AM/VHF/SW/WB coverage, 9.85 ft wire antenna included, rechargeable battery

The controls can be a little confusing. The hardest part was to set the clock and backlighting function to always on. Has a decent size screen though. I just wish they would make a decent size table radio like this with all these functions. This radio does sound okay but with a bigger speaker would likely sound even better. Lots of bands and choices. I just wish the keys to operate it were bigger, and easier to read. Most keys are multi-function so there are two things printed on each key. I was pleasantly surprised with SW reception in my area. Am and FM stations in my area are few and far between. I can't receive any WB broadcasts but there is a line-of-sight issue where I live. I'm in a valley between two mountains. No hits there...I may set up an external antenna over my roof in the near future. I'm not done trying yet. And BTW, this antenna is the skinniest antenna I have ever seen. The smallest section is like a thin piece of wire, and I do mean thin. I would change that if I could. Extensive use has already made it loosen a little. Good thing, because one good push down and you're going to have a bent antenna. I haven't used the recording function and I likely won't, but it is nice to have. The cell phone app needs device location permission upon install. I don't know why that is... Seems unnecessary. I have other radios that don't need it, so...I don't know if they sell that info...would be nice to know. But the buttons are bigger on my android phone. So, we have that. The USB also functions as data transfer for the TF card. It also serves as a charger, and PC audio. Thats a new one on me. The screen shows antenna signal strength. I like that! Bluetooth works but didn't keep signal on several occasions for me. This was in close proximity to each other. I don't use BT too often. Other reviewers say theirs worked fine. So... Overall, this is a decent radio. The RGB lighting is subtle and low key. Thats nice too. The volume goes loud. The rear base speaker works okay. Bigger sound from a small radio. I imagine that battery life drains faster at a high level. Good to use as an outside radio. Talk radio and music play well here. Good Job Raddy....two thumbs up here!

Very useful, fun, rad radio! Sounds amazing for its size. Holds charge for a long time. Great for playing BT or sd card music playlists. The headphone and line out jack is in stereo. If you live near an airport or commercial flightpath, it's really fun to tune the AIR freqs to listen to pilots. If you are a frequent airline customer, you could use this radio to listen to your pilots and tower radio chatter to know more about what's going on with your flight. Overall, it's feature packed and excellent price for what you get.

picked up the Raddy RF320 expecting a fun little gadget and this thing took me on a full ride from excitement to doubt and right back to excitement again. When it arrived I loved the presentation. The box looked great and the accessories were a nice touch. The radio itself looks fantastic with a retro tactical style that really stands out. My only letdown at first was the feel of the plastic and the tiny antenna. It gave me a toy like first impression and I was not sure what to expect. That changed as soon as I powered it on. The LED equalizer swept across the top of the screen and instantly brought back memories of playing with my grandfathers radios. Then the speaker surprised me with sound that is crisp, clear, and way louder than something this small should produce. It has a warm tone that is easy to listen to. Tuning it brought some nostalgia too, but the knobs are very sensitive. If this was hanging from a sling or bouncing around outdoors you could easily skip past stations. I would not take this on a rough hike or expect it to survive a bad drop. It is definitely more of a home or desk radio. The part that truly impressed me was the reception. On every band I pulled in more stations than any of my other small radios. Shortwave performance especially caught me off guard. Air band worked right away and FM sounded great. The included app is a huge bonus and makes tuning and exploring very smooth. Here is the simple truth. I did not want to like this radio at first. But after actually using it, it won me over. It has charm. It has personality. It has features that are fun to explore. No it is not rugged and no it is not built for the mountains, but as a desk radio or nightstand radio it is excellent. Even with the shortcomings I would still recommend it. The flaws feel like areas for improvement rather than deal breakers. If Raddy ever releases a more rugged upgraded version, I will be first in line to buy it.

Rather complicated. Has to Bluetooth to your phone. I would of rather a dial to turn to the proper frequency. Not thrilled with it at all. Do not recommend.

This is an amazing piece of equipment! Great reception and east to use, even inside my home receiving short wave. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun using a portable radio. And I can’t get over how great the reception is on this little radio. And the sound also is exceptional, even considering the size of the radio. The build of the radio is something that is great considering the price range and the size.

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.

Very nice radio it is simple but fun to play around and take on trips

UPD!!! After a week of very delicate usage, the two volume buttons got completely broken. The buttons fall inwards. When I slightly press, they don't work at all, when I press harder, they act like the left "neighboring" buttons (i.e. Vol+ works as BT button, Vol- works as Memo button). This means that I can adjust the volume and set up the alarm only via the app, but the backlight isn't adjustable at all. I guess that the whole right side of the chip panel is broken off within the device because it wasn't fixed firmly! Unfortunately, I have to return the device to replace it (I love this radio and want to give it a second chance). ------- It's a great device! Delivery to Germany was delayed about a week due to "rules for handling lithium batteries," but the parcel arrived quickly and undamaged. I've been using the radio for about a week and my impressions are very positive. The device is a bit smaller than it appeared in photos and videos, which is actually a plus. The plastic quality is much better than it looked online — it feels nice in the hand and like a real piece of electronics, not a toy. One minor concern: the rotary knob looks slightly crooked. I’m not sure if it’s a defect and I’m reluctant to disassemble the unit, but the knob works perfectly otherwise. I like the accessories, especially the wired antenna, which significantly improves shortwave reception. The instructions can be confusing at times — they appear to be translated from Chinese — but I managed to figure out the button functions and the app fairly quickly; a few details still need clarification. I live in Tbilisi (South Caucasus) and have caught shortwave and medium-wave stations from Ukraine, China, Iran, Romania, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the Vatican. I even once picked up a weather forecast on the airwaves, which rarely broadcasts here, but at least that showed the function works. The only band that’s completely silent locally is WB — those waves aren’t used in our part of the world. There are a few minor flaws: you can’t save marquee mode settings — the radio always reverts to S1 when powered on — and the app doesn’t let you set how many minutes the radio-alarm runs (that can only be done with the buttons). I also experienced one serious issue when connecting in PC mode to transfer recorded files from the microSD: it worked once, but the next time the connection dropped and the radio froze with no button response. I feared firmware corruption, but I was able to power it off and on again; it recovered, so it may have been an OS issue on my computer. Overall, I’m very satisfied. The radio has many small, thoughtful details that show it was designed with care and attention.

Bateria fraca, substituir por uma com 3400 mAh. Chatinho pra programar.

Super bien, altamente valorado y muy bonito y funcional, lo recomiendo ampliamente, realmente me gustó, y más en este color caqui, excelente, estética 10 de 10, excelente volumen, sin exageración, excelente textura, excelente calidad de ensamble, que más puedo decir

Een goede radio met zeer goede ontvangst alhoewel ik in het Centrum woont kun je er redelijk vele radio stations ontvangen dus goed geslaagd.

Ich bin ein Hifibastler und arbeite als mein Hobby alte Hifitechnik aus den 70‘ern + 80‘ern auf (Tonbandgeräte, Kassettendecks, Radios, Plattenspieler usw.). Durch dieses Hobby weiß ich, was klanglich möglich ist und habe immer einen Vergleich zu neuen Geräten. Nun habe ich mir aus Interesse einfach mal ein paar kompakte Radios gekauft, um zu sehen, was heutzutage angeboten wird und ich war teilweise wirklich positiv überrascht. Die Firma Raddy kannte ich vorher noch nicht, nun besitze ich bereits 5 Radios von Raddy. Auch wenn einige Geräte scheinbar eine Gemeinschaftsproduktion mit anderen Herstellern zu sein scheint (z.B. Retekess), bewerte ich hier mithilfe meiner Erfahrungen die Firma Raddy. Hier geht es nun um das außergewöhnliche Raddy RF-320: Das Gehäuse / die Funktionen: - ein tolles „Solid-State-Design“ der 80‘er - digitales Display und analoge Anzeige getrennt beleuchtbar - schöne Beleuchtungsdetails – sogar auf der Rückseite (als indirekte Stimmungsbeleuchtung) - seitlich eingebaute Taschenlampe mit guter Streuung - saubere Verarbeitung und teils sehr schöne haptische Bedienung über die beiden Frequenzeinstellräder - eine schöne doppelte LED Lichterkette oben drauf wird zur Anzeige von (VU) Pegel verwendet und ist ein absolutes Design-Highlight, abschaltbar - die Tasten an der Front besitzen alle eine Doppelbelegung - Bluetooth Wiedergabe bzw. in Verbindung mit der Raddy-App mit Handy fernbedienbar - MP3 Wiedergabe und weitere Formate über Micro-SD Karte - Stereowiedergabe über Klinkenbuchse - AUX – Eingang über Klinkenbuchse - austauschbarer 18650‘er Akku Der Empfang: Auch der Sendersuchlauf gestaltet sich hier als ein Design-Highlight, da sich direkt mit dem Rad eine interne Rundskala dreht, die zwar nur in % analog anzeigt, wo man ist, aber dafür wird die Frequenz zuverlässig im linken Display angezeigt. - Sender rasten sauber und einfach ein - die Sender finden sich sehr einfach mit dem Senderrrad, manche Sender sind aber nicht ganz rauschfrei empfangbar, wo andere Raddyradios etwas rauschärmer regeln Zwischen den Sendern gibt es zum Glück mal keine komplette Rauschunterdrückung, was den manuellen Sendersuchlauf extrem vereinfacht (z.B. im SW und MW Band). Die Empfangsstärke würde ich als mittelgut einstufen. Bei FM ist der Empfang vertretbar gut. Dafür konnte ich im SW-Band einige schwache Sender garnicht reinbekommen, das ist aber mehr meckern auf hohem Niveau. Der Klang: Insgesamt gibt es hier einen sehr sauberen Lautsprecherklang mit klaren Höhen, der aber leider nur über teils unbrauchbare Equalizer-Voreinstellungen veränderbar ist. Der interne 5 W Mono-Lautsprecher besitzt eine zusätzliche Bassmembrane auf der Rückseite und ist im Gehäuse getrennt gekapselt, wodurch der tiefe Bass etwas betont wird. Nicht so doll ist der Klang über den Stereo Klinken-Kopfhöreranschluss – hier fehlt es einfach an Höhen und Bässen und die voreingestellten Equalizereinstellungen machen das Ganze nicht besser. Fazit: Raddy – bitte integriert bei solchen schönen Radios eine getrennte Bass- und Höhenregelung – die voreingstellten Equalizerklänge bieten nicht das, wozu das Radio fähig ist. Ansonsten ein schönes und außergewöhnliches Radio im 80‘er Jahre Solid-State-Design mit sehenswerter VU-Anzeige und haptisch sehr angenehmer Senderwahl. Der Klang mit dem Lautsprecher ist top aber über Klinkenbuchse etwas ausbaufähig. Ich vergebe trotzdem volle 5 Sterne, weil das einfach ein tolles Radio ist und dazu gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung für Sammler und Radiofans, die etwas optisch Besonderes haben wollen.

Doet het goed op alle frequenties goed geluid Zou fijn zijn dat er een aansluiting voor een externe antenne op zat maar zonder heb je ook goede onvangst
