Review: RETEKESS TR 635 AM FM SW Radio - RETEKESS TR 635 AM FM SW Radio. This is a great sounding high quality radio. A keeper. I like the way the controls behave. LED Backlight only comes on when changing a station, then goes out a few seconds later, leaving the LCD on to show station frequency. Changing the radio volume does not make backlight come on. When the radio is off it displays the time with your choice of am/pm or 24 hour format. Has hi/low tone control switch. Volume control suits my needs from nightstand radio to room filling sound. ATS automatic presets are a nice feature with quick forward/backward buttons to access station presets. Backlight, which is on for only a few seconds after changing stations, does not seem to affect reception. AM band is in 10 khz step for USA market. I tried AM band scan a couple of times with great results. SW and FM seem fine as well. No keypad here, but buttons and tuning knob work well enough to get the stations I wanted. Can stations be manually added or deleted? SW coverage 2.30 Mhz to 21.19 Mhz The radio came to me in a plastic bag with AC power cord and nothing else. No manual or instructions sheet, but I really didn't need it.
Review: Just for the price! - I gave this radio 5 stars for what it was and what it costs. I realize there are much better radios out there with many more features but for the 30 bucks I spent I got a large radio with substantial weight, which I love as it doesn't fall over when I jiggle the table, It has a great FM sound and I can get shortwave on a 100 foot antenna very well. No, I cannot enter frequencies directly from a number pad or save stations that I choose with out scanning but...30 bucks!

### ⭐ THIS RETEKESS RADIO IS JUNK !!!
*by J***R on April 30, 2025*

I bought this radio because of the Retekess brand name I have other Retekess equipment and they are top shelf quality. I wish I could say the same for this radio. Advertised as having best reception and excellent sound quality. Neither is true. I live in a metro area with stations ever few Khz on the dial. This radio picks up at best 10 FM stations, and the sound is distorted with constant popping noises. My OEM car radio is better. I tried to return it, but spent the entire day going from one DHL store to another. Each one said that they didn't accept prepaid shipping invoices and sent me to another store. Got the same story at 6 DHL stores. Finally gave up in disgust. JUNK !!!
