ally how do they compare with the earlier p 780 read the ge p 840 p 875 review emerson 31p61 am fm radio some online sources say the emerson 31p61 was introduced in 1966 but my sams service manual is dated 1968 so that may be the better guess it is an all analog 9 transistor design powered by 4 c cells and measuring 9 x 5 25 x 2 5 although it uses a ceramic vari cap tuning condenser has no tuned rf stage on am and has a smallish 4 1 4 ferrite rod antenna its am performance is amazingly good transistor technology was advancing at a fast rate and by the late 1960 s their superior gain and signal to noise specs allowed fairly simple circuits to perform surprisingly well its design is simple yet visually appealing this is a nice looking radio read the emerson 31p61 article tecsun s 2200x world band radio i must admit i was both curious and excited when i heard that tecsun was replacing the discontinued s 2000 with an all new s 2200x originally introduced in 2008 the s 2000 was sold under several names including the tecsun s 2000 grundig satellit 750 eton satellit 750 and eton elite 750 of all the tecsun radios i have owned over the years which is most of them that radio was the quirkiest with tuning issues which really put me off you can read my comments on the original model here anna at anon co com graciously sent me a review sample and advised that the new s 2200 was an entirely new radio inside the original cabinet this radio is feature rich and we ll describe them in detail then take the s 2200x for a test drive read the t ecsun s 2200x review cc radio solar am fm weather emergency radio with bluetooth when c crane introduced the original cc radio solar i was very impressed with it now it has been upgraded with the addition of bluetooth which is perhaps the only feature the original model lacked in every other way the new radio seems identical to the previous model it is currently selling for 99 99 which is the same price the original model sold for and it is unique among emergency radios in terms of its overall level of performance and features read the cc radio solar bt review xhdata d 220 d 221 compact am fm sw radio the xhdata d 220 is a no frills compact am fm sw portable radio measuring 2 8 l x 1 1 w x 4 9 h it is available in three colors black orange and green and features a slide rule dial frequency coverage of am 520 1730 khz fm 1 64 108 mhz fm 2 87 108 mhz and sw 5 6 22 mhz the d 220 tunes am in 1 khz steps so it can properly tune to stations in all countries using either 10 khz or 9 khz channel spacing it runs on two aa batteries there is a flip out back stand lanyard carrying strap and a stereo earphone jack so even though there is no fm stereo you will hear sound on both sides of stereo earbuds it is currently selling on amazon for 15 98 read the xhdata d 220 d 221 review raddy rf919 wideband receiver a very cool wide coverage receiver but with some issues to be ironed out overview the raddy rf919 packs a world of reception into an arrestingly handsome and solid instrument it not only covers standard fm mw lw and sw including ssb modes but in addition covers weather band air band a dedicated cb band vhf from 30 250 mhz and uhf from 250 990 mhz with 1600 memories and ats it also features unusually complete external antenna inputs and controls which give more user control over antennas than usual there are two illuminated displays and the buttons are also illuminated additionally the raddy not only plays audio from sd cards but can also record a truly useful feature sorely lacking on many sd card capable radios there are also 10 eq settings and bluetooth playback the rf919 is clearly aimed at radio enthusiasts who are willing to learn the ins and outs of a receiver which covers more bands and handles more antennas than any radio i have tested previously read the raddy rf919 review motorola x31 series analog am radio the motorola x31a x31n ranger was introduced in 1961 or 1962 the later x31a 1 gray x31b 1 blue x31e 1 black and x31n 1 ginger arrived in 1962 i have two of the 1 versions which dropped the ranger name but were upgraded with an external antenna connector they are 8 transistor designs featuring a tuned rf stage three gang air variable tuning condenser and a decent sized 5 1 4 ferrite rod antenna for potentially excellent performance they include a unique leather cover which can snap on the front for protection during transit or placed on the back for convenient storage pretty cool originally retailing for 49 95 they may have sometimes sold for as low as 35 or so neither worked as received so i had to get them playing before i could evaluate them read the motorola x31 review ge digital superadio 7 2882a the ge superadios are among the best known and best performing am fm portable radios ever made anywhere near their price and have achieved cult status among knowledgeable radio hobbyists the classic 3 models included the original sr model 7 2880 the sr ii model 7 2885 and the sr iii model 7 2997 enter the little known digital superadio model 7 2882a introduced in 1982 i don t think many were made perhaps the price was a bit much for an am fm portable radio at the time the analog sr ii retailed for 79 95 while the digital version sold for 139 95 those two 1982 prices convert to 257 versus 453 in 2024 the big question is the digital 7 2882a truly a superadio ge never called it a superadio but it shares many attributes of those classic sets we ll take a look into this little known radio to see if it measures up read the ge 7 2882a digital superadio review qodosen where did this new company come from i have been asked to provide some background information about qodosen a brand new company which has produced one of the most astounding portable radios ever seen since their first radio the sr 286 and the official release version dx 286 offered such breakthrough improvements in performance many people may wonder where this company came from believe me it did not come out of the blue i was lucky that a chinese radio enthusiast sent me the first radio to evaluate and he also put me in touch with the radio s designer mr deping zeng since the qodosen is such a remarkable design i think you will be interested in mr zeng s background he has been responsible for more radio designs than you might imagine and fortunately mr zeng has graciously provided me with a bit of history to share with you here is what he wrote to me dear mr jay i m happy to share my history in the broadcasting industry in my youth i joined tecsun in 1994 and left in 2005 i participated in designing many models such as the tecsun bcl 2000 grundig eton s350 dl after leaving tecsun i founded redsun radio focusing on r d the rp 2100 which i developed was well received and oemed by many brands abroad including cc radio sw kaito ka 2100 k po wr 2100 silicon scientific 75498 roadstar tra 2350 and elta 3569 i worked at redsun for five years during my time there i designed several products for c crane such as the cc radio sw cc ep cc swp and cc solar observer i also collaborated with other brands like toshiba elpa and digitech in 2009 i left redsun and founded a new company dedicated to oem for various brands i had in depth collaborations with c crane and eton including models like eton s450 dxl elite executive elite field bt elite traveler eton mini compact frx1 frx2 and c crane cc fm transmitter 2 3 cc ep pro cc skywave cc skywave ssb cc pocket cc solar cc pocket as well as xhdata d 808 r 108 and digitech ar 1780 ar 1748 ar 1945 ar 1733 now i have established the qodosen brand our first product is the dx 286 radio next qodosen will launch more radios with various functions i have been in the radio industry for 30 years and have always loved broadcasting witnessing the changes in technology nowadays with the prevalence of digital media and smartphones the way people access information and entertainment is changing radio users are gradually decreasing but i believe that radios will not disappear entirely they still have unique advantages and space so as it turns out we ve been enjoying mr zeng s radio designs for a very long time and i think you will agree that his background in radio design speaks for itself i look forward to future qodoesn products jay allen qodosen dx 286 a great radio becomes even better when the original qodosen sr 286 was introduced it caused quite a sensation in the radio community utilizing the tef 6686 chip originally designed for automotive use it offered extremely high trend setting performance along with an unprecedented amount of user control over many circuit parameters but its distribution was somewhat limited now qodosen enters the world of mainstream products with their updated official export version dx 286 here in the us it is available on amazon in a deluxe package which includes a hard carrying case a short usb charging cable and printed owner s manual and offering identical performance but with a simplified control arrangement read the qodoesn dx 286 review am and fm portables mega shootout lists 2024 update once again i have updated the very popular

based on model updates evolving technology and ongoing testing as of now both of these articles are continuously updated so new reviews will be included shortly after their primary reviews are posted

priced sets read the zenith royal 32 35 640 645 645l article panasonic r 1492 vintage am portable the panasonic r 1492 aka the elmhurst is an am only analog portable radio from 1972 it is a simple 6 transistor design available in black red orange and green it s a great looking radio with a dual faced tuning dial scale which can be viewed either from the front on the top rather unusual the few

here s another vintage radio which a reader loaned to me for review this guy works in vermont helping people who have trouble receiving their pbs station amidst obstructions caused by hilly terrain he told me that among the collection of radios on which he relies the sony icf 5500w is among the best for fm he sent me one on loan along with a dead set for investigation and i m glad he did because

am reception when sony introduced the icf 2001 in 1980 it was nothing short of a revolution in portable radios not to be confused with the later icf 2001d which is a completely different model introduced in 1985 and known here in the us as the icf 2010 one of the longest lived and most iconic portable radios ever made the icf 2001 was the first portable radio to offer direct frequency input via a numeric key pad with a digital readout and other digital tuning features somehow though the icf 2001 seems to have faded into relative obscurity and i had never seen one or known enough about it to look for one until a reader named george graciously loaned me his 2001 for evaluation as it turns out the icf 2001 has some unusual capabilities which we will explore read the sony icf 2001 review
