n update to their ga450 although it is described as being automatically tuned i think it is more accurately described as an untuned loop either way there is no tuning needed which makes remote placement possible frequency coverage is stated as 10 khz through 159 mhz which means it includes lw mw sw fm and even airband such wide coverage is unusual it is currently selling on amazon for 119 reviews i ve seen are mixed and after testing it i understand why different users have had different experiences this antenna is great in certain applications exactly how you intend to use it will determine how successful it will be for you read the deshibo ga800 review avantree soundbyte t streaming radio to earbuds btsp 860 t recently a reader suggested that i check out the avantree soundbyte t streaming radio because it has one unusual feature it can not only act as a bluetooth speaker but it can also transmit via bluetooth to a pair of supplied earbuds and this seemed like an exciting feature to try out i was interested in this because i often use an earbud style radio when i do my yard work and i use noise blocking earbuds to also shield me from the loud noise of my lawnmower whose motor sits right behind me and although this works well that earbud cable often gets caught on things as i work so it seemed that wireless buds might be a great solution the avantree soundbyte t model btsp 860 t is rich with features and we ll put it through its paces to see how well it performs read the avantree soundbyte t review sangean u7hd am fm rds hd rugged jobsite radio several years ago sangean sent me their fantastic u4 rugged jobsite radio and i was impressed not only by its overall performance but especially by its strong audio now they have introduced the upgraded u7hd radio which is in some ways the same and in some ways new and improved the original u4 will continue to be available and the choice of which is best for you will depend on exactly how you intend to use it as the two have different features both are top performers in this category read the sangean u7hd review c crane cc pocket am fm noaa weather alert radio updated feb 2025 the cc pocket radio from c crane was introduced in 2013 and has recently been updated adding new features and other improvements including the inclusion of 3 rather than 2 am bandwidths and is an excellent value at its current amazon price of 64 99 it s a walkman style radio primarily designed to be used with the included cc buds however there is also a built in speaker for utility use which can be very useful and is of particular importance if you use the radio for noaa weather alerts the cc pocket covers standard am and fm as well as the 7 noaa weather band frequencies and runs on 2 aa batteries and competes head to head with other top earbud style radios read the cc pocket review qodoesn dx 286 accessory package qodoesen is now selling an accessories package for their dx 286 and it looks like an incredibly good deal to me this package includes canvas carry bag with velcro closure telescopic whip antenna antenna cable 5 meter 16 ft 2 rubber feet battery cover 2 flip stands all for 10 which would be a good price for the whip antenna alone see this package at amazon outside the us see it at ali express ge p 990a world monitor the ge p 990a was sold between 1964 and 1967 priced at 125 and is yet another fine example of heavy duty old school design featuring a massive steel chassis housed in a beautiful two tone leather covered cabinet it is simply beautiful to look at with an attractive multi colored dial scale another heavy radio from the time when weight meant quality and this ge is no exception according to its designer conrad jutson who also was responsible for the popular p 780 series and several other projects the p 990 world monitor was ge s answer to the zenith trans oceanic but was designed to sell at a much lower price we ll take a close look to see how well they achieved their goal read the ge p 990 article pocket portables update i last reported on pocket portables in 2016 and 2022 but things in this arena continue to evolve rapidly and it was time for an update this time i collected more than 20 pocket sized radios ranging in price from under 10 to over 60 and found many surprises in today s marketplace these radios often appear under different names and and some have no model name or number at all but the trend is for ever increasing performance at lower prices as far as i know this is the largest such comparative survey of pocket radios ever done and if you re looking for a personal sized portable i think you will find this information interesting read the pocket portables review national panasonic r 2500b am sw radio the national panasonic r 2500b was sold between 1971 and 1974 and is a great example of old school portable radio design by that i mean it is solid with a heavy steel chassis and all discrete components it is big and heavy and has no fm but covers am from 525 1605 khz and sw from 1 6 to 30 mhz in 4 sw bands it uses 11 transistors and has tuned rf on all bands and features a very large tuning dial and not one but two ferrite rod antennas i also found it interesting that it says super sensitive on the front panel which is a moniker sony used from the late 50 s through the 70 s read the national panasonic r 2500b review quick shopping guide jay s personal picks for performance and value although i provide in depth reports on portable radios past and present to help you shop here is a quick way to find that perfect radio for yourself or as a gift you can always find in depth information about any of these radios by clicking on the links to their full reports all prices here were valid as of late 2024 there are many other choices but these are all best in their classes and are my personal favorites and recommendations happy shopping read the new quick shopping guide ge p 840 p 875 am radios released in 1962 or 1963 the general electric p 840 p 875 are the apparent successors to ge s ground breaking tour de force p 780 series of portable am radios interestingly although the p 840 and p 875 radios look identical and share virtually identical chassis the p 840 is an 8 transistor design while the p 875 uses 7 transistors the p 840 has a two transistor audio driver stage while the p 875 uses a single transistor audio driver these radios are about two thirds the size and weight of the p 780 series but still share many of the former s design concepts heavy steal chassis beefy speaker large ferrite rod tuned rf stage and a three gang air variable tuning condenser i had read some glowing reports about these radios that described them as top performers so how well do they perform and specifically 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
