peradio 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 am and fm mega shootout articles i have added all of the important new radios which have been reviewed during the past year and have made a few minor adjustments up or down for some existing models 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 some very inexpensive radios have been omitted since they are designed for tiny size and convenience at the expense of top performance thanks so much for all of your support during these past many years and i hope you enjoy the website jay allen am portables mega shootout fm portables mega shoouout zenith royal 32 35 640 645 645l am portables zenith like some other manufacturers such as sony often played games with confusing model numbers using similar model numbers for very different radios and conversely issuing very different model numbers for some very similar radios this article will look at several models which share the same chassis and are essentially the same radios inside model confusion aside these are some very nice radios with amazingly good performance among bargain 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 online reviews i found ranged from ok to mediocre so i was curious to see how well it would perform read the panasonic r 1492 review qodosen sr 286 am lw fm sw high performance portable updated this is a rather unusual review of a rather singular product the qodosen sr 286 is based on the nxp tef6686 dsp chip which is designed for car radio use as such it offers levels of performance and adjustability far beyond what i have come to expect of portable radios in some ways this little radio has absolutely astounded me with what it can do in many ways it is nothing short of amazing i have added an addendum at the conclusion discussing gary debock s supercharged sr 286 read the updated qodosen sr 286 review sihuadon r 108 review update this is an update to the radiwow r 108 review published in 2019 a while back xhdata had rebadged the radiwow as the sihuadon r 108 there have been a few updates along the way and this article will refer to those as well as the latest update available spring 2024 i ended up with three different production versions of this radio we ll check them out compare them and take a quick look inside read the sihuadon r 108 update sony icf 5500w 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 although i had known this model existed i never knew much about it and it has turned out to be a real find with unexpectedly great reception read the sony icf 5500w review sears silvertone 800 900 6223 3223 4223 updates this is an update to add more models to the story read updated article sony icf 2001 am lw sw fm a most unusual radio and a look at some other radios which use whip antennas for 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 xhdata d 608 emergency radio the new d 608 is a full featured emergency radio from xhdata who has become a major manufacturer of portable radios over the past several years it provides excellent performance and all the features we have come to expect of modern digital emergency radios with few extra features not generally seen as well you might also find it great for general daily use as well read the xhdata d 608 review sangean hdr 19 am fm hd bluetooth radio sangean s hdr 19 is an upgrade to their superb analog style wr 55 which i reported on a few months ago it is housed in the same

reception rds and remote control i ll put the two radios side by side to compare them for you read the sangean hdr 19 review sony tfm 7300 super sensitive am fm portable sony s iconic line of super sensitive radios were very popular models produced from the late 1950 s through at least the mid 70 s they performed amazingly well even with somewhat simplified designs and were certainly desirable in many ways the tfm 7300 is a lunchbox size am fm radio introduced in 1965 and is overall a very nice all analog radio read the s ony tfm 7300 super sensitive radio review motorola xp7c xp7ce am portable radio for those of you who follow my website you know that for the past few years i have been discovering more and more vintage analog portable radios this motorola was recommended to me by a reader who felt it was the hottest radio he ever had and that it had outperformed some reference radios which i have rated as which is quite a claim i must admit i had never heard of this model before and i found very little information about it online but as usual i was extremely curious as to what it was all about read the motorola xp7c xp7ce review sangean wr 55 am fm table radio at first glance the wr 55 appears to be an ordinary am fm table radio but it is actually an advanced design with performance that is surprising in some ways its release is timed to celebrate sangean s 50 th anniversary and they have designated it as a 50 th anniversary commemorative edition operationally the wr 55 is a simple am fm tabletop design with a lighted rotary analog style tuning dial volume and tone controls am fm aux bluetooth mode selector and a tuning mode led indicator but it s got some surprises under the hood that make it special let s take the wr 55 for a test drive hitachi th 812 am portable radio here s another classic all analog am only portable from the 60 s hitachi described the th 812 as super sensitivity plus this is the first hitachi radio i ve had so i was very interested to learn all i could about it it was introduced in 1964 and is a 9 transistor design with a tuned rf stage and three gang air variable tuning condenser old school all the way and highly desirable it features a 5 ferrite rod of large cross section a big slide rule dial 3 1 2 x 5 ½ approx oval speaker leather case and gives very long battery life from its 6 d cells let s take the hitachi th 812 for a test drive xhdata d 109wb am lw sw fm weather band bluetooth radio tf card reader xhdata s new d 109wb is an upgrade to their excellent d 109 which i reviewed several months ago most of its details still apply original xhdata d 109 review there s good news and great news here the new radio has all the same basic performance and features of the original d 109 but adds several new features and capabilities which make it a very worthwhile upgrade read the xhdata d 109wb review c crane skywave 2 following the upgrade of the skywave ssb to the ssb 2 several months ago c crane has now announced

2850 the masterwork m 2812 and m 2850 are am portables from the early to mid 1960 s i bought one of these as a kid when i discovered how sensitive it was it was a revelation that let me hear my favorite weak station much more clearly than on my previous portable radio roughly 55 years later in 2023 i found them on ebay and was surprised at how well they perform today read the masterwork m 2812 m 2850 review xhdata sihuadon d 808 update may 2023 the original xhdata d 808 was released several years ago and rapidly became a favorite model for radio enthusiasts due to its excellent performance and a very complete set of features at a relatively low cost just over 100 there may have been ongoing changes along the way but i am aware of two main revisions one which occurred in 2021 2022 and one more recently in 2023 there has been much discussion online about reduced am performance of the new version so i decided to obtain one to compare with my original d 808 and the results were interesting read the updated xhdata d 808 review tecsun pl 320 am fm sw portable radio the new tecsun pl 320 has arrived and takes its place as one of the recent crop of small inexpensive radios with amazingly good performance for the size and price when we heard about the new pl 320 we were told it would be the same as the pl 330 minus ssb and synchronous detection as it turns out however the 320 seems to have benefitted from a few upgrades so it has some plusses to consider and it does one or two tricks not available on the pl 330 read the tecsun pl 320 review how i test radios i am frequently asked how i test radios and decided it was time to explain exactly how i do it there are many sources of information as well as disinformation on the internet and they vary from helpful to ridiculously inept so for the record here is an overview of my testing methodology read article how i test radios xhdata d 109 multiband radio w bluetooth tf card reader the new xhdata d 109 has been
