I love that this thing can also play WAV. Flac would have been nicer but at least there's a lossless option. Also this TWS feature seem to be a nice idea but doesn't seem to work well because each radio has to be linked to as individual device to the Bluetooth playing device. Dunno how to pair them both so they actually do become twin speakers. Personally i don't really care for that feature as i never use Bluetooth audio at all but only Aux in if available. The radio is a real cutie and i love that it really can become a real Old time radio playback device with a good sound and a proper vintage look. Because that's half the fun :) For the whole retro Appeal i gotta this model and the J-160, that you kindly reviewed as well, are really a close match. And i love that the Battery is actually replacable and easily accessible without having to unscrew it.

Duffy's Tavern lol Is there a headphone jack included with this so I could hook up an external speaker? (I just saw that you mentioned it doesn't have that). Or, I really like the retro look, so could you possibly recommend any other similar models with same? I would also be interested in a lighted dial, but that's not really a big issue, I'm just thinking of night time listening, and it does look nice on the shelf. Not sure what led me here, I was just thinking about getting a radio over the past few days, and this is an excellent Channel. I've been watching videos all day.

Hi Todd, love the reviews. I have a 660, 880. 99700dx 7600gr. What do you think the best radio for ssb, shortwave and am is? I am kind of loving the s-2000 look, not sure if it's worth it. I had a satellite 800 that I sold years ago. My anniversary so it's no holds barred

The Satellit 800 was supposed to be better than the S-2000/Eton Elite 750. Personally I like using the Sangean 909X with an external antenna.

These accept two D Batteries, right? Will the solar panel charge them as well as the internal battery?

@todderbert 4 ай бұрын

The solar is for the 18650 battery. Only used to keep the battery topped off. When using Two D Cells, I recommend removing the 18650. I love this radio, and use it daily. I modded my positive terminal to accept flat top 18650s, which are plentiful..been working great on a battery pulled from a modem pack. An LG 2500mAh. Expect decent run times, since it pulls around 60ma at low volume.

People ask why I have so many radios and ask what the wires are that I have strung along the walls. I was used to hundreds of feet of antenna wire looped around my house when I was in the mountains for SW & ham band listening, now in the city apartment I have to string them indoors. If I get another radio it will look like a radio shop in here. I have the same thing going on with my cellphones which I use for anything but phone service. I like retro styled radios with modern features. Just added three cathedral/tombstone reproduction radios to the collection and am listening to an audio book through the Philco-Ford. The ones with line in on the back have the added benefit of connection with cellphone via RCA/3.5mm plug adapter for playing old radio show audio files through. The ones with cassette player instead of RCA input can be connected to cellphone with a cassette adapter. Just don't like using the old retro styled radios for listening to anything modern.
