Sorry Fred, but for the price, it's just not worth the money for me m8. If it half that price I might have thought about it. I'm flying out to somewhere in a few months time, & I can listen to air frequency stuff on my icom 92E no problem while I I sit in the departure lounge. I,m not really bothered about music, not that I'll hear much music on that from inside a Boeing 777 at 40,000 feet, lol. Listening to the air coms though should be no problem, lol. Kind regards, Ray.

Hey Joely. Would be great to hear you on the radio. Yes the 305 is struggling and has really dropped off. They changed my work shift pattern and its tight for me to get on the radio Normally it starts around 4.30pm now. Dan Hatfield has tried to keep it going but it does need some more support.

I have just bought one of these for my upcoming holiday. It was £80 on Amazon, *but* it is branded the Retekess TR110. They appear identical, apart from on the Retekess they have spelled "Frequency" correctly 😝

Looks like a very capable little radio. You do get better features on a bigger form factor radio, but you pay more too. The only change I'd want is a better external antenna socket, like an SMA connector which would give more versatility on the type of antenna used.

@normanhill535 8 ай бұрын
@@monotech20.14 my Han Rong Da HRD 747 is slightly insensitive on some radio bands, so I may get the other version just for interest. HRD version is great on MW, FM, Air band and some VHF like weather radio and VHF marine channels. Shortwave and CB is passable. Oh, the medium wave antenna is at the bottom of the radio, so holding makes you part of the antenna like on Sangean DT series radios. Last the battery, BL-5C is a common battery here. Wishing you success and good health and respect and good listening in 2024. 73s.

I cannot think of anything as small as this one. The best portable SW radio i have is a Tecsun 600. You can get them used for less than £100. Wont go up to 1.5 ghz though. Have you thought about using an SDR dongle.

Well with SDR you really need to use a laptop but it is a very wide band scanner. I settled on a Nooelec SDR. Loads of video on the channel getting it working. See more here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epZ2gZVmktXPaHU.html

Hello Fred , I hope that all is well & good . I just wanted to ask if you use a low pass filter to stop interference with neighbours , something like the Zetagi F27 . I'm moving to a block of flats & am concerned that I might interfere with neighbours tv , I have the CRT 6900 & the 9900 .

There are no private codes on PMR radios, the CTCSS and DCS is not private but if you use it only the station with the same code can answer you but all other will hear you, but they can't talk to you if they don't use the same code.
@circattle 10 ай бұрын
Although if you wanted a bit of "security through obscurity", you could get some cheap dPMR handsets instead of analogue.
