In a mass market of inexpensive digital portable radios, does the Retekess TR106 stick out? or does it blend in with the crowd? The TR106 comes with many features that the user will find useful. Digital Clock, Alarm, Thirty Five Presets per Band, and a normal retractable Antenna. The low price should make you look twice ;)

Features I like about this Radio:
Slim Design.
Curved Corners make it Pocket Friendly.
Sounds Great with Headphones.
FM Reception is Above Average.
Twenty Four Hour Clock.
9kHz to 10kHz is Manually Adjustable.
A normal, retractable FM antenna. This is Nice to See.
Uses Standard AAA batteries, and works with NiMH Rechargeables.
Super Fast Tuning! Also Incremental Tuning along with Search.
Thirty Five Presets Per Band.
Auto Scan and Save for Presets.
The Ability to Manually add Presets.
Carry Strap.
Sleep Function.
Alarm Function, Wakes to Radio.
Features that could be Added or Improved on:
FM Stereo. Will add Appeal.
A Display LED Light, if it is low power consumption.
Improve AGC on the AM band for better performance.
Overall, this radio gets a maybe recommendation. This means there are other radios in this price range that are worthy. The feature set of the TR106 is Solid and if a few things are tweaked it will stand above the crowded arena.

I just got this radio upon your review and enjoy it very much. It’s certainly not a DX machine on AM, but FM 📻 is great. Thanks for another terrific recommendation.

Please consider reviewing the Digitech AR-1458. It uses a revolutionary new chip that is very sensitive.

9 kHz and 10 kHz step switch for AM. Also on HRD-104. THE HRD-104 has FM expanded band but that Retekess radio, only 87.5 - 108 MHz

How do you change AM step up to 10 kHz? I somehow changed to 9khz which is not correct for USA where I live?

I figured it out. When radio is off press the + button (ie. volume button on the far right).

Which is better in terms of sound loudness and quality, and also battery life; this or the Retekess TR103

The TR103 sounds great, and has great AM reception as well. The 106 will outlast the 103 when it comes to run times.
