Wooooooooooooaaaaa thank you!

If you want you can save the mono recorded file in stereo after you have opened and edited the file in DAW.

Thanks! Joe K0NEB told me that as well. I'm going to mention it on the live show this week as well. :)

Yes I had to laugh at the very creative explanation tho!

NO FUNCIONA EN SW

I’m the person in charge of Retekess of eBay. Regarding that the radio station cannot be used in USB charging mode, you can enter my channel. There is an operation video to solve this problem. Thank you for your support to Retekess

@@retekessebay7662 I have had one for a few years and like it. One thing that really makes this radio stay in the drawer is noise from the lcd entering the am section of the radio. It needs a grounded screen plate/foil behind the lcd. Noise level is so high that it mostly makes sw unusable. Searched and found the video you taked about but why is it age restricted ?

@@migsvensurfing6310 I’m not good at operating KZfaq video settings, I don’t know how to watch without setting age Can you email me and elaborate on your question? We have not received similar feedback for the time being. You know, many people don’t like to share their feelings.

@@retekessebay7662 Hi. According to the information from Retekess in Amazon customers questions, a microphone can be plugged into “line in” jack to record from external microphone. Ive tried several microphones with ts and trs jacks... no way to get this radio working with an external microphone :( Maybe an amplified signal is needed, anyway, no info about this from Retekess. Could you please help me with this? Thanks in advance. Regards!

It’s a line in signal not mic. Let me test though

I was the second person in the past hour that purchased this radio but your seller link wouldn’t ship to PO Boxes and when I changed my address, wouldn’t ship to Hawaii but I was able to buy it on eBay for only $22.

@@digitaldreamer5481 I will let them know that. Thanks.

You can email ebay@retekess.com and they can solve the ordering issue for you.

The sound is BEATING my Tecsun PL-330 I didn't even know it was a shortwave radio until AFTER i bought the Tecsun!

Thank you. AM seems fine here even with weaker stations, and SW works. I’ll do a test outside even with a long wire.

There's a mod that involves taking it apart and shielding the LCD with copper foil there's a vid on how to do it improves it immensely look for the comparison vid after mod comparing it to the XHDATA 808

@@ashab1 Yes true. Havent taken it apart yet, but shielding is the way ahead. Thanks.

@@ashab1 Isn't there a "ground" to be made into the copper shield to the circuit board somewhere? I am under the impression that it is RFI noise due to the fact that it is a DOT MATRIX LCD? Digital LCD is much quieter & the standard as a display?

@@johnbeckham1483 you know more than me buddy

dB meter in the app store

@@n2rj Thanks! ❤️

It’s for SW and FM.

That is true, the SD is VERY basic.

Two pieces. Lol that sounds like a wish or Temu listing

You can. I believe via usb cable but also with an audio cable output,

Fat32

@@n2rj Tried FAT32. Keep on saying unsupported file system

I read an article where someone strung up a wire loop around their room. That may work.

@@n2rj thank you. I will try it!

Longer is better. Best if it’s resonant at the frequency or close. It makes a world of difference.

@@n2rjExcellent. Thanks for the fast reply!

I believe it is meant to use the memory and advance that way. But, I would guess...that if you erase the memory...the advance will go manually with out it. Otherwise...direct entry is the only way I know of.

For the average person listening to broadcast radio, AM (including DSB SW AM) and FM are all they need. I agree that SSB is more useful for ham radio and those kinds of use. But you're not getting a radio with SSB in this price range at all. If you know of one, link it because I'd like to review it. The cheapest SSB radio I've seen is the Tecsun PL-330 which is $80 ($75 if you have it shipped from China). I may review that one as well.

@@n2rj I'm much older than you, and I remember when there was plenty of AM on SW including ships, airplanes, Ham radio, and numerous government and some private broadcasting. Back then not having SSB wasn't much of a loss, but now even with SSB there is just a few % of the former activity and at best 1% of AM transmissions so an AM-only SW receiver is of little use.

@@P_RO_ I wouldn’t say so at all. Actually I was a SWL in the 1980s and 1990s. There is still plenty of AM shortwave around and in fact there are broadcasters in the USA, such as WBCQ that didn’t exist back then. It is less than before but I wouldn’t say an AM only SW radio is useless. That said if you have the money for SSB, get SSB. I will be showing a BFO that you can use to make any radio receive SSB.

@@n2rj My SWL days go back to the mid 70's and began when Dad occasionally brought out his Hallicrafters which we listened to together from the mid 60's. With the internet coning of age allowing international "broadcasts" to be done at a fraction of the cost while still reaching almost everyone saw most of the national broadcasts switch to online only, and saw the scheduled radio broadcasts become fewer and shorter. SW broadcasting went from trying to reach the whole world to being aimed only at current and former colonial areas, and timed accordingly. It was easy to 'catch' 50 different nations on the air in a week of evening listening. I logged over 100 and had QSL's from many of them. There aren't even 50 nations broadcasting internationally now on the SW bands. Ham's have almost abandoned AM as well since SSB gear became widely factory-made and common in our shacks. Even 'pirate' radio has waned significantly, and all the commercial messaging stations have gone to digital modes or satellite. The few private broadcasters are mostly religious oriented, few have anything interesting going on anymore. You can still find something to hear but it used to be hard to not find something interesting and different. It used to be hard to not become bored with what you could find; now it's such that my listening sessions usually falter in under an hour unless listening on SSB where Hams and maritime traffic can be found. If all you have is AM SW it's better than nothing but not by much; normal broadcast bands (MW and FM) are nearly as good. If your goal is like Ham "contesting' just to see how many stations you can hear, AM SW will still deliver there, and at an equal rate of being of value in any other way. Yes you can still hear far-away stations but there's no longer much worth listening to. As someone with a deep love of radio it's been heartbreaking but the world changes and moves on to other things; the 'golden days' of radio are over and save for specific purposes radio is dying of old age. An off-board BFO is technically interesting, but begs the question of why when SSB RCVRs are cheap and readily available, and probably at an equal or lower cost with less fuss involved. If you have another superhet RCVR then you already have an off-board BFO if you know what to do with it; harmonic interference isn't always your enemy. It's more of a 'neat trick' than a useful technique but it does actually work when it's all you've got to work with. 73 and happy airwaves to you!

Let me know what your preferred band and mode is

Been searching to see if it will read exFAT formatted sdcards, can't find out anywhere, but that could be the problem. Reader in my car only accepts Fat32 not exFAT so limits the amount of files it'll hold :-(

Just a USB cable.

Only a clip on. Otherwise no

I have to try this. Thanks!

Some people say that this didn't work for them.

I couldn't get this feature to work either.

I didn’t want KZfaq to take down the video so I played non copyright music.

Yes, you did.

@@n2rj dang ;(

It’s the usb speaker

@@n2rj oh haha. handy :) have a nice day

Sorry I don’t speak Hindi. You can use the translate on KZfaq.

Has to do with the USB port. Use the radio as a card reader and even a usb speaker

@@n2rj It's a USB 1 speed reader ! You're better off with a $1 Dollar Shop card reader !

@@edwardfletcher7790 true but it works in a pinch, if you have nothing else.
