The Best Radio I've Ever Reviewed Got Even Better. The Choyong LC90 Gets Better Every Day
Рет қаралды 10,721
Күн бұрынThe first video I put out on this radio a few months back got some backlash. Mostly centered around the radios lack of general 1-30mhz coverage and a lack of SSB mode.
While I felt that these are nice features, I was still please with my radio. Well, a few months have past and wow, the engineers over at Choyong stayed busy. First they added general coverage from .1 to 30mhz, then they added SSB modes to hear all the Ham coverstations. Then they updated the internet radio side of things, then they added voice search, now they have removed an issue with some of their radios that apparently caused harmonics on certain freqs. While I never had an issue with it, apparently they wanted it fixed, so they fixed it!
They also made a lot of minor updates to try and improve the AM reception, witch I find to be it's only real weakness. While still not a performer on that band, it sure is a changed radio.
I loved it when it first came out, and with these updates, I love it enough to have gone out and bought a second one with my own money. The truth is, there is no other radio out there like it at any price. The internet radio side is a constant gift of new and random stations that no regular radio could ever hope to receive.
I love it. If you are interested in getting one, here is the link:

Congratulations , I've already had the radio for a month and I'm really enjoying it, because I enjoy listening to FM where ATS has programmed 42 stations in my region and I enjoy listening to internet stations, where here in Brazil alone more than 300 online radio stations have opened. I highlight the audio quality, the sound on FM and the Internet is wonderful, it's a pleasure to listen to. My interest is FM and online radio, where the LC 90 is excellent, innovative.

You need to test that SIM card feature for us, that has some potential for being a game changer and I have never seen that in a radio. And the hart button is something I like if it is a one button press to add whatever I am tuned to to a favorites list. And can you add podcasts? Can it provide a menu of podcast episodes to choose from if provided a link? Podcasts are to radio what KZfaq is to tv.

I enjoyed both your reviews of this radio Eric and I agree with you, it is a great radio. They do have a mini version and I’ve heard rumblings of an LC100 rolling out soon. I would like to see the LC90 with a kickstand, separate bass & treble, keypad entry for search, an adjustable display for brightness so at night it doesn’t disturb my wife’s sleep, better coordination on the display especially when you switch bands and tune with the knob, and yeah better AM but like you that’s why I like the Internet side to get those stations on the stream. I have a sim in mine and it works great! And I would love to have a tabletop version of this radio. Keep up the good reviews NC!

A “birdie” is an internally generated frequency within the circuitry that will present itself as you manualy tune or use the search function, by showing up as a strong yet quiet signal at various places along the frequency range, with no data on that frequency. Some radio’s and particularly scanners can have many, a few or none. Try a KZfaq search on what is a radio birdie.

Interesting. Either my two units didn't have the issue, or it was so minor that it never bothered me while listening. Whatever the case, apparently they cured the issue with the 4.5 software update. Makes me wonder what other radios I own that have this issue. I am fairly deaf (80% one ear, 60% in the other) so perhaps that is why I don't notice it?

There is probably a school of radio enthusiasts who just love traditional radio and really don't consider internet radio to be real radio. I recently bought a radio and decided to go with the Tecsun PL-880. It's a terrific radio with very few shortcomings and does just what I want it to do. I did consider the LC90 in this decision, but I just didn't feel that the LC90 is a solid performer on the traditional radio end for my needs. Not having a radio stand and a logical location for the radio jacks is also a deal killer. I wanted a radio that would be very useful during times of emergency by being independent of the internet and cell towers. Though SSB is popular with ham operators, there is more on SSB than just hams. You can also pull in aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), ships at sea, military, spy network, clandestine, and pirate transmissions. Occasionally some shortwave broadcast stations use SSB as well. The LC90 is a nice beginning for an integrated radio. It can only get better and may someday be a radio I want to own. I would also like to see a base station radio in the future. For now it may be better to own two radios, a solid internet radio and a solid traditional radio until a better integrated radio is made.

They are really missing the boat on Internet Radio. It's the KZfaq of radio. Anyone can broadcast for free and reach a worldwide audience. I've been "On the Air" since late 1999 and still enjoy it to this day. So many channels out there and those don't include all the smaller mom and pop AM stations scattered around the USA that I would never be able to hear over the air. It's what sold me on this radio and it's why I continue to feel it's the best radio I've reviewed.

I do have one issue with playing certain internet stations. Some stations load quick and show no loading time, and begin to play, and every 10 seconds it buffers. It seems to be with certain stations. One station that does it is WAXQ 104.3 in New York. I wonder if it’s doing that with anyone else’s. I appreciate any input. I did update to the latest 4.5 firmware.
@FarpointFarms 6 күн бұрын
As someone who broadcasts on ShoutCast. I can tell you that issue is from the source. The stations that have longer load times and buffering are usually suffering from one of two things. 1st is too high a bit rate. If they try to send out CD quality sound to many listeners it bogs down the connection. 2nd. Too low of a internet connection. The faster the connection speed they have, the faster they can get a station sent to your device. For my tiny station the solution was to lower the bit rate to a very low setting and I changed it to mono. Now? No more buffering and almost instant connection. You can reach out to the stations that are buffering and see if they are aware of the issue.

I don’t think hate is the right word, it’s easy to bang about haters these days and this seems to have got a little personal for you. Since the old days of Sony and others being involved with portable radios the market has been quiet for decades. China has awoken to the wants of people for radios today so we are going through a phase of almost reinventing the portable world -band receiver again with new technology. Unfortunately the fundamental point is still radio reception so of course consumers want better and cheaply made radios with birdies and other issues should be pointed out so that the manufacturer can do better. We’ve had great radios in the past so there has been a benchmark set so why do we have to accept less? Manufacturers need to try harder to make better products and we should not accept ‘it will do”. Of course there needs to be a cheaper-end product as consumers can’t always pay the price. Myself I have the Qodosen SR-286 BUT it will never be a replacement for my JRC NRD-535DG, the Qodosen is what it is a little portable radio not in the same league as a professional receiver.

Comments like "Your not qualified to review radios" and "You don't know anything about radios". These are garbage and were deleted as they are totally uncalled for. I make videos for people interested in products. If they are not, I assume they were raised well enough to know that they should just move on, but some apparently were not.

They can negatively comment only if they can roll their own radio... Or fix or improve them.

People just complain to hear themselves talk. The world is full of troll who are happiest when they put down others. I try to let them be- the ones who get to bad, I will ban from commenting, epically when they start putting down others.

Seems like an impressive example of a general coverage receiver. I think I must have one. However, I can't resist the fun of poking the trolls of a certain age... Apologies for it being on your KZfaq contribution. I'll try to make it short. You may not be a man if... You have not braved the dangers of the plate B+ Or tasted or felt the fire of the plate B+ Or worked in a cabinet with a defeated power interlock, in the presence of the live plate B+ Or tinkered with your grandparents vacuum tube table radio. All with respect to the humble radio. 😎😎🙏🙏

Yes! The update is available on their website. You download it and install it via the USB charging cable.

Are you sure that's a sim card lot and not a micro sd slot for playing mp3 files or recording?

Yes, it has both a sim card slot and a micro SD card.

I cant upgrade the firmware from 4.0
@FarpointFarms Күн бұрын
You can! You'll need to insert a Micro SD card in it first. Not sure why, but it was needed up until version 4.3

I can’t understand why anyone would want a shortwave receiver or transceiver without sideband.
@FarpointFarms 11 күн бұрын
For non-ham users (99.7% of users) SSB is not a feature they want or need. No commercial shortwave stations broadcast on sideband, nor do AM for FM stations. That said, for the .3% of us that complained, Choyong added full band coverage and SSB modes.

@@FarpointFarms I really love my sideband so I can listen to the hurricane net , those hams on 10 meters and freebanders north of 11 meters from my home in Michigan. Radio is a hobby of discovery and I don’t like being on the outside looking in.

choyong lc90 vs xhdata d-808
@FarpointFarms Күн бұрын
Depends on your needs. The LC90 wins as it can get the internet stations and that really opens up the channel list! for reception the XHdata 808 wins.
