Based on the considerable negative commentary in desertcart reviews, I was somewhat hesitant to make a purchase, but the discounted price was about half of the price the RF760 when it was introduced in 2022, and I decided to give it a try. So let me cover the negatives first. The biggest negative is the sound quality from the speaker. It's tinny. Speech is understandable, but music of any genera is unpleasant to listen to. The headphone experience, however, is good. I didn't try the included earbuds (I have a big box of unused earbuds that come with radios) but rather some good headphones. There is no booming bass, but the midrange is good. The second negative is the complexity of operation. This unit has 8 bands, including a user-defined band. It allows step settings, bandwidth settings, attenuation settings, deemphasis settings and a squelch. It has upper and lower sideband decoding. It has a clock, alarm, sleep timer and a thermometer with display in F and C. It manages all that with a mere 11 buttons and a knob. With that said, basic reception is possible with what could be easily figured out for someone familiar with other radios. The third negative is the user manual, which is not the most helpful in places, and whose English is somewhat nonstandard. Just what is a "flying shuttle button"? There is a way to quickly tune to a specific frequency without number keys, but it's hidden in the manual in a mass of awkward English. The display is readable as far as the basic information, band, frequency, memory location and signal quality, but there are some setting items that are almost microscopic, and unless your close up vision exceeds 20-20, you will need a magnifying glass to see some of the things (that probably don't matter). In a radio this small it is inevitable that the telescopic antenna is thin and the user should take care not to bend it. One video I saw showed the antenna becoming loose, but I have not seen this so far. I would suggest a little silicone lubricant on the antenna. Others reported problems with the tuning knob that I have not seen either. I gave the radio 5 stars from the point of view of an experienced shortwave listener who wants a pocket radio that does everything, someone who has seen their share of bad translations from the Chinese. With such a small size plus weather alerts, it makes sense as a camping radio or a travel radio, and I was frankly surprised at how well it performs. It exceeded expectations. MW performance is necessarily poor because of the small size of the radio, limiting the size of the internal MW antenna, but with an external antenna, I got 10 times as many MW stations! And with an external antenna, the RF760 automatically adds longwave reception, shown in the video I included of a nondirectional beacon on 351 kHz. FM coverage is very good and I didn't see any signs of overloading. Shortwave is reasonable. Weather band reception is the best I have seen. Raddy includes a simple external wire antenna, giving a significant boost. The auto tune search (ATS) seems to work well, but there are only 100 storage locations per band (1000 total), and one might exceed that on shortwave with an antenna. I tried SSB reception on the 40 meter ham band. The biggest difficulty was the impenetrable language of the manual. If you ignore all the part about "2MIX" that apparently doesn't even exist, it makes a little more sense. My unit serial number started 2411, so I am speculating that it was manufactured in November of 2024, perhaps correcting issues with earlier runs. Review: Good, With Caveats - UPDATE: I purchased another one of these from a different vendor. The price has dropped to nearly half of the original cost. I discovered that there at least 4 different versions of this radio, manufacturered by one company HanRongDa, and branded by Raddy, Retekess, and HRD. The newest version contains a MOSFET preamplifier between the antenna and mixer. The newest version works quite well as long as you don't attach a long outdoor antenna. The sensitivity is quite good, but this set can be overloaded due to poor dynamic range. That said, it is a technological marvel with no less than 2 Receiver chips and a DSP chip. I discovered that using the headphones it improves reception. I love the little set, but I don't recommend it if it's going to be your only radio for listening to shortwave. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This little receiver is pretty cool, but has its drawbacks. The sensitivity below about 5 mHz is pretty poor. The Menus are difficult to see and hard to navigate. It's much more sensitive on the Upper Shortwave Bands, CB Band, and on the VHF/UHF Bands. Where I can clearly receive CHU on 3.30 mHz on my Tecsun PL-330, using the built-in Whip Antennas, they're not audible on the Raddy. The Scanning Features on the Raddy work quite well. But programming the frequencies into memory is not straightforward. The one big plus is the wide range of coverage in such a small package. Oh, and as other Reviewers have noted, the end of the built-in Whip Antenna is hair thin and easily breakable. I'm 71 and have been a Radio Enthusiast since grade school. I've owned literally hundreds of radio receivers in my life. I wound up returning the Raddy and purchased a Vintage Hammarlund HQ-180A to restore. That's a laugh because the Raddy weighs onces and the Hammarlund weighs 60 pounds! 73, KG7M ## Features - Upgraded Raddy RF760: We added an adjustable bandwidth in SSB mode, an external 9.7ft wire antenna with a 3.5mm connector to improve SW reception, and upgraded sound quality for a better listening experience. It also includes NOAA broadcast and weather hazard alerts. - Full-band Radio with SSB: This tiny radio can receive AM, FM, CB, WX, and NOAA Weather bands plus Alert, Shortwave (2-30MHz) with Single Side Band and UHF, VHF, and VHF Aviation (Airband). Using SSB, the RF760 can reach long-range and pick up worldwide stations when internet or satellite is not available. - Ideal for SW Listeners! This radio allows fully automatic or manual search and storage of up to 700 stations. It also features a knob for fine-tuning stations, making it easy to select the exact channel you want. - EDC and Bug-Out Bags: The RF760 world band shortwave radio is surprisingly small and light. Its dimension are 4.4 x 2.4 x 0.8’’ while only weighing 0.46lbs. - Two 3.5mm Accessories: The RF760 comes with an earphone for private listening and a 9.7ft external wire antenna for more stable reception. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09XTJJ7RD | | Additional Features | Built-In SSB, Lightweight, Portable | | Antenna Location | Music, News, Sports Broadcast | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,496 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #151 in Portable Shortwave Radios | | Brand | Radioddity | | Built-In Media | Owner's Manual, with Earphone Jack and 9.7ft Wire Antenna | | Color | Grey | | Compatible Devices | Earphone | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 337 Reviews | | Display Technology | LCD | | Display Type | LCD | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency | 30 MHz | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 52.8"L x 9.6"W x 28.8"H | | Item Weight | 250 g | | Manufacturer | Raddy | | Mfr Part Number | 830049028 | | Model Number | RF760 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

For some days worked well, then FM went silence. Didn’t bother with it. Looks good. For me is not worth it. **Q: Hi sorry i forgot to mention that it comes with a usb cord but do i need an adapter as it comes from usa the voltage is different from usa to uk** A: They should send the proper adapter for the country that they're shipping the radio to. Regardless, I will bet that the adapter can handle 100 to 240 volts, and 50 hz or 60 hz doesn't matter. Check the small printing stamped on the side of the adapter to confirm the wide-input acceptance. If I'm right and the adapter can handle almost any input voltage / frequency, then all you need is a plug-adapter that contains no electronics, but only adapts the American plug to the UK plug. An adapter that converts voltage would cost over $50. An adapter that contains no electronics and doesn't convert voltage, but simply and only allows you to plug in your device overseas, would cost $5 or less. **Q: Is this the same radio as the Retekess TR110?** A: It sure looks like it. This little Raddy/Retekess is a great little radio. The telescoping antenna is tiny though. And by tiny, I mean very thin. You have to be very "dainty" with it. **Q: Have they fixed the ssb issue? not receiving ssb well or possibly not all others have mentioned, but i have not seen it mentione recently.** A: I really don't know. I haven't been able to get any SSB transmissions on it. Then again, I don't think there's anyone near me who transmits on SSB. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good performance, but weak speaker *by B***! on March 21, 2025* I've owned somewhere north of 100 shortwave radios over 60 years, so I'm an experienced listener.

It is sometimes tedious to actually tune to a specific frequency. On the other hand this radio has awesome sensitivity and I am surprised at how well it picks up signals even with its little whip antenna, even on HF. I was copying CW on HF solidly without drift. It is really a whole lot of radio for the money. I'm sure I will be very happy with it once I can handle the settings and adjustments without the manual. ## Frequently Bought Together - Raddy RF760 Portable SSB Shortwave Radio Receiver with NOAA Alert, Full Band AM/FM/SW/CB/VHF/UHF/WX/AIR, Battery Operated, Rechargeable Digital Radio with Earphone Jack and 9.7ft Wire Antenna - XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Reel Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception Suitable for FM SW Radio - XHDATA BL-5C Battery 3.7V 1500mAh Rechargeable Battery Large Capacity for Radio for Home with Current Protection (2 Pieces) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/444835680-raddy-rf760-portable-ssb-shortwave-radio-receiver-noaa-alert-full](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/444835680-raddy-rf760-portable-ssb-shortwave-radio-receiver-noaa-alert-full) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
