RetekessTR111 Shortwave Radio, Pocket Radio with Bluetooth, AM FM SW VHF WB Radio with APP Control, TF, Clock, Alarm, Sleep Timer, SOS, Flashlight

CONS:Disappointingly smallThe THIN, FRAGILE antennaBluetooth volume is different from the other modesPROS:LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE.So long as you're aware of the CON'S, you'll be STUNNED by the PRO'S.It has GREAT reception of FM, AM, Weather, and the other bands it supports. The sound is far clearer than other "emergency" radios at this price point and under.The speaker has a surprising about of BASS, for such a tiny little micro-pocket-radio. It actually startled me with how loud it was!Operation is easy to figure out, right out of the box.There's even a phone app that allows you to control the radio. I didn't see the need, but it's a bonus if you want that.

GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!! The size and design is perfect . Great sound and easy to us . Only problem is I wish the battery would last longer. But that is minor and it does last several hours . Anyway, I just love it and would highly recommend at this point in time. still new , so anything can happen

Started out well. Sound quality was decent for as small as it is. Good variety of features. Started glitching recently. The clock keeps losing time, the back light flashes when turning it off, and it loses an excessive amount of battery when off. Overall, I do not recommend it.

At least five companies sell this radio in different colors. Some come with more accessories like a case, clip on wire antenna and earbuds, but the Retekess just came with a carrying strap, type C charging cable a small cleaning brush and a small screw driver to remove the battery panel even though the Retekess version doesn't have a removable battery. I caught mine on a double discount that dropped the price by 33% which helps me overlook some of the shortcomings of this radio. This is a complicated little radio and probably not good for a beginner. It does come with a good manual if you are already fairly familiar with multi band radio jargon. The speaker sounds good and gets louder than you'd expect from a small radio. FM and AM sensitivity is not bad at all. Shortwave however is plagued with annoying birdies to the point you will avoid SW listening and opt for a better radio. Weather band works fine. I didn't try Air or VHF. Bluetooth sometimes worked, sometimes it does't pair, and you have to remove it off my phone and reinstall so not. I had to return mine because the antenna wouldn't extend all the way out. Two sections were hopelessly stuck in the down position and the antenna is already one of the thinnest and needlessly fragile antenna I've ever seen on a radio. I wouldn't recommend this radio to a kid because it's overly complicated to operate and that flimsy antenna is likely to be broken in short order. Ironically, I got it mainly because it reminded me of a radio I had as a kid. If you think you want one wait until you get a good discount and enjoy it for what it is.

I love this little radio. However, be aware that there are quality control issues.The first unit I was sent was defective in two major respects:1. The battery was either defective or disconnected and would neither charge nor operate the radio.2. there was no reception whatsoever on the shortwave band, even with an external antenna connected—No stations at all. Apparently, the whip antenna was improperly connected internally.I returned the defective unit, and the replacement works just fine: impressive shortwave reception, room-filling sound from a tiny radio, and a fabulous Bluetooth app that allows one to seamlessly tune and control the unit remotely from across the room.In other words, someone has finally created a remote control for shortwave radio! Wonder of wonders! If only there were more to listen to on SW these days.
