  • Sounds absolutely great. Very well built.
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
The media could not be loaded. Happy to see this type of radio being manufactured. The first one I bought and it works absolutely perfect. An absolute joy to learn how to use. The selectivity and sensitivity are amazing for a radio several times this cost. So far I've spent many hours enjoying the Radtel. Great to use alongside an online sdr shortwave like kiwisdr or using your own sdr based hf reciever to locate stations. In dense fm broadcast locations an fm band stop can be a good investment although the selectivity of this unit is excellent. Battery lasts a very long time. This is by far the coolest radio in my collection. Hit the add to cart or buy now button. You'll be so glad you did! ... show more

  • GMRS MURS MARINE CB(FM) transmit capable
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
Great radio , plenty of YouTube out there to learn , I gave 4 stars for value and functionality, I compared the reception in the MW/SW bands as well as 10-12m HF to my Quensheng TK11 the TK has better , much clearer receiver in the 10-12m range with a very specific resonance antenna. So RX could be better but price of this is great and I’ll live with it. I actually prefer the separate antenna for the HF RX side, I have yet to program with software but essentially everything can be done from radio. Hopefully these guys will create a QRP SSB 10-11M capable of transmit one of these days . Until the. The handheld receiver will have to do. ... show more

  • Great radio with many features!
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
This radio has many features that supplement the typical VHF/UHF radio, like its powerful programming abilities and many listening bands, e.g. air band. The negative for the radio is the poorly written manual, which makes the learning process very time consuming. Additionally, like many low cost ham radios, spurious emissions are problematic. Overall for the price, it's a nice radio. ... show more

  • Impossible to use.
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
Unless you are an expert in radios you will not be able to use this product. I wanted a handheld CB but I can find zero clear info on how to make it a CB, which is supposed to be a function. The youtube tutorials are useless because they are made by radio nerds who talk to fast and assume we know what they know about programming radios. It looks like a nice radio but I can't use it. ... show more

  • Nice radio, tough radio, easy to program radio.
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
Normally I don't say good things about a company's mistake. I ordered 2 RT 880 batteries from Radtels website but got 860's instead so instead of making it a big hassle I bought the Radtel RT 860 radio and was surprised by it now I actually like it maybe a happy accident.

  • Good ham HT and SW receiver
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
The media could not be loaded. For the price, it is a fun and very workable HT and SW receiver. It works very well on the VHF/UHF Ham bands and even about 1 watt on 220 MHZ. However it is only designed for the 2 meter and 440 bands. On Shortwave it works very well considering that it has a rather low grade receiver. I used the software and it worked well to establish the Frequency areas and specific bands. See You-tube for help. I recommend it and am pleased. de N9EGT ... show more

  • Cool Little Radio
Color: Without SW/MW Antennas
Cool little radio but it'll take a while to learn how to use it. The manual is mediocre at best. Be sure to order a programming cable because it doesn't come with one, Programming software and firmware are available at the factory website. I would advise you to save the factory configuration before making any changes. Because it isn't available on the website and firmware will not restore it. HF reception is pretty good. Much better than I thought it would be. A really good value for the price. ... show more
