Retekess TR635 Portable Digital Radio, AM FM Shortwave Radios

RETEKESS TR 635 AM FM SW Radio. This is a great sounding high quality radio. A keeper. I like the way the controls behave. LED Backlight only comes on when changing a station, then goes out a few seconds later, leaving the LCD on to show station frequency. Changing the radio volume does not make backlight come on. When the radio is off it displays the time with your choice of am/pm or 24 hour format. Has hi/low tone control switch. Volume control suits my needs from nightstand radio to room filling sound. ATS automatic presets are a nice feature with quick forward/backward buttons to access station presets. Backlight, which is on for only a few seconds after changing stations, does not seem to affect reception. AM band is in 10 khz step for USA market. I tried AM band scan a couple of times with great results. SW and FM seem fine as well. No keypad here, but buttons and tuning knob work well enough to get the stations I wanted. Can stations be manually added or deleted? SW coverage 2.30 Mhz to 21.19 Mhz The radio came to me in a plastic bag with AC power cord and nothing else. No manual or instructions sheet, but I really didn't need it.

I gave this radio 5 stars for what it was and what it costs. I realize there are much better radios out there with many more features but for the 30 bucks I spent I got a large radio with substantial weight, which I love as it doesn't fall over when I jiggle the table, It has a great FM sound and I can get shortwave on a 100 foot antenna very well. No, I cannot enter frequencies directly from a number pad or save stations that I choose with out scanning but...30 bucks!

I bought this radio because of the Retekess brand name I have other Retekess equipment and they are top shelf quality. I wish I could say the same for this radio. Advertised as having best reception and excellent sound quality. Neither is true. I live in a metro area with stations ever few Khz on the dial. This radio picks up at best 10 FM stations, and the sound is distorted with constant popping noises. My OEM car radio is better. I tried to return it, but spent the entire day going from one DHL store to another. Each one said that they didn't accept prepaid shipping invoices and sent me to another store. Got the same story at 6 DHL stores. Finally gave up in disgust. JUNK !!!

I have had this radio for about 2 months. It seems to work well and has good sound. Overall I think it's quite good. I do agree with others that the volume control is unnecessarily touchy. When turning on the radio you turn the volume control to the right. There is an annoying delay before any sound is heard which causes you to turn the volume up unnecessarily High initially. Also small changes in the rotation of the volume knob produces large changes in volume. I find this annoying every time I use the radio and I wonder why the volume control is arranged as it is. It is also easy to bump the knob as it is so large and then it takes some time to get to a volume you like again.

I listen to the AM band on a regular basis, it works great for my needs. For talk radio it's good because the voices are strong and clear. I can't vouch for how good the FM band is since I don't use it. Also I don't use the shortwave feature either, so I don't know about that.

I've put this radio beside a top tier Sangean with "great reception" and a RCA Superadio III with "best reception." At my house this radio has the cleanest signal on both AM and FM. I haven't even tried shortwave, as no one is currently broadcasting on shortwave. The speaker is big and sounds great, whether listening to news and podcasts or music. I'm getting an FM station from 60 miles away that is perfectly clear. Function is easy and excellent. I can't comment on battery life as I use the AC adapter most of the time.

Volume dial is not the best. Good radio but the volume is loud or cannot hear it. Too much ply in the dial for satisfactory use unless want to wake up the whole house or listen to quiet white noise

I ordered this radio to replace one that I keep in my garage. I put it on a talk station, playing loudly, to deter squirrels and other critters. Given the price of this radio, I wasn't expecting hi-fi sound -- but this radio has excellent sound, precise tuning and is easy to use. It does better than other radios in its price class at picking up radio stations. I am not sure that the squirrels really care that much about the sound quality, but unlike the previous radio I had been using, this one is actually a pleasure to hear when I happen to be out in the garage.

Som excelente, qto as estações , fiz uma "cola" com o nr delas , no próprio aparelho.
