This radio really does a nice job of pulling out even weak low power daytime and distant am stations at night and makes them clear as if it's a local station. These radios have a digital tuning receiver chip and it seems to have an AGC circuit that kicks in to pull those weak stations better. Works very well and better than a conventional AM/FM radio even better than my car radio. A little tricky on the am tuning but especially at night it picks up a allot of weak stations. FM works very well. It is a great radio for emergency use or backup.

The Radio will not recognize the USB or SD card if the audio files are written to the wrong format type. To be able to use the USB and SD cards it is required that the format type be FAT32. This is NOT mentioned in the brief User Manual information delivered with the Radio. Limit the drive size to 16GB. MP3 files sound great! The sound and product quality is surprisingly GREAT for the price charged. It's Simple, yet it is solid.

The RETEKESS TR618 FM radio reception is better than my two Sangean tabletop AM/FM radios with external antennas. Those are great radios but the Retekess reception is better. I would like the finish, The knobs and the bright bits to be a little more high-quality. I would've been willing to pay more than that. The labeling for the tune dial is ridiculously abbreviated to "TUN." (I think they had room for one more letter:) So far I have not noticed the FM reception strength red light. Perhaps, I have confused this with another model? A military grade version of this radio would be nice. In addition to some type of rubberized armor, it could have a rechargeable battery, instead of a D battery, and maybe it would have a more robust FM antenna. The antenna mount on this radio is the same as almost every other radio. It will loosen with regular use. Highly recommended for value and FM reception power. Just do not expect that small, weak college radio station over the hill to come in:) For me, that would've been receiving KZSC 88.1 FM, the University of California Santa Cruz radio station, in the San Jose area.

I picked up this Retekess TR629 expecting “pretty good.” What I got was a straight-up workhorse. The reception on this thing is ridiculous. MW, FM, SW it doesn’t matter. I’m pulling in channels loud and clean, including shortwave stations I’ve never been able to catch on any of my other radios. I’ve got a whole lineup now that I didn’t even know existed. The interface is simple and actually pleasant to use. Big display, clear buttons, and a tuning knob that feels solid instead of cheap and loose like a lot of radios in this price range. It scans quickly, it saves channels easily, and switching between bands is instant. There’s no learning curve with this one you pick it up and you’re off. The speaker surprised me the most. Even at low volume this thing kicks. Bright, full and way louder than I expected. I almost wish it had a half-volume setting because the quietest notch is still punching. Definitely not a bad problem to have. The build quality is solid. Nice weight, strong handle, good antenna, and nothing feels flimsy. It feels like something that’s going to survive road trips, garages, and late-night shortwave hunts. The backlight is clean and easy on the eyes and the battery indicator actually works, which is rare in radios at this price. I picked this up to replace an old radio that struggled with AM and shortwave and I ended up getting something way better. I’m already hearing stations from across the world that my other radios never touched. This thing is going to live at work with me and it’s absolutely earning its spot. If you want a radio that punches way above its price tag, pulls in stations like it’s showing off, and is just flat out fun to use, this one’s it. I’m genuinely impressed.

I really like this radio. Simple and reliable. Tuning is with a large knob and not digital so you can fine tune. Digital is either on the station or off and no fine tuning. Speaker is loud and clear so you can work in the yard and hear over a good distance. Volume knob goes pretty loud without distortion. Just AM and FM, that's all I use or actually need. Uses cord or 4 batteries for power, like I am used to. My old 20 year old radio was similar and worked for years until the volume knob wore out. I hope to get 20 years out of this one too. I like my new radio.

Es un radio portátil muy completo, con funciones muy útiles, su tamaño es el adecuado para transportarlo por toda la casa; también me gusta la opción de conectarlo a la corriente eléctrica o utilizarlo con pilas, el sonido es aceptable y lo mejor para mi, que tiene la opción de grabar música o tus programas preferidos.

O rádio é excelente, capta bem as estações com som alto. Chegou antes da previsão. O único problema foi a tomada que não é compatível com o padrão brasileiro, mas com um adaptador ficou perfeito.

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

Som muito bom Sintonia digital muito boa Muito satisfeito com o produto.

Good Radio hai sound quality is good build quality is good 👍
