Raddy RE40 Portable Shortwave Radio FM/AM/SW/WB Receiver, 4000mAh Retro Emergency Radio with BT/USB/TF and NOAA Alerts, Pocket Radio with USB-C Rechargeable

Cool radio with a nice sound. As far as FM and AM go, picks them up great. Even shortwave comes in good and strong, even better if you connect a wire to the end. This radio has a good receiver for the price. If you are into shortwave, just be aware that this radio does not pick up side band. If you do not know what that is, then you probably do not need to worry about it. So if you are interested in picking up ham radio communications, then this is not the radio for you. But if you want to try picking up short wave radio stations from far away lands, this radio will do that, but it depends on location and your antenna. Using the built in antenna in your home will not work that great. But you can buy an inexpensive antenna (or expensive active antenna) and this radio really shines. But I love the fact that I can charge it with the sun, which it works perfectly, or a hand crank.

FM AM SW WB multi- 10 band Short Wave receiver, with telescopic antenna, compass on volume knob, a flashlight with SOS siren & signal. A top is a 4 button band, mode, light, "music" switch. Back and side is a 3 way charge with 2 amp USB, solar charge, or hand power generator with a 4000 MAH battery & USB port for charging other devices. 3 position side selector switch for selecting function as a Radio, a Blue Tooth Speaker, or TF Card for "music". Also on back is a 3 position SOS, normal operation, & charge selector switch. With play, forward, reverse buttons when using a TF Card. Rotary tune knob with back light display and circuit protection, plus a carrying strap. Great Sound & Ultra Light & Portable! Add a short wave antenna that simply clips to the telescopic antenna for even better reception without extending the telescopic antenna "Not included". Although I believe it was suppose to be included. A ton of great features for such small hand held device!

I have a home based emergency radio station that is fine with me , but had my portable emergency radio stolen from me over the summer. So I decided I try and find something better and I believe that this is it. My other radio had digital tuner and would miss weather band am/fm station that this one doesn’t miss. This can also be tuned in digital if you choose. However I like how you can go through 7 bands of shortwave and catch stations I didn’t know was there.

I would give this radio 5 stars but for two reasons: 1) The output is monaural. WTH? Even my 40 year-old cassette player is in stereo. 2) There is no marking on the volume dial to indicate what the level is at. Otherwise, it's an excellent radio.

Small, compact and worked as described.

I bouth this radio, and used ut for about a week. It worked verywell in that short time and I verymuch enjoyed the speaker and radio quality. However after switching from Bluetooth to Radio the RE 40 screen froze and has been stuck Unresponsive for 2 days. There is no emergency shut off, holding the power button does nothing because the radio isn't processing any inputs. nothing will respond. You cannot use the flashlight, SOS, or any other system possibly until the battery has fully died and the radio can be charged and hard rebooted. In this state It is a small, green brick with a small red light with no other functionality. I am beyond disappointed, I very much liked using this radio, but not being able do do anything once the unit has frozen itself means it it completely unreliable. I do not know if letting the battry die will even solve this issue or even how long that might take as all it is doing is powering a single red light.

Bought this for when the electric grid goes down and it will soon. Better to have it and not need it to need it and not have it. Price was right, sound is okay, it's compact and fits perfectly in my hand. Easy-to-use. Looks like decent quality.

This is a must have in your survival pack, no matter the weather; tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or fires. You can wind it for power when your electricity goes out to still get updates on your local emergency. Easy to use and ultra functionality. Very small and lightweight for easy packing in your survival backpack.
