Overall, the Raddy RF757 Offers a Ton of Features to Explore. It may not be the best Radio out there, and that is why I give it a "Maybe" Recommendation. The Qodosen DX-286, Tecsun PL-330, and the Sihuadon R-108 are Great Tuner Radios. The RF757 has the Fun Factor Down in Portable Radio Tech, it just needs to refine its Tuner Skills to become the Best.

This little radio has an admirable sound! Clean and detailed. The radio transmits the entire width of the audio band. Smooth highs, precise mids and pleasant bass. I own a collection of 30 portable digital radios, but none have such excellent sound!

[@NTPTM]

HejTodderbert thanks for the review of the Raddy RF-757 it's a nice radio, and I've been considering buying it, but maybe it would be best to wait for an upgraded version. Also, there are a few things that should be fixed, like the headphone jack you mentioned in the video, and things like the lack of bandwidth filters. Otherwise, it seems like a pretty nice radio. I own the Qodosen DX-286, and it's a radio that I love. It's a real performer on all bands. And Todderbert, wow! I am very happy with the Prunus J-167 FM/AM/SW radio that just arrived. I have upgraded the built-in battery to a Nitecore NL1410 1000mAh Rechargeable 14500 Battery. There will be a lot of radio time for me now. A rain storm is coming; it will rain for a week. Take care and have a nice night in Chicago.

Hi Todderbert. I have the Hanrongda HRD 757. I like the green light background on those ones.The am on mine is the same on the gain controller. Hopefully they will do a firmware update for that. Other then those flaws, it is a really cool radio. Thanks for sharing. Take care as always. 😊

[@kevinbeck6419]

Im in WNC an your radio reviews came in handy after the storm

[@lew9223]

Raddy make some nice gadgets, a feature that stands out is the audio quality, it's very good. I have the little RF-750 & take it when out fishing, brilliant little radio. Good review, thanks.

[@MrSparks54]

I like the form factor on this vs the RF-320. I might have to get the 757 for camping, road trips, etc. Thanks Todd!

[@mi777ke777]

They should make one of these with a small screen to watch digital tv signals too.

[@todderbert]

I believe we are on that path.

[@karlwaller7337]

The clean design of the RF757 far outstrips the Elementary school SciFy, can't take it seriously, design on the RF320.

[@todderbert]

Many don't like the toyish design of the 320. I actually enjoy mine :) but now I have the grown up version with some extra bells and whistles.

[@jamesslick4790]

There is a PDF download of the manual ( I just downloaded it.) In a quick look at it, it seems that the SD (TF) card player has a random (shuffle) function! Most radios that can play from cards lack this VITAL function. Along with the rest of the specs and the price, I will certainly get one! This seems like the ultimate radio to take to work with me!

[@walleyvideo8297]

I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. However, I would like to know things like, can I use the numeric keys to select from thousands of track numbers using the MP3 player?

[@todderbert]

Not sure on the thousands, but it will work for a few hundred.

[@richardfranciscone3392]

Would like a bit more info on the VHF/UHF reception on this unit. Thanks

[@todderbert]

It is good, but a handheld scanner may be better. I was getting faint signals with no issues on the 757, but the squelch isn't great. No adjustable threshold, and a gain control that is slow acting when in use.

[@fredhinck9685]

Got one on order to relace my XH data 109 wb. This one has more features

[@saxpert]

The design looks a bit like a Sony. I miss SSB and I don't like the "pumping" while switching the frequency. My Xhdata D808 does the same but it has ssb for an equal price.

[@davidconte-zu1ki]

Because I’m blind, I’m having trouble with the newer radio models, but if the app works with voiceover, this might be perfect for me

[@todderbert]

They need to add that. Choyong is doing that with their radios, but it isn't perfect yet.

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

Very nice radio 📻. Ya can even get shortwave, and DX on it, too. Am I correct that this is only $69.99? Your friend, Jeff.

[@todderbert]

It may go sale for Prime Days as well.

[@Tusker2zero2]

I went through the link provided and it said $84 after an 11% discount. Question... Can you power on the radio from the phone app by chance? [Edit: Interesting... The price changed to $69 once I signed into my account. So, that may be the issue for others as well.]

[@todderbert]

When connected you can turn the radio on with the app. Just know that the radio uses power while being in this standby mode. The screen stays on.

[@PhillyBosoxFan]

Just checked Amazon and it shows $69.99

[@Jaxon1776]

Maybe if it goes on sale for $50

[@Canopus44]

so do you recommend getting the RF757 if you already have the RF320? Is there that much of an upgrade?

[@todderbert]

Depends, UHF is nice. Direct Recording on the Radio, and a Numeric Keypad makes things easier. I have both, and use them differently. One for BT, the other for SW. Though I could switch that around, but the audio on the 320 is strong :)

[@Canopus44]

@@todderbert cool! thanks for the input!

[@supermaestro67]

excelent!

[@chriswideman1218]

Raddy must be jealous of C.Crane and the rest. But no Single Side Band on this one. Im waiting on the DTV audio band

[@todderbert]

I'll be there will be a similar radio released next year with SSB. Everyone wants it. The price climbs a bit because of the extra circuit. They will definitely need to add some BW options then.

[@huntercarver1851]

R-108 has a special something

[@ManuelPinner]

must have Single Side Band, or is not Good,

[@huntercarver1851]

Not true

[@blue2824]

You must be smoking crack 🤣

[@PanamaUfo]

damn dude, you say 69 , and amazon is 100 box...damn

[@todderbert]

Prime Days...retailers start to adjust prices to bring them back down to give you the illusion of an awesome deal :)

[@momosgarage]

Does it have any sideband capability?

[@OnAirVoice]

He said no at the beginning

[@Kreemerz]

Aircraft?

[@Kreemerz]

Ooh yes it does

[@markr.1984]

Amazing how those folks east of the Rockies can get SW so well. I have much better antennas that the plain wire he has that came with the radio and I get next to nothing except hams here in Utah. Very few broadcast stations and when I do get a station, it's too weak to be readable. This is why I have to have SSB, otherwise I'd never hear much. Too bad, hams are a bit boring sometimes, talking about tuning their 40 meter antennas and such. Oh well!!

[@oldfarmshow]

👍

[@MediaExpressUSA]

👀 PLEASE: Can someone compare this Raddy RF757 to Retekess TR110

[@go0ot]

Lots of faulty display screen images on 1* reviews online

[@todderbert]

Might have been a bad run? I have two units with flawless screens.
