The expression is "pass muster", not mustard! It is military in origin.

That doesn't even make any sense! you should do some research then come back and apologize to my viewers for misleading them.

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

I can't stop laughing at the Liberty Safes meme in the background. Whatever is on that display every episode is usually hilarious.

[@LatitudeSky]

One of the good things about living near a major, major target for WWIII is that I do not have to worry at all about surviving such a war. No SHTF gear. No radios that will probably get EMPd anyway. None of that matters here. Not only will the enemy flatten this area repeatedly, our own side and allies and are also likely to hit it just to ensure it is kept out of enemy hands.

[@RisingTidesAC]

But what is you are somebody like me that constantly has this black cloud following them? I will survive a nuclear attack even if I am ground zero. I am the one that will survive to live amongst the mutants and radioactive gigantic sized cock roaches. That is why I will be purchasing the Retekess TR111. I will need that sd card slot to listen to mp3's while the rest of the world is a radioactive wasteland.

[@antonmoric1469]

Some might call you cynical, but I'd call you a fellow realist. And for the record, instant vaporization involves far less suffering than living a brutish, nightmarish life for a few extra months trying to survive after an all-out nuclear exchange.

[@SmurfHunter]

Can I give you money to come live there? Quick and hasty flattening sounds ideal compared to all this shit the states are doing to prep.

I absolutely LOVE the chewed pencil pointer. And the very fluid hand motions. Great presentation! Bravo!

[@Rebellion1776]

I think your getting a solid little shortwave radio, with a few nice little features, for $55. Nice to throw in a pack, or a coat pocket on the move.

[@TheMisterNebo]

What's most amazing is that amongst the pun and sarcasm, you actually still are able to do a review - I hope you found some great feet my friend :)

Every time I see your pencil I can't help but chuckle. lol

That was a highly impressive lightly chewed on pointing instrument. So appropriate coming for you. Loved it...

[@robertcowley1894]

I purchased a ATS-20+ receiver having FM AM (MW & SW) with a rechargeable Battery for $76.00 from Amazon. I am using a Long wire 100 ft copper wire antenna for better reception. Works great and picks up all kinds of SW broadcasting. It is portable and can go anywhere.

[@matthaft2048]

I have the “Radioddity” branded model and I honestly love it. Mine did come with all the previously mentioned stuff plus a pair of earbuds and a clip on antenna extender.

That's a cool little radio. That phone app seems pretty nice and responsive. Be a good radio to keep in a bug out bag. Just ordered ordered one from your affiliate link and Amazon had a coupon too so that's a win. Can't wait to try it out. Used to love listening to shortwave as a kid. I'd fall asleep to the Atomic clock.

[@Crippledinvegas]

Great video review . I'm new to the world of shortwave and learning everything I can by watching videos and subscribing to Shortwave accounts on the X app. I ordered a portable radio to keep on hand to get me through power outages. The one I had went through hell and has deseases. Anyway, the new AM/FM radio I ordered also has shortwave " Retekess TR629". Can't wait to tinker with it .

This Retekess radio is the same radio as my Raddy radio. These radios can definitely pass mustard, (but not gas). Thanks to its tiny size, it is my new travel companion.

[@fitybux4664]

I was just looking at a "Toddler Radio". Looking at FCC docs, it is fixed to FRS channel 1 and has a picture of Paw Patrol on it. 😆 I'd imagine the FCC death squad will be around soon to tell anyone using this Paw Patrol radio what they can and can't do. (Come on, this is perfect April Fools material, I'd hope it at least gets stored up for that. 😆)

You know....I saw the other video about that giant SW radio...and really debated buying it...but honestly don't have much use for something so large.

Don't forget to check the license conditions for your country before using the wrist strap.

[@jamesparker437]

also, be sure to check for restrictions on antenna length for juveniles under 18

[@markdewey5412923331]

WOW - I very much appreciate your caring nature and respect for “SOMEPEOPLE” ! As usual I appreciate the hand modeling you did with the wrist strap. It is a real shame you had that injury! I can not tell what you are pointing to with the people chewed pencil but I did notice the length of the hidden antenna a quarter wave id say since I am an expert on antennas! The SOS button is a very nice feature in an emergency SHTF situation but, I could see some problems with that! There are quit a few Morton’s that might think you use it to TUNE the radio. I want both but I don’t want to be STUPID?? Although the small radio does BT to my phone I think my phone has to be charged to use it? 🤓🧐🤔

Cool lil pocket radio. These are cool for chore things, car repair, dishes, toilet rebuild and floor mount un fraudifying previous install, ect. Clear, talk or music, but not a subwoofer suitcase that will overpower 10% thinking processor. That Eton, that is the IC-705 for shyhams. The traditional meter, and ssb, with squelch.

If people don't need a physical radio they can also get an SDR dongle which will plug into their computer and do the same thing for less than $500 as well. The SDRPlay RSP1A is only $119 - a great deal for what it does.

I have that "$500" radio. Didn't cost me that much, almost less then half, but I've also used some smaller HF radios. The 750 is my goto when after a couple of beers, I want to sit out on the back porch and copy some CW. One feature is a must is a BFO. But cool little radio.

The apps on the phone caused me to pause and laugh for many minutes. I then perused the comments section to see just how many "some people" expressed outrage instead of admiration. I was pleased to find much adoration.
