Thank you!

I absolutely agree. He is honest and not any shill for his sponsors. Josh is a HAM radio community Treasure! The sponsors should be thrilled to have him on board.

[@benjosevilla]

Great review, can you please compare this with the RF75A. It has Bluetooth and app which I think is interesting but on paper it does not have uhf/wx/air. It would be great to know if it performs at par with the 760. Thanks

[@Dhspat]

Just received my RADDY RF760 in the mail. My last shortwave radio was a GRUNDIG YB 500 back in the 90s. It’s charging now but I’m very excited. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Thanks for the very informative video.

[@Spike_-rx7bx]

What's your thoughts? Love it, hate it, would get something else?

[@godfellas483]

The tiny antenna tip as I understand it, is made to flex. It is solid and not hollow. If it does bend, it can be bent back into shape. A flexible antenna is less likely to be bent...

[@maikerumine]

Great review! I just got one the other day and didn't look at the manual, it was a bit confusing at first but once figured out, it works like a charm. Yes, it is not the best radio, however having the ability to scan and listen to ALL DA RADIO WAVEZ just like that made it a winner for me. I found the built-in antenna is just fine for WX, AIR, VHF, and UHF, but lacked in SW. I feel this radio is a great one to have if you needed to have a variety in a pinch. I don't regret buying it.

[@monotech20.14]

What would you think is the better radio the Raddy RF760 ,Retekess TR110 or the tecsun pl-360

[@chartphred1]

Thanks for the review. Looks very close to a radio that I'd buy. But for me, what I really want is a radio that can do the normal AM/FM domestic freqs, but also Airband, CB and yeah maybe shortwave etc, but to be able to store them as scanning channels for quick access. That radio is trying to be a jack of all trades, but master of none. Yr skywave looks good too.

You have to fine tune SSB on radios like that! He needed to change the step to very fine like .01 step and go up and down they work well if you fine tune. I have a Tecsun PL-330 and if I go to super fine steps and fine tune it works nice on SSB. Same thing for this radio. He was trying to tune SSB at 1khz steps!! Not going to work like that.

[@nomadbill]

You’re not even prepared to make a video when you don’t know how to tune it properly you’re putting a video up that affects consumers and hobbies alike with a misinformed opinion and poor procedure

[@josephhager1933]

As a shortwave listener being able to tune weather frequencies and hear the space station on 2 meters and potentially get sstv images is pretty huge in one little radio and energy requirements look pretty low(charge up with a backpacker's solar panel)?and hear local 2 meter repeaters? May have to give it a try.thanks so much great video

[@normanhill535]

AM, FM, shortwave, and VHF & UHF scanner in one radio, for about $100. Great size. My gold standard is the ICOM R-6 though a bit too much spectrum. Oh, the BL-5C battery is common online.

[@willmoran1871]

who else is taking a brake form field day to watch ham radio you tube

[@normanhill535]

Tecsun external LW MW antenna will trigger LW. VHF UHF band continuous 30-520 MHz. Fair MW reception with internal antenna. Ok on shortwave, air band and FM, and weather band. Nice for $ 100-125.

[@povertyspec9651]

It has the good old Nokia 3310 battery. It's a battery is still used in Nokia's 2g phones that Russia and China still use today.

[@radellaf]

SSB is buggy: fine tune up and down and it’ll be different depending on which direction you’re tuning. VHF UHF kinda need squelch. not just air…

[@dave7ization]

yeah they're a bit off freq. on ssb, so u gotta fine tune them right onto the audio with the last two digits...which they will do...in a 'clarifier' way.... they work really well

[@joeframo3347]

Hey Josh good morning I'm real curious about this radio to watch your video I think it's very cool for being so small 👍

[@tomperone9338]

I just bought a little Lijiani RD 239 that has the same kind of ridiculously dainty upper antenna element. Luckily, it has a 3.5mm external antenna jack on the back, so my Sangean reel antenna plugs right in. I've been eyeballing this little Raddy as well.

[@normanhill535]

BL5C battery is long established and stable battery.

[@malcolmlewis3239]

There is an old adage, “There is no such thing as a perfect radio, there is always a compromise.” Add a bfo, fix the bandwidth issues, add some front end filtering and you would have a better radio, but probably it would cost twice as much.

[@Dusty_Ham]

I honestly thought that was a mini HRCC sticker on the front until you showed the closeup lol

[@Not_SatoruGojo]

It has CW and WFM modulation indicators on display, but they are never used. FM band uses only stereo/mono indicators, SW uses AM, LSB, SSB (Which is USB) but no CW Is there WFM mode for VHF/UHF bands and CW for SW or this in unused indicators?

[@DonzLockz]

I does pretty good for it's size. Depends what the user is after.

[@CoolBlue87GT]

Check the connector on the long wave antenna, it had a "stereo" plug, the antenna you were using had a mono plug. I wonder if that antenna would make a difference in reception? Not sure why an antenna would have a "stereo" plug. Maybe test the external antenna that came in the box, let us know if it made a difference. Thanks

[@F4LDT-Alain]

Interesting review. My own experience with its rebranded clone the Retekess TR-110 is extremely disappointing. It's not cheap, I expected way more from this radio. It's completely deaf in my urban environment with FM transmitters around. Another radio at half its price does infinitely better, especially on the air band. SW is mediocre too.

[@mikearmstrong9899]

Thanx for the GP7 comparison.

Wide “Frequence” Scanner Radio 😁

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

emphasis on WIDE LOL

[@JrGoonior]

I have this and the County Comm GP-7. For it's size, it does a whole lot, not well, and tuning can take a little practice, but it does work. The GP-7 doesn't have the frequency coverage of this but it is easier to tune SSB and also has AM sync, which seems to work OK, it's not as good as my Icom R75, but it works.

[@capt2026]

It appears that the battery is a “remove and replace” so extra batteries with a charger may be a good prepper option.

[@ojjenkins7110]

I see the 2 small zeros. does it have 10 cycle steps in ssb? Cute little DSP radio.

[@6643bear]

Great video, great little radio, love to order one . Regards mark

[@fenech97]

It seems to have the word 'frequenc' instead of frequency at the top of the screen. Surely they could have printed it correctly. Still, a great radio though.

[@fernandoscrenci3895]

The only thing with this radio, if the att was working correctly in a better setting, it would stop the overload of signals that's happening!!

[@n1kkri]

If it has a DX position turn it off. It might help reduce the sensitivity and prevent overloading it with your external antenna

[@n1kkri]

At $19.99 this might be OK. Other than FM broadcast it was pretty poor. I missed what your shortwave antenna was. It was clearly overloading the receiver. The internal antenna wasn't cutting it and the external antenna overloaded it. If it had a DX switch I would turn it off and might reduce the sensitivity to prevent overload. Despite the size and freq coverage it really didn't do any frequency well

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

It wasn’t in dx for most of the video.

[@n1kkri]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse wow. then that radio is pretty bad

[@normanhill535]

Can toggle between MW steps 9khz and 10khz using tuning buttons and side dial.

[@Dave_N2OA]

Maybe the SSB wasn't working because of the local AM broadcast overwhelming the front end. I wonder if it would work from a different location. - N2OA

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

It’s possible, even likely. But that won’t help the audio out the speaker.

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Thinking the Countrycomm GP-7 may be the winner... I have a Tecsun PL-660 but it is showing its age and is a AA battery pig!

[@stevedoom]

Josh - I've had this radio for a bit and found that it is off frequency on Shortwave, especially on SSB. Try playing with the frequency a bit until it's clear. Unfortunately like some better Shortwave radios, you can't frequency calibrate :( Outside of that, I carry this everywhere.

[@fernandoscrenci3895]

The tune slider on the side of the Radio , does help with ssb !! Still a very good radio to have !!

Hi Josh Great video I wouldn't buy it. The bleeding over frequency is a deal killer. For the same reason no government agency's will allow baefeng radios on site. What handheld transceiver has the best wideband scanner? Cheers 🍻

[@bruhmoment4378]

In terms of transceivers, the Yaesu FT-60 has 144/430 transmit and 108-999mhz receive, AM or FM. It is my favorite and most reliable handheld. However, if you are alright with a receiver, check out the Alinco DJ-x11. It has a much wider range and can be plugged into a computer to be used as an SDR.

1 quick idea that i think a lot of ppl don't think about (even the manufacturer) ..... if someone wants this to pack away for their SHTF packs, i wonder if it would pick up better during a blackout event? Would it pick up better if "everything" was off because the grid is down and most electronics are off and not giving off RFI coming into it from all directions? i dont' know, just an idea.

[@madmax2069]

It's actually a rebadged hanrongda hrd-747 which you can probably find for a bit cheaper than $100. And even then it's not worth the price. Too many oversights, and too many issues.

[@MrKeys57]

Why didnt you put the attentuator to local on the 760? - and if you put the radio to SW it will work with SSB on CB too. - i have no problems on the AIR band with it, and it stores up to 1000 channels which is quite a bit. - i have the HanrongDa 747, but there seems not to be any significant differences between them. as i understand - of course it cannot be compared to bigger and more expensive receivers, but one gets a pretty good bang for the buck in a pocket sized radio. greets, Levi in Sweden

[@billr55]

That seems weird that the CB can only do am or FM. Couldn't I just use the HF band and go to the frequency and use Lower Side Band?

[@kd5inm]

Josh, The antenna that is included with it is a trs plug, three connections. The plug you used had a tip and ring, only 2 connections. Perhaps your antenna is shorting something out, that could cause bad results. Try using the included antenna when doing a review. What works with the GP-7 doesn't mean it works with the Raddy.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

It’s not shorting anything out. Just because their is a trs doesn’t mean it needs one.

[@kd5inm]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse I think you should have used the antenna that came with the Raddy in addition to show folks how it works with the supplied parts. Perhaps it does affect the results. I don't think it was a fair review not atleast trying to use the supplied antenna. Ask yourself why they would use a trs plug when a tip and ring plug would supposedly work and be cheaper than a trs plug? I think there is a reason it has a trs plug.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

@@kd5inm I fundamentally disagree. The TRS here isn't the issue. It was giving the radio a much better antenna was overloading it. DO you not want to know if a radio is apt to overload?

[@kd5inm]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse if that was the case why didn't you use the antenna that came with it? You didn't even give it a try. Most people are not going to have the same antenna you have outside, and the same conditions but I would guess that the included antenna they sent with it out of the thousands they made to include with the Raddy would all be pretty well matched and the same, and would give different or even better results than you got with your outside antenna. You seem pretty close minded to revisiting this review with the included antenna and giving it another try. What are you afraid of? Being wrong about something? How about you send me the Raddy and I will investigate it and make a video. If my findings say you are correct in saying its overloaded I will say so. I'm not afraid to say I am wrong. I just think you weren't fair in your review. I will pay for shipping it.

[@timkeene2717]

Hey Josh, I noticed the second time you checked out HF you had the attenuator on NORMAL instead of DX. When in DX it is probably overdriving the RX. Maybe you can check the video again and try testing a bit more. But for sure after seeing your review I would not purchase that rig......Thanks Tim - K5DEZ

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

What should I be reviewing again? I have tried it on Local, Normal and DX. It still have the same issues.

[@timkeene2717]

At the beginning of the video the first time you went to HF the attenuator was on DX....which to me means Max RF gain. Later in the video the attenuator was on Normal so the SSB audio sounds a little bit better. My guess is the receiver was getting swamped out with too much gain while in DX and an outside antenna. I have an old Grundig G6 Aviator that acts pretty much the same way once it is connected to an outside antenna. It seems to work OK when it is on the little telescopic whip. Just my observation/opinion with the little radio I own....for what it is worth. Lemme know what you find out or think.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

@@timkeene2717 Yes, I understand now what you were trying to say. There were two main issues I saw with the RADDY. The Overload/selectivity and then the audio quality on SW/SSB. The later never improved no matter what the gain was at.

Not being from Chicago myself. And never really looking into that, unique event. The technical questions I have not asked. Is the WLS and WTTW transmitter's. At the same site? Or are they on opposite sides of town? And what was the time difference between the first WLS, break in. Followed by the later WTTW hi Jack? These are some of the details I am not fully knowledgeable of. And where the, impersonator may have been located? Because the microwave link has to be very straight path line of sight. And within a few miles. And whoever's swamps the receiver with their signal, wins! And is on the air. Like they did. And to this day. They don't know who done it? I think it was fabulous! A piece of American history! Starring and impersonator of Max Headroom! It couldn't have been better. And the ass smacking was, precious. I suspect that was whoever's on the screen playing Max. I think that may have been his daughter smacking daddy in the ass with a flyswatter? Or maybe just a Dwarf, girlfriend? We will never know. But it sure was funny. It seemed very, drug-induced, to me. I mean I fully believe. It was somebody like myself. You come home from the TV station. You drink some beer. You play some rock 'n' roll with your friends. You smoke some pot. And hey. Let's turn on this transmitter. At see if we can have some fun? Hey look there we are on the TV! It works! Better turn it off now before we get caught. And they did. Never to surface again. So it was somebody like me. Working for one of the TV stations. You bring that, broken microwave transmitter home. To tackle what is wrong with it? And you finally get it to work. You think it's working? But you need to test it. I know! Max Headroom! It may have been somebody like me working for a station. Who just fixed that microwave transmitter. It was simply testing it. At first the audio didn't work. But then he fixed the audio. And it was successful! And he had a great time doing it. And a fun story to tell his friends. And don't ever tell anybody it was me! No it really wasn't me. I wish it had been me. Because I was working for NBC. And I was like… You mean I could do that also? Just take one of those blown, microwave video transmitter's home. And find the best station to aim it at. Yee ha! Woo hoo! Yabaddabadoo! I could take my clothes off! And as long as they can't see my face? Nobody at my station. Will know I did that to the other station. Ha ha ha ha! Ha! And that's truly what I think.. That went, down. It takes one to know one. As they say. I felt a certain connection with that news event.Yes. I feel like I know who did it. Without knowing who it is. I'd like to think. It was someone. Who has had some business with both, WLS and WTTW, both. And one of the reasons they were able to, break into their signals. Into their transmitter's. As I believe this was done from the same location. I think it could have been an inside job. Perhaps an engineer that worked at one or both stations? Or has friends who do. And weasel important data from them both? Who knows? It was one of those very benign lawbreakers. Kind of like a streaker but not a streaker. But a streaker type, nevertheless. Especially with the ass whippin'. That was so funny. And so not, pornographic either. I mean this is comedy, parody. These are a few, very high, drunks. I mean he can't really even talk he is so inebriated. And his friend does not have to hold the camera steady by any means. Because he can't. It's going through some, $2500, tabletop, Panasonic, Video Switcher. Or another brand. Because I personally own 2. From 2 different manufacturers. Both well-known. And that's all you need and a single camera. And then you have a background effects track of video. You just keep looping over and over again. And you insert that behind him. And it's cheap 1980s video animation. Sort of.. It's really a piece of corrugated metal, panel. With a strong sidelight and being rotated around. And it was a great recreation. If I do say so myself. And I do. It was perfect. For what it was. Whatever that was, is? As I am not quite clear on the message they were trying to actually send? From their planet. Yes and so we have always wondered. How will we be contacted by extraterrestrial aliens? Yeah likely not on 2 Meters. But you never know? At least I have, Numerous NOAA Weather Radio Stations to tune into. There's a bunch down here. I think I can pick up at least 4? And on my President McKinley, CB Radio. And/or my, Yaesu Radio, is it? Something like that? And then also a little cube, Radio Idiocy, mobile transceiver. And this ICON 705 thingy? And 3 sophisticated looking walkie-talkies. And he no sooner got these. And dropped dead, 9 months ago. At 64. And neither of us had any children, of our own in our marriages. Hymn 1. Me 2 marriages. When my husband of 22 years. Died suddenly. 9 years ago. I have not been the same since. Half of me died with him. I hate Texas to death. I can hardly wait to leave. But mom is almost 100. I have to wait for her exit, first. And I really don't want to. I really can't. I am not safe in Texas. I get to do absolutely nothing, in Texas. Due to Texans. I hate the home hatched ones. I hate Greg Abbott. I hate Dan Patrick. I hate Ken Paxton. They are not Americans. They are guttersnipe scumbag Nazis. And nothing more. And everything less. They have blood on their hands. They have literally, tried to kill me. They are not Americans. And now they won't let me out of Texas. I'm being held here against my will. Do to their attack, assault, beating and robbery. Of all of my life's most important paperwork and ID. All of my ID of my entire life. In my most precious memories of my late husband. They have physically stolen from me. Aided and abetted by officer McKee and officer Blackwood of the San Marcos, Texas, PD. That arrested me at my own brick-and-mortar recording studio after I was assaulted, attacked. By Nathan Parnell a psychopath. And one of my, 5 other business partners. I did not know Nathan Parnell was a psychopath and a grifter. As we had known each other for a couple and 1/2 years. Helping each other out. And then he did this thing to me. That got me arrested at my own brick-and-mortar recording studio. When he calls the cops on me at my studio. And tells them some crazy woman is trying to steal his stuff. And the cops come over and beat me up and arrest me. And hand him all of my most important paperwork of my entire life to him. And he is now destroyed it all. And they will not arrest him. Because if they do. They will be admitting their guilt of what they did to me. And I will sue them for millions of dollars.. They have had this happen before. They have lost before. Because they are criminally incompetent and very corrupt. Because they are now covering up what they have done to me. Telling me all of my personal effects were my hallucination, never existed and case closed! As I had filed a Formal Complaint with the Chief of Police. Who is now also in on this. And he is no longer with the force. And has been replaced. And I can't get a lawyer to represent me. I've been told it is unwinnable. While I am a, disabled, handicapped, senior citizen, widow. Nobody cares. I can get no justice. I cannot regain my life that has been stolen from me. I have no ID. I can sign nothing. I can get on no transportation. No buses, trains, planes. My expired passport was also stolen. With everything else. The police did this to me. I would have regained my stuff from Nathan Parnell. But the police stopped me and handed it to him. Talk about a Constitutional Violation? It was all of them! They destroyed my life! My business! My retirement savings! All of my contacts throughout my entire life! My family members, my friends, my colleagues, my business associates, my business contacts. Everything! All stolen from me. By these felonious maniacs! At my recording studio.

I've also had one for a week and it has very poor reception in UHF/VHF and WX. Don't buy this scanner!!!

[@Micotech1]

Not for me, this one...

[@dxace1]

Way off on SSB, screen too hard to read. Exactly the HRD-747, no difference. This has a long way to go before it's worth even the low price they're being sold for.

Contact. It does nothing well. Your going to compare that to the skywave sub. I don't get it. Wide band nothing.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

… yes, because that is what we do, we compare things to other things to know which ones are better. Or to show a juxtaposition to what a quality product looks/sounds like.

No thank you

[@joeframo3347]

I don't like the cheap bag that it comes in why couldn't give it a nice case that it would fit in like the sky wave I'm totally disappointed in that radio thank you Josh you save me $100 👍

[@sammyboyde6489]

If you tune around, off freq, you can get the ssb better. Just because the op is running on 7.150, try either side and you might be surprised. Not exactly an accurate receiver.

You're afraid to say outright when something's not working. Single Side Band, SSB, doesn't work on your radio. A few of Amazon reviewers said that SSB doesn't work on their radios; the other reviewers probably didn't understand SSB so didn't mention it. But after those reviews and your video, I think it's clear the Raddy Marketing is lying about the radio having SSB capabilities. I agree that it would be a crying shame to have to return this radio because one of it's alleged features doesn't exist. Raddiodity has the habit of selling fist-generation radios that have missing features that were used as selling points, and then a couple of years later, the next generation of a similar product works a lot better. So, they're breaking into the consumer pocket-shortwave-radio market, consistent with their tradition of selling a half-working radio for its first generation. I think it's a lesson well learned. When Raddiodity introduces a half-broken foray into a new market, reviewers should say clearly that this is a half-broken experiment, and save your bucks for their next update, or whatever current, similar product has proven to be a properly working device.
