Unboxing and Demonstration of Radiwow R-108

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

I got radio Havana Cuba all the way in Southern California this Sunday! 📻👑

[@tvradio1972]

Cool!

[@andysrandomness]

I like how the speaker with the bass

[@tvradio1972]

Yes, it does have a good sound to it.

[@prestongaylor1232]

This is pretty cool indeed awesome sound quality for sure

[@tvradio1972]

It is. Thank you for watching and have a good night.

Before April, I will receive my ordered R-108 from AliExpress. Could you please add some videos on Airband of this radio? Thank you.

[@tvradio1972]

ALFREDO RONQUILLO I just uploaded a video with Air Traffic Control at 119.200 MHz on my channel. Thank you for watching.

Great review! I have a Radiwow R-108, too. One thing I noticed about my R-108 is that if I select AM from another band, the AM sensitivity is decreased. I have to turn off and then turn on the radio to increase the sensitivity. In addition, to a weak station sounding louder, the dbu level in the display is increased. Check your radio to see if it has the same characteristic for the AM.

[@tvradio1972]

dgordon12 I think you are right. I just tried that on a station and yes the signal is better after I turn off the radio and then back on. Thank you for watching.

[@jimsradiocheck936]

I'm thinking of buying that RADIO thanx for the review

[@tvradio1972]

james johnson Thank you Jim. I think the radio is worth getting. I’ll be doing a full review either in one video or multiple parts. I’m still undecided on that.

[@MrSparks54]

Very nice quick look, thanks!

[@tvradio1972]

MrSparks54 You’re welcome and thank you for watching.

[@jeffking4176]

This is one that I want. 📻🙂

[@tvradio1972]

Jeff King Then by all means go for it. I think this receiver is worth it.

[@eddiedowning2571]

Just ordered one from Amazon should have it this week

[@tvradio1972]

That's cool. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching and have a good night.

[@eddiedowning2571]

You to have a good night and keep the reviews coming

[@jonnyboat2]

Do you know how to remedy this problem? My usb power supply when plugged into my radio for power completely stops my radio from picking up stations on MW. If I unplug the usb power cord from the radio, and just use the internal battery for power, I pick up stations without interference. Is there a fix for that and what specifically would that be?

[@tvradio1972]

I only operate the R-108 on batteries. I don't use a USB power supply. It creates interference on the MW band. A 5 Volt Micro USB power adapter that includes a ferrite choke on the wire may solve the RFI issue, but I don't know where to get one.

[@jonnyboat2]

@@tvradio1972 What a co-inkydink. I just ordered 20 ferrite chokes of varying sizes on eBay for 15 bucks. I’m hoping that works.

[@tvradio1972]

@@jonnyboat2 If that doesn't work, you can also try this method. I found this on Radio Waves by Todderbert on Discord. He also has a KZbin channel you can check out. Here's his quote that I copied from Discord. "A CC Skywave AC Adapter Powering my Radiwow R-108 without the battery installed. No RFI on the MW band! Using a Mini USB to Micro USB adapter. The CC Skywave AC Adapter uses two ferrite chokes and is a Linear Type for Low Noise output. I also use this power setup for the MLA-30 MagLoop."

[@neilcampbell4833]

Can you use an older am radio along side radiwow to get SSB?

[@tvradio1972]

I don't know. I never tried that.

[@neilcampbell4833]

Usually you set the am radio to around 1300 MHz and the SW radio to 7100 MHz , the older am radios have an oscillator circuit in them I'm not sure if the chip in the radiwow would maybe block the signal . Lot's of people did it back in the day to get SSB.

Parece el fruto de los amoríos entre un Xhdata D-808 y un Tecsun PL 310ET. ¡Felicidades a los padres! Tengo ambos, esta noche dormirán juntos. Saludos

[@tvradio1972]

dx onda Thank you for watching. Have a good weekend.

[@420gramas7]

Hey, i wonder can you listen civil band with this receiver?

[@tvradio1972]

Civil band or do you mean Citizens Band (CB)? It receives CB stations around the 27 MHz frequencies.

[@420gramas7]

@@tvradio1972 Yes CB. Thank you i am looking to buy one from aliexpress. Tried to compare with similar price Tecsun PL-310ET but specs show that it goes only up to 21 MHz while Radiwow up to 29 MHz

[@tvradio1972]

@@420gramas7 You're welcome and thank you for watching.

[@Justin-qf7iw]

How good is the air band?

[@tvradio1972]

The air band on the R-108 is very good.

[@stephenwilliams5201]

Ps I have different places to roost. Hense I have several home made antenna. and batteries Packaged. All I have to do. bring radio.

[@tvradio1972]

Cool! That's being creative.

[@stephenwilliams5201]

Buy a bag of "gator" clamp. At RadioShack®. Or off the net. Buy a few. Won't go wrong. I like to save a few dollar making my own antennas. Say 3-5 meters is good.( A meter is roughly 40") good show de kv4li. Tks.

[@tvradio1972]

Thank you Stephen. That's some good advice. Have a good day.
