Vondior Weather Radio Whats inside

[@Radiowild]

Wow! Talk about 6 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound enclosure.... That solder glob was just a cheep RF shield. lol

[@TheRadiogeek]

It’s fully packed for sure. I bet the factory worker has about three seconds to make all the hand soldered connections before it get packed in the box.

Thank you for showing us inside this radio, I find it very fascinating, and beneficial on my decision to acquire this radio or not.

[@TheRadiogeek]

Glad you liked it. You just never know what you’re going to find inside a cheap radio.

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@bodemilan2954]

@Ariel Krew Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@bodemilan2954]

@Ariel Krew It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@arielkrew5450]

@Bode Milan no problem :)

[@45AMT]

Wow! Check out the solder blob!! Yeah they were slinging these out of the factory literately. :-)

[@TheRadiogeek]

Yeah slap it together and get it out the door. It’s no Zenith, that’s for sure.

[@VintageElectronicsGeek]

That is top notch quality! ~Jack, VEG

Only the best for my geeky friends. 😜

Can I suggest measuring power consumption in mili Amps (mA) when working on low volume ? So we can know how many hours will work ? For instance, if this radio draw 33 mA, with batteries AAA of 1000mA it will work at most 30 hours. I will also be interested in measuring standby current so i'll know how many days will work on clock. For instance, if it draws 100 uA (microAmp) it will work 10k hours wich means somwhere over one year (8760 hours) like a clock. Measuring is done in series with one battery with a multimeter. A cheap multimeter (10$ or so) should be enough. ps - i love these teardowns :)

[@TheRadiogeek]

I took some measurements for you. When the clock is on without the backlight is draws .095ma with the backlight it draws 11ma. With the radio on at a low volume and no backlight it draws 41.24ma. With the radio on low volume with the backlight on it draws 50ma. I hope you find this interesting and I’m glad you enjoy the tear down videos. Thanks for watching! 👍❤️📻

@@TheRadiogeek Many thanks ! So it will work a little over one day on low volume radio or a little over one year on clock with good alkalines. Good to know ! 👍

[@TheRadiogeek]

@@IAdryan you’re welcome, No problem.
