FYI, the printing on the box is Japanese😀, and you found a Japanese station while you were tuning around on SW, thanks for the review!

[@NTPTM]

Hej Todderbert nice I'm up bright and early today thanks for the video i will watch your video later on my TV interesting radio it looks the same as the Sayin SY-8801 which I love will definitely check your video and I would like to buy another one like the Sayin SY-8801 radio wonderful radio with a lovely speaker take care Todderbert have nice evening.

[@ericdumptee9084]

what a nice radio, Only a few stations left on the SW bands nowadays, very good review !

[@jgstevens5169]

Thank you Todd for introducing the "Hi Hi" 😉 I would easily consider this radio for camping trips, instead of taking a more expensive shortwave. Looking forward to one of your MW scans.

[@todderbert]

Identical AM reception as the Sayin SY-8801: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pILQdqyOhZWpmcU Day, kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5LVfHyjfJiEr5I Evening.

nice review

[@samkam4984]

Very good radio.... Good reception...good sound...geat tuning....good looking and good price.....so much fun

[@cygnusrider]

I have one of these. FM is great. AM is pretty good with a passive loop. SW definitely needs an external antenna to pick up much of anything.

[@RippingJack76]

I really like this guy. But I would have to sell two of the radios I already have in order to make room for this in the RV.

[@todderbert]

Something my Wife would suggest I do :)

[@normanhill535]

Bought a Prunus J-125. Quite good on AM. Great FM reception with small antenna. Did you review this radio? Stay safe and healthy.

[@eddiedowning2571]

Just got mine from Amazon I'm in Connecticut and just picked 1090am wbal Baltimore Maryland comes in like local station

[@marjla]

That radio blasted me out of my house. 🤣🤣

[@alceu121]

Alo Mr Todd, I am waiting that you analyse retekess tr629 sw band

[@gsr4535]

That's Japanese katakana script on the box top. Katakana is used to "mimic" foreign (non-Japanese words, usually in English).

[@craignehring]

Cool, shortwave too ! Is the bass more pronounced when the radio is lifted off the table?

[@todderbert]

The Bass on this radio is good.

[@billmcgovern2290]

I think it would be fun when opening the box you "discovered" an Iron Man deck of cards.

[@kevinbeck6419]

I have it an love it I got for 16 dallors

[@Yesterday5656]

My experience with this radio as far as reception goes was not good and regretted spending even the little money that it cost. You are much better spending more on at least the Tecsun PL 310 or RadioWow/Sihuadon R108

[@MikeM22]

Thank you, looking into that radio!

[@rayjohn5709]

I just bought one onebay that loks just like this one but it dint say hi hi it says fm am dsb radio and it dont have shortwave

[@todderbert]

There was a version without shortwave, the Sayin SY-8801.

[@rayjohn5709]

@@todderbert this one has no name but it looks exactly like yours and says fm am dsp radio

[@normanhill535]

Oh, the Prunus J-125 cost me $35.

[@ToddHa]

American Rock music on 5025Khz Cuba? Radio Rebelde. That is weird.

[@r0naldzuccala198]

Hello well thinking about The hi hi. My Best 2u.
