Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who notes that he has published a review of the Tivdio V-115 on his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dave’s conclusion? This little receiver is a “Decent Low Cost Pocket Set<\/em>.” I would whole-heartedly agree. I mean, this little radio is widely available on\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0eBay<\/a>\u00a0for around $19.00 \u2013 25.00 US including<\/em> shipping!<\/strong>\u00a0 About as inexpensive as a radio gets.<\/p>\n

Though you pay for what you get, with the\u00a0Tivdio V-115 (a.k.a. Audiomax SRW-710S), you get a lot more radio than you would expect for the price.<\/p>\n

Listening to the BBC Midwinter Broadcast on June 21, 2017 in Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p><\/div>\n

In terms of performance, the V-115 isn’t on par with even the venerable ($40-50)\u00a0Tecsun PL-310ET<\/a>\u00a0(in my opinion).<\/p>\n

However, the V-115 has decent off-air recording capabilities and is more sensitive than anything else in its price range that I’ve reviewed (despite internally-generated noise). I receive numerous inquiries from SWLs in India who seek a $20-30 receiver–the V-115 may be a good choice for those on a very tight budget.<\/p>\n

But Dave’s review goes into great detail about the V-115’s quirks, performance and overall usability. I encourage you to read it before making a purchase decision.<\/p>\n
