The CC Skywave<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who writes:<\/p>\n

Just FYI, for those who may have missed this :<\/p>\n

My light reviews on the CCrane Skywave and Retekess TR604 (AM\/FM only set), are now posted on my web page. These are the first 2 reviews on this page :<\/p>\n

Also have updated my V-115 \/ V115 review. New test sample with the latest 1.4 firmware.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the update, Dave. In your review you note the virtues of the Tivdio\/Retekess V-115 (a.k.a. Audiomax SRW-710S<\/a>) as an mp3 player. That’s how I’ve been using my unit as of late. It makes for a nice portable player with reasonable audio. The last time I traveled to Quebec for a couple months, I used this rig to make a few off-air recordings of my favorite FM radio program: “C’est si bon<\/em>” with Claude Saucier<\/a>. I only recently re-discovered these recordings on the MicroSD card in my radio and have been enjoying listening to them since.<\/p>\n

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

I also recommend the V-115 as a very affordable radio that can record off-air broadcasts. As we’ve also mentioned in past reviews–and as Dave notes–it has some issues with internally-generated noises, etc. but for the price it’s hard to complain. It’s currently $24.99 shipped on Amazon (affiliate link)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
