The Raddy RE40 is another portable shortwave radio offering from Radioddity, but with a twist \u2013 it is intended to be an emergency radio first, and a listening-for-pleasure radio second. In this review I will cover the emergency options incorporated into the unit, as well as discuss operability and its overall functionality as a radio.<\/p>\n

As always when I do a radio review, I will point out what I believe are the radio\u2019s strengths and weaknesses, as well as where this might fit in your radio arsenal. The usual disclaimer applies for any product I review \u2013 I tell it like it is, good or bad. While the radio was provided to me without cost by Radioddity, that does not affect my opinions one iota. With that out of the way, let\u2019s get into the meat and potatoes of the rig!<\/p>\n

As we have come to expect from other Raddy portables, this has a lot of features packed into a relatively small package. I say \u201crelatively small\u201d because it is thicker than many vertical portables, and heavier. This is a solid bit of kit, and the size and weight are the first clue that this radio is not just intended to sit on a coffee table. It is definitely designed to work outdoors, as well as finding a place in the car or boat for when you need to check on the weather, or be out in it.<\/p>\n
