Raddy RF750 Plus AM\/FM\/SW\/NOAA Radio<\/h1>\n

by Mario Filippi<\/strong><\/p>\n

I purchased one of these tiny radios several months ago. It’s my daily go-to AM broadcast band\u00a0 radio.\u00a0 So far, it performs excellently on AM.\u00a0 Using the rotatable ferrite antenna,\u00a0 I’ve received stations as far away as Chicago and Detroit at night.\u00a0 FM broadcast band capability is also excellent in my experience for such a small radio.\u00a0 As for SW, the only luck I’ve had is with powerful broadcasters when the Raddy’s telescoping antenna is connected to an outdoor ham antenna.\u00a0 It receives local NOAA WX as good as any other radio I’ve owned.<\/p>\n

Raddy 750 Plus<\/p><\/div>\n

The case is all metal, feels nice and hefty in the hand.\u00a0 A shade under a half-pound in weight. 3 3\/4 inches high (approx. 9 cm) with attached rotatable antenna.\u00a0 \u00a0The speaker size is exceptional for such a small radio and the audio’s very acceptable to the ear.\u00a0 The speaker grill can be used to tune the radio manually by the way. The fit and finish are excellent.\u00a0 Has a rechargeable battery with included USB charging cord.\u00a0 Excellently-written 25-page owner’s manual in English.<\/p>\n

?I use the Raddy app to control the radio.\u00a0 You can opt not to use it though.\u00a0 You’ll definitely need to read the manual then, due to the plethora of options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Raddy\u2019s SmartPhone App Works Great<\/p><\/div>\n

All said, since I bought this radio mainly for daily AM broadcast reception and occasionally checking NOAA weather, I’m very pleased.\u00a0 Price is very reasonable, mine was under $40 at the time.<\/p>\n

Wonder if anyone else has one of these radios and what their opinion is?\u00a0 Thanks for reading and 73’s.<\/p>\n

You can purchase the Raddy RF750 on Amazon.com<\/a> or at Radioddity.com<\/a> (affiliate links<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
