Raddy RF760 Portable SSB Shortwave Radio Receiver, NOAA Alert | Full band AM/FM/SW/CB/VHF/UHF/AIR, rechargeable, earphone jack, 9.7ft wire antenna

This is a great option for a small, portable, backup shortwave radio. You can cycle through many parts of the spectrum and is highly flexible. The quality is medium range and the sound quality is acceptable for what it is. It is quite small and light and comes with a little bag with a drawstring for storage. I have a portable SDR as my main receiver and I got this to first tinker with and learn some about radio. I used it to listen to CB, shortwave, AM, and weather successfully.My only complaint is the location of the power button which is easy to turn the device on while it is in it's storage bag by accident.

Raddy RF760I am giving this radio 5 stars based on this:_Extreme frequency range including SSB (Single Side Band) for Amateur Radio._VHF/UHF for GMRS, FRS, Amateur Radio & public service (police, fire, etc)_User Definable Band - any lower/upper in 30Mhz - 520Mhz range_External antenna jack_External earphone jack for FM stereo._Built-in battery (replaceable) and USB-C charging._Ability to continuously display signal strength and signal/noise ratio_Very readable amber backlit display._Plenty of memories - 100 per band_Ergonomics. This radio is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand and you can operate almost all the controls with your thumb.For about $60 you can get a small portable radio that can “do it all”This radio will not replace a radio dedicated to a specific radio service but at this price point it’s “good enough” in a pinch.With variable bandwidths, fine tuning and ability to do LSB/USB it can pick up amateur radio on the SW bands (search “Amateur Radio Band Plan” to find out where and “Amateur Radio HF Nets” for schedules and frequencies)Of course it does well on the traditional broadcast bands on MW and FMVHF/UHF can get you GMRS, FRS, Amateur Radio, and Public Service (police, fire, etc) with 100 memories. Check out radioreference dot com for frequencies)One additional feature is the ability to create a user defined band (for auto scan and store) in the range 30Mhz-520Mhz. So, if you just want to listen to the amateur radio 2 meter band you can custom define this band with the limits of 144Mhz-148Mhz.Bottom line, for about $60 you get the whole shebang that is “good enough” at this price point.

UPDATE:I purchased another one of these from a different vendor. The price has dropped to nearly half of the original cost. I discovered that there at least 4 different versions of this radio, manufacturered by one company HanRongDa, and branded by Raddy, Retekess, and HRD. The newest version contains a MOSFET preamplifier between the antenna and mixer. The newest version works quite well as long as you don't attach a long outdoor antenna. The sensitivity is quite good, but this set can be overloaded due to poor dynamic range. That said, it is a technological marvel with no less than 2 Receiver chips and a DSP chip. I discovered that using the headphones it improves reception. I love the little set, but I don't recommend it if it's going to be your only radio for listening to shortwave.ORIGINAL REVIEW:This little receiver is pretty cool, but has its drawbacks. The sensitivity below about 5 mHz is pretty poor. The Menus are difficult to see and hard to navigate. It's much more sensitive on the Upper Shortwave Bands, CB Band, and on the VHF/UHF Bands. Where I can clearly receive CHU on 3.30 mHz on my Tecsun PL-330, using the built-in Whip Antennas, they're not audible on the Raddy. The Scanning Features on the Raddy work quite well. But programming the frequencies into memory is not straightforward. The one big plus is the wide range of coverage in such a small package. Oh, and as other Reviewers have noted, the end of the built-in Whip Antenna is hair thin and easily breakable. I'm 71 and have been a Radio Enthusiast since grade school. I've owned literally hundreds of radio receivers in my life. I wound up returning the Raddy and purchased a Vintage Hammarlund HQ-180A to restore. That's a laugh because the Raddy weighs onces and the Hammarlund weighs 60 pounds! 73, KG7M

Works fine as a local AM/FM broadcast and WX radio. If that's all you need, I'm sure there are better, cheaper, easier to use options though. It probably also works okay as a shortwave AM radio when conditions are good and you can receive those signals. It is very small, which is a plus. Since it is so compact and does those things well enough, I gave it three stars. It could be useful in an emergency and it small enough to pack away.It's pretty terrible for SSB or VHF/UHF ham bands. The SSB filtering is awful. Even when I am receiving S9+ signals on my ham shack radio or my portable radio with just a wire antenna, this thing is deaf to them. On VHF/UHF frequencies you're stuck with NFM. There doesn't seem to be a way to force it into WFM mode. We have a VHF repeater in our area at 1700ft on a local TV station tower that you can pickup with a $20 handheld and the stock rubber duck antenna nearly 60 miles out. I live about 30 miles from it. This radio senses the signal, but you can't hear anything on it.I do not recommend this radio for SSB or VHF/UHF amateur radio frequency use. Get something else. I also wouldn't recommend it as an SW/AM/FM/WX radio because it's too expensive for that purpose and it's not the easiest thing to use.

SW Band has serious bleed over from local MW (AM) stations making reception of the desired SW frequencies impossible. SSB function defective - no sound, no signal or even static and dual function not accessible in SET menu,Weather WX Band - strong stations produce excessive audio distortion making it difficult to understand spoken words & Air Band has the same problem.Manual says to change BW in WX however SET menu does not allow assess to BW in WX band.AM & FM function is average.Too bad - this radio sounds good on paper but misses the mark.In it's current state, it's far too expensive for just the average FM and AM pocket radio function.I've reached out to the seller with these issues.I'll update my review if I receive another unit that functions better.

I've owned somewhere north of 100 shortwave radios over 60 years, so I'm an experienced listener. Based on the considerable negative commentary in Amazon reviews, I was somewhat hesitant to make a purchase, but the discounted price was about half of the price the RF760 when it was introduced in 2022, and I decided to give it a try.So let me cover the negatives first.The biggest negative is the sound quality from the speaker. It's tinny. Speech is understandable, but music of any genera is unpleasant to listen to. The headphone experience, however, is good. I didn't try the included earbuds (I have a big box of unused earbuds that come with radios) but rather some good headphones. There is no booming bass, but the midrange is good.The second negative is the complexity of operation. This unit has 8 bands, including a user-defined band. It allows step settings, bandwidth settings, attenuation settings, deemphasis settings and a squelch. It has upper and lower sideband decoding. It has a clock, alarm, sleep timer and a thermometer with display in F and C. It manages all that with a mere 11 buttons and a knob. With that said, basic reception is possible with what could be easily figured out for someone familiar with other radios.The third negative is the user manual, which is not the most helpful in places, and whose English is somewhat nonstandard. Just what is a "flying shuttle button"? There is a way to quickly tune to a specific frequency without number keys, but it's hidden in the manual in a mass of awkward English.The display is readable as far as the basic information, band, frequency, memory location and signal quality, but there are some setting items that are almost microscopic, and unless your close up vision exceeds 20-20, you will need a magnifying glass to see some of the things (that probably don't matter).In a radio this small it is inevitable that the telescopic antenna is thin and the user should take care not to bend it. One video I saw showed the antenna becoming loose, but I have not seen this so far. I would suggest a little silicone lubricant on the antenna. Others reported problems with the tuning knob that I have not seen either.I gave the radio 5 stars from the point of view of an experienced shortwave listener who wants a pocket radio that does everything, someone who has seen their share of bad translations from the Chinese. With such a small size plus weather alerts, it makes sense as a camping radio or a travel radio, and I was frankly surprised at how well it performs. It exceeded expectations.MW performance is necessarily poor because of the small size of the radio, limiting the size of the internal MW antenna, but with an external antenna, I got 10 times as many MW stations! And with an external antenna, the RF760 automatically adds longwave reception, shown in the video I included of a nondirectional beacon on 351 kHz. FM coverage is very good and I didn't see any signs of overloading. Shortwave is reasonable. Weather band reception is the best I have seen. Raddy includes a simple external wire antenna, giving a significant boost.The auto tune search (ATS) seems to work well, but there are only 100 storage locations per band (1000 total), and one might exceed that on shortwave with an antenna.I tried SSB reception on the 40 meter ham band. The biggest difficulty was the impenetrable language of the manual. If you ignore all the part about "2MIX" that apparently doesn't even exist, it makes a little more sense.My unit serial number started 2411, so I am speculating that it was manufactured in November of 2024, perhaps correcting issues with earlier runs.

I'm still figuring out how to make the various settings that I want to use, because the radio only gives you three secondsbetween keystrokes while changing just about any parameter, and some of them require a number of keystrokes. It is sometimes tedious to actually tune to a specific frequency. On the other hand this radio has awesome sensitivity and I am surprised at how well it picks up signals even with its little whip antenna, even on HF. I was copying CW on HF solidly without drift. It is really a whole lot of radio for the money. I'm sure I will be very happy with it once I can handle the settings and adjustments without the manual.

Small powerful radio. I was iffy about it, especially given how incredibly small it is. When compared to similar radios, it gets good reception and sound quality isnt bad. Lota of features. So why 2 stars?The small size doesnt leave room for many buttons, at least by their design choice, thua, the small number od buttons requires necessary but overly-complicated button mashing to use. Things like, having to press a button twice or hold it down, or in combo with other buttons, it gets compicated and difficult to remember which button mashing steps are needed to accomplish specific things. Youll always need to instruction manual with you and a magnifying glass due to the text on the instructions, but also the radio's display are too small. Other radios, I wont name, are much easier to use, understand and read. Ultimately its not very practical as a result.Finally, it loses most stars due you can never fully turn it off for some reason, and it randomly turns on by itself. Seriously, what the heck? So its not useful or reliable if it turns on, and power drains. Best to let it drain, then for sure itnwont be able to turn itswlf on again. Why is it doing this? Buttons seem fine so my guess is some kind of software glitch or electrical issue (not good). In fact, I think I hear it on again right no, ugh. What a same.

Goede , goedkope kleine ontvanger die “alles” ontvangt op de band.Gekocht om in mijn rugzak mee te nemen als ik ga wandelen.Zo groot als een spel kaarten.Leuk om altijd bij je te hebben om naar muziek , wereldontvangers , etc …te luisteren.Vervangt zeker niet een gespecialiseerde radio.

Zunächst : Ich habe mich ein wenig mit dem Thema Weltempfänger und Amateur Funk beschäftigt, kann also inzwischen beurteilen, ob das etwas taugt oder nicht.Dieses Mini Teil ist für seine Größe im Empfang hervorragend ausgestattet! :FM,AM mit LSB und Ssb, Flugfunk, CB Funk und VHF/UHF (PMR) sind zumindest laut Datenblatt vorhanden.CB und PMR etc ist wegen nur minimal vorhandenen aktiven Funkern hier in meiner gegen und überhaupt in Deutschland nur schwer zu testen.Allgemein gilt : Wer gut etwas verstehen will, sollte den beigelegten ohr hörer oder anderen Kopfhörer verwenden, denn der Lautsprecher ist natürlich auch klein... Und daher blechern mit wenig Frequenzbereich... War aber wegen des kleinen Lautsprechers zu erwarten.Kopfhörer Klang ist gut... FM in Stereo möglich. Klang detaillierter einstellen geht leider nicht.Der Empfang auf KW und MW ist erstaunlicherweise fast (!) so gut wie mit dem großen Malahit SDR... Super!Allerdings empfiehlt es sich, due filigrane bordeigene Auszieh Antenne nicht zu verwenden und besser über den 3,5mm Klinken Anschluss externe Antenne zu verwenden. Der Malahit hat mit seinem HiViz Anschluss hier noch die Nase vorn, da Donut Antennen mit Verstell rad für die Frequenz Bereiche hier echt noch Gewinn bringen.Flug Funk empfang ist gut, allerdings ohne effektiven Squelch Erfolg (obwohl 9 Stufen möglich sind, schluckt es alles an Stufe 1 und nur OFF ist Empfang möglich... Wenn nicht gesprochen wird rauscht es aber dann selbstverständlich.Ssb fkt einwandfrei, so ist auch Dwd Wetter Funk RTTY hut zu empfangen... Wird aber selbstverständlich nicht de kodiert, da kein SDR vorhanden ist (Mein Malahit macht das aber auch nicht... Warum nicht, konnte ich noch nicht rsusfinden)Zum Lieferumfang des Raddy ist angemessen:1 (Nokia Klon) Akku, USB Lade Kabel (ohne Netzteil), 3,5mm klinke Wurf Antenne (hab ich nicht probiert), Handschlaufe, deutsches und relativ ausführliches HandbuchInsgesamt ist dss, kleine Radio prima für Touren unterwegs oder im "Flucht Rucksack" für PrepperGehäuse ist aus Plastik, aber OK verarbeitet,, das Display ist scharf und Hintergrund beleuchtet,Due Taten exakt zu bedienen, allerdings nur ohne dicke Handschuhe.Bedienung aller gebotenen Funktionen erfordert definitiv das Studium der Anleitung... Inzuituv ist es nicht Man hat aber recht den Dreh raus.Eine Zehner Tastatur zur direkten frequenzen Eingabe vermisse ich ein wenig beim "Dixxen" . Das Radio ist dafür aber definitiv zu klein.Fazit :Einziger Mini Mini Weltempfänger mit externem Antennen Anschluß für guten Empfang.Gute Ausstattung im. Mini Format... Ideal für Touren mit wenig Platz für ein Radio.Der Preis von ca. 75€ ist günstig für das Gebotene... Volle Empfehlung (5 Sterne)

Ce petit RF760 est surprenant à tout point de vue. Je possède plusieurs récepteurs de trafic "ultra-portable", un Tecsun PL-368, un ATS200, un Raddy RF757 et je dois dire que ce RF760 est de loin le meilleur pour ce qui est de la sensibilité réception. Pas besoin de déployer l'antenne pour la réception FM en zone urbaine, le scan est rapide et ne manque aucun signal. Très large couverture fréquence dans les modes AM FM USB et LSB. Contrairement à ce qu'on peut lire dans d'autres commentaires, j'ai trouvé la prise en main relativement simple et pratique. A noter que le mode d'emploi est une traduction approximative du chinois en anglais, mais c'est compréhensible et on arrive à maitriser la bête assez facilement. La réception de la bande aviation est vraiment excellente. L'antenne intégrée est très fine, mais pas plus fragile, à mon avis, que n'importe quelle antenne de radio portable pour autant qu'on ne la manie comme un bourrin. La qualité du HP n'est pas terrible mais avec son format mini, le RF760 ne peut pas intégrer un HP plus gros, donc de meilleure qualité, ce HP est néanmoins largement suffisant pour une écoute tout-à fait satisfaisante de la voix, pour la musique, on peut toujours lui connecter un enceinte externe ou une paire d'écouteurs filaires. Avec une antenne long fil, la réception passe à un cran supérieur. en bref, je ne peux que recommander à 100% ce petit récepteur qui se glisse facilement dans n'importe quel EDC ou poche. Après en avoir testé un 1er, j'en ai acheté un second pour offrir à un proche.

Va muy bien

Buen receptor ,un poco complicado el funcionamiento ya que tiene muchas posibilidades
