Review: Radtel 860 an amazing handheld radio.! Best Hand-held radio I ever owned! - What a Great Radio but hard to program manually. In any case I use the passive loop antenna outside my apt overhang balcony. AM/SSB comes in good and SW comes in good. Have not tested all VHF/UHF or aero bands yet. HF comes in reasonably well with SW loop antenna that is included with radio. The AM loop one does not seems to do as well except using a passive am and HF loop antenna (sold on desertcart--search for passive loop antenna). The SI 4732 chip that is used in these radios internally needs a little more better antenna that the portable ones. This chip is revolutionary and made small enough inside your radio to bring expanded coverage for the especially for SW on this hand held radio. Programming by cable is simplest way and also you can reprogram the key buttons using the software and programming cable (which does not comes with it.) Watch you tube on the explanation of how to program by software and manually. Manual is hard to follow or understand!. I ordered the progamming cable separately. Anyway, Now I could monitor NOAA Weather Band, GMRS and Ham Radio. I have both the GMRS and Ham radio licenses. But will first check and make sure it properly operates on both those spectrums. Make sure your radio operates on the right FM bandwith setting so that you operate properly on ham radio and GMRS/FRS spectrum. Also check on FCC accepted specs before operating and transmitting. Otherwise, this radio has all the bands and frequencies to monitor for emergency and for enjoying leisure times. If traveling or at home with this radio get a small passive loop antenna to setup like at a park and you will be amazed how well it works. Most of all it feels and handles very weill in your palm of your hand. Feels like a well-made radio! Enjoy.! Paul K. --Meteorologist.
Review: Sounds absolutely great. Very well built. - Happy to see this type of radio being manufactured. The first one I bought and it works absolutely perfect. An absolute joy to learn how to use. The selectivity and sensitivity are amazing for a radio several times this cost. So far I've spent many hours enjoying the Radtel. Great to use alongside an online sdr shortwave like kiwisdr or using your own sdr based hf reciever to locate stations. In dense fm broadcast locations an fm band stop can be a good investment although the selectivity of this unit is excellent. Battery lasts a very long time. This is by far the coolest radio in my collection. Hit the add to cart or buy now button. You'll be so glad you did!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong audio, solidly built, RSSI indicator, spectrum display, capable radio!
*by S***Y on November 16, 2025*

A very good purchase for combined receive (RX) of HF + airnav + broadcast FM, and 2m/440 transceive! Very strong audio, good HF RX, good airband RX, very cool spectrum view & scan, RX RSSI indicator, HF seems fairly sensitive, large amount of customization - which is not for the timid! You will either love or hate this radio - there is no in-between! Tinkerers will absolutely love it! (There is a lot to play with.) Solidly built radio. Included "ring" antennas are kind of cheesy, but they do actually tune and work well. I recommend removing the VHF/UHF whip if you want to use the ring antenna. Otherwise the spacing is tight and coupling may occur between antennas. I absolutely recommend programming this radio using a computer. Doing so via the keyboard/menu system can be done, but it will get a bit tedious after 10 or 15 channels. Those wanting a "technical radio" will enjoy this unit. If you just want a 2m/440 band transceiver, you probably won't find a less expensive HT with better audio than this one! The spectrum scope is awesome and doubles as a scanner with 2MHz bandwidth. All in all, a solid purchase for the price!
