I purchased one of these tiny radios several months ago. It's my daily go-to AM broadcast band radio. So far it performs excellently on AM. Using the rotatable ferrite antenna I've rec'd stations as far away as Chicago and Detroit at night. FM broadcast band capability is also excellent in my experience for such a small radio. 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. It receives local NOAA WX as good as any other radio I've owned.
The case is all metal, feels nice and hefty in the hand. A shade under a half-pound in weight. 3 3/4 inches high (approx. 9 cm) with attached rotatable antenna. The speaker size is exceptional for such a small radio and the audio's very acceptable to the ear. The speaker grill can be used to tune the radio annually by the way. The fit and finish are excellent. Has a rechargeable battery with included USB charging cord. Excellently-written 25-page owner's manual in English.
I use the Raddy app to control the radio. You can opt not to use it though. You'll definitely need to read the manual then due to the plethora of options.
All said, since I bought this radio mainly for daily AM b'cast reception and occasionally checking NOAA wx, I'm very pleased. Price is very reasonable, mine was under $40 at the time.
Wonder if anyone else has one of these radios and what their opinion is? Thanks for reading and 73's.
