Dan Provides Update on Choyong LC-90 

Thank you for your precious information. I contacted the manufacturer yesterday to find out if they would have a version for using the 4G sim card here in Brazil and they asked me to wait until June, when they will launch a version of the LC90 Global radio version. 73

Thank you for great review. What I find most puzzling it’s the fact that Choyong does not share info what platform supports internet radio feature. For all other internet radios you can manage the list of stations online, which is not the case here. Someone mentioned that it uses skytune, but it does not

Thanks for the update, Dan. I always appreciate your information!

Thanks Dan for your very informative video, I just received my new Raddy RF919 today because I use my cellphone’s data plan with a 50 gigabyte limit. I managed to run it out between all the required updates for IOS, Android, Linux, Apple and Windows uses about 1/3 the limit and I streamed a radio station for about a day and and used the rest of it, so internet radio has lost its appeal for me. The new Raddy does have a kickstand and also High/Low pass filters plus Att/LNA amps. I only have used this for a hour with a steep learning curve, but so far I’m happy with my choice. 73! Have a great day!

Update, I am returning my LC90 to Amazon for a refund. Sorry, but the problems I encountered, as shown by you and Gilles too, were disappointing 😞 I do have a smaller Ocean internet receiver for now. Yes, it sounds good, the construction seems good, and package is nice. 😊

Thank you for the review. Do you know which internet aggregator this uses? Randy-Illinois

Dan It is not shutdown it has almost 1,000 members and that group was created first without the designer of the Radio by me. He became a member later and for some reason he was very rude and disrespectful to Administrators and he was banned from the group. Now he created another group. But my group was the first and Original Group created for this radio. This radio has a lot of issues with software package download package that on many people in the USA can not do the upgrade and you know that. And people with luck who has upgraded the radio say it has a lot of problems. So don't buy that piece of radio, it is not worth it

Interesting. I tuned to 9275 and didn't hear a birdie so how do you know the birdie is coming from something inside the radio?

Dan, I obtained the LC90 from Amazon a few days ago. It is an interesting receiver, and mine is updated with SSB choices. I could not connect to my wifi router at home. They said it could be my routers security such as WPA2 or WPA3? It did connect through tethering to the Hot Spot on my Samsung Smartphone, though not my first choice. It also has some birdies on certain frequencies. FM reception here is good, shortwave is ok, but MW is poor, as MW generally is here to external noisy environment in my place. I have other receivers as you mentioned. Thanks for your review and update. 73 Ray W2CH 😊

Between you and Giles I am not hearing enough “good” points at all to fork over $$ to buy this radio. Way too many negatives. Maybe in a year or 2 this radio will have been brought up to a more quality level. Sorry Choyong.
