Raddy RF919 AM/FM/SW/HAM/CB/Air/LW Radio With SSB! 1-30mhz Coverage, BT, SD recording and more! 

I'm holding out for the next all band radio to include a coffee maker and a frozen waffle toaster. I need a "complete" field radio package. LOL. Nice Raddy though.... Thanks for the review.

Thats pretty handy all you need in a little radio thanks for sharing hope you and jenn are doing well

That's a cool little radio with really wide coverage! Thanks for the review.

Thanks for reviewing the radio.

Thanks Eric!

Eric I am glad that you are doing an informercial for this radio. I have one on pre-order. I should be receiving mine pretty soon. I will now know how to operate it. It is really loaded with features for the price. For the current solar storm check out 10 meter, 6 meters 54 mhz, and 2 meters during the day. They should be really active. At night especially late try out 20 - 40 meters. When the radio was first turned on the CW was the UK and Europe's newest Amature band just above the US FM VHF commercial broadcast band. The person was sending CQ CQ.

Nice review on a great radio!

It looks and sounds really cool! Putting it on my 'down the road, save up for it' list of stuff i want....lol

Thank You for your video, this radio would be a good upgrade from my old Grundig.

The OD green looks great. I may have to pick one up when they eventually go on sale

SSB is a huge deal ! Powdered up it's a stunning thing.

it would be cool to see how well it receives on the CB bands from your mobile, thanks for the review.

It’s got a lot going on. Thanks.

Curious how does it compare to the Eton 750 Elite? Two different leagues of radios but im curious if this $300 cheaper raddy keeps up? Keep the shortwave reviews coming!

Monitoring 121.5 MHz on the air bad will sometimes hear emergency traffic. Planes are way up there so it works well even in remote locations. Also 245 MHz is used for emergencies by military aircraft. And 123.45 MHz is sometimes used on air band for air to air comms, although not really legal unless it's over the ocean.

It looks like a very nice radio

this reminds of a 70s radio but digital me likey.73s to the family.

My old Realistic Astronaut 5 still works like a champ. Don't know about the new fangled radios :) best regards chuck,

Just ordered mine from Amazon. Hope it works well.

Hmm , nice reciever . But , I operated radios with bigger frequency spread . 30 to 75 MHz . And I know there are other frequencies that up to the kilohertz range , that aren’t commercial . I’ve been looking for a receiver that does the whole spectrum of electromagnetic spectrum except radar . Can you think of any one that has that kind of thing ? Radio shack used to have a scanner that covered most of the spectrum , and Tandy put blocks on the bands you not allowed to listen to . Like cordless telephone frequencies

I had a 70 foot twisted copper wire going from the house to the garage out back for a SW antenna when i was a kid in the late 60s and my uncles Halicrafter tube receiver and you touch the dial and another station would come in and the radio traffic was very heavy with hundreds of tranmitters all over the world going 24/7 yet today there is nothing compared ! There are many unlicensed ham radio trancievers awaiting a true disaster and ham radios are only standing by right now !

hey question had cb radio yrs ago got out of it n recently got back into it looking for a good radio with am fm and lower n upper side bands but not trying to spend 4 or 509 on a radio with good antenna any recommendations?

I have never picked up long wave in over 25 years of shortwave. I was looking at a Raddy Rf750 and will see if you have a review on that radio before I order it. Thanks.

Maybe no luck on AM scan because it appeared as if it says NW AM which is narrow bandwidth am generally 2-3 kc wife. It's primarily used for signalling in CW . Not sure but must be Wide bandwidth am option that's closer to 10kc wide

great review . lots to hear on SW. the LW CW you got on 153 KHZ is a bacon used in air craft navigation. this is the old system before GPS and used as a back up system . their is 2 HAM bands in LW as well. need a big loop antenna to receive better .Sam with EXT AM loop antenna . yes we got a G5 solar storm. NOAA has warnings out. northern lights seen in NY last night. pic's and video from across the US on face book and you tube. CB messed up with HAM bands . AM aircraft band is used a lot. may just need better antenna and they talk in short times . they quick and scanning mist most of them. 18650 battery is a world wide standard, The time station WWV does broadcast solar weather info . just listen long enough . 2.5 /5/10/15/20/25 MHZ on 24 hours from FT Collins CO. has Mail voice ID. If you hear Femail voice IC that station WWVH Hawaii. great place to start to check how the bands are doing. them time clicks and beep are linked to atomic clock. that the best time we have.

You'll wanna test again tomorrow, your testing receive while we are still in a G4-G5 Solar storm

Wow.... they sent you the good one. $269

Thank You. What is the cost of one of these radios?

Nice radio. 👍👍

This radio has a 20W speaker? Boom! How did it sound to you, the music?

Also if you have a 6 meter or 2 meter receiver, look for people operating SSB and CW during the aurora.

Does it have squelch for narrow FM?

The radio is cool but a bit steep in price for me. I have a sdr with HF support for $50 bucks which is good for newbies to shortwave.

The tuning knobs look like deal breakers. They need to be mechanically solid and to use optical encoders. Also the sensitivity on SSB does not look good - 20μV compared to 0.20 μV on an IC-705.

I’ve had mine for two weeks as of this writing and enjoy it but hate the manual which made mastering it much harder than it should be. Now if the sun would stop sending out CME which interrupt short wave and medium wave (AM) reception..😮! WFM = Wide band FM NBFM = Narrow band FM. 73! Have a great day!

Try an alligator clip on a long wire to pick up short wave radio. I used my old underground dog fence wire and run it outside. Works great

It's all very well these radios we would love to own if only it was as easy here in the UK as it is in the U S to obtain one over the counter even a basic AM F M set seems difficult for a shopkeeper to demonstrate at one shop I had to suggest putting batteries in only to be handed over to a red faced put out attitude of the shop manager please U S A come to our rescue Tandy..U K was our last Hope and gone it seems for good That is in the U S RadioShake

I am sorry to say that FARPOINTFARMSER, nor FARPOINTFARMER is considered a valid discount word on the link you provided. Price is not reduced. ???

Lot of money for that radio

Can you let the intro song play a tad longer, as its a great part of your videos ... thx.

Shame it does not have FM on the 10/11 metre band, FM would have made the set more suitable for European use.

WFM is just wide FM.

WFM stands for Wideband FM .

HF was terrible for most people last night with the aurora, but I've noticed somebody commenting that medium wave AM was good.

Can't transmit tho ..kinda takes the fun out of it guess I'll pass.....I did want to see one in action ..thanks for showing us

Nice review. I'm sure it's a great radio but for me a little pricy.

It does everything, it just doesn't do it very well. You're money would be better spent on a old ham radio. $400 will buy you a jumk Yaesu, ICOM, Kenwood that will do the entire HF band plus 6 meters. No License, just disconnect the microphone and throw it away.

tune mute on hof in not"wow" that sucks big time

Too expensive.

This radio doesn't have good aesthetics.

2 numbers, NOT 3

It's rubbish BTW ;)

For 269.00 on Amazon. No thanks
