Retekess TR110 - All Mode Wide Band Portable Receiver 

Please list which radios "can do it better and cheaper", Thanks!😀😀😀😀

I have had one for quite a while, and it is quite versatile with the many bands covered. I do find some overload adjacent to a strong fairly nearby FM radio 📻 station.

Very much like your clear calm and relaxed review

I just returned one of these a few weeks ago. Really struggled to tune stations that are just "right there" with other radio. Wish I had seen this earlier. I was looking for something much smaller than my larger radios. Oh, well. But thanks for the great video. 73

looks nice wee bit of kit that Matt ... and its picked me up quite well on 40m from Scotland

Well, it is amazing to find all this in such a small radio. The size of the radio obviously makes the number of knobs and switches has to be limited. As far as I can tell by watching your video, the radio does a great job as it pulls in amateur stations with ease, of course mainly due to your outside antennas. It surely takes some getting used to how operate the radio in order to get the most out of it. But isn’t this what it’s all about? I’m sure hobbyists will like to find out all about it, I’d like that no doubt and spend time with it. This is not a radio for the average listener, it is for the traveller and enthusiasts who want to see what still is on the airwaves and don’t want to pay too much. In the EU Aliexpress asks around €80,- for it. Which would be reasonable yet the maximum what I would want to pay for it. Willem, Hekelingen, Holland.

Yo te tengo el mismo radio y si cuesta trabajo sintonizar en SSB pero en las demás modulaciones cómo AM, FM funciona perfectamente, es mi radio preferido para viajar

My Tecsun radios (PL-880 and PL-398BT) also use a 3.5mm jack for an external antenna.

A good pocket receiver for HF is the Tecsun PL360 or 368. The 360 is AM only, the 368 has SSB.

I see this being included in a survivalist go bag along with one of those solar phone chargers. In such a situation there would be errr... much less QRM and perhaps no nearby broadcast stations to overload it. Those saying there are better options please include an external antenna connection, SSB mode and VHF, UHF, Airband in your alternative examples. Its market is that does everything in one compact device. Question, can it receive SSB on the VHF amateur bands?

Would you consider a future video on what you perceive to be the best police/fire/EMS (emergency services) receiver? Thank you.

For its price a really good spy gadget on the go on camping trips and having with you all the time. I even would have liked it to have no speaker at all and being half smaller using less battery.

I have a Sangean DT200-X radios that I use almost daily. If this Retekess had an AUX or SD/SDmicro input I would buy one. I contacted Sangean and suggested they add an AUX port. That way I could also listen to the numerous podcasts that I listen to daily and put on a Sansa Clip. I like the convenience of either speaker or earbuds instead of earbuds only.

There are other receiver units out there, which one picks up the most ham bands?

I received mine last week. How do you go about adjusting the squelch?

Is the display for the frequency as dim as it looks in the video?

I had the HanRongDa HRD-747 version and unfortunately my experience with it was a complete failure. I had 2 weeks of use with initially good results, at first then suddenly it went completely def. My guess is, there's a glitch in the ATT signal strength adjustment menu and now it just blocks all signals. I don't know if this problem is common or not , but I was very disappointed with the radio. I did get a refund.

3.5mm antennae jack is common for the tecsun longwave wire

If it was slightly cheaper it could be a goodish gift for the kids to play with and listen to short wave for the first time if there interested upgrade to a Belka DX, a stealth way to get the Belka with out the other half knocking your block off 😁

Thanks for the insight to this radio. What would you recommend instead of this TR110? I like the fact that the coverage includes AIR, VHF and UHF and the Wx and Ham bands. But what others do this better in such a compact unit?

i just ordered 1 from ali. where can i connect the antenna cable? to tv cable ?

BL-5C battery is a Nokia 1100 battery so pretty common, a plus i'd think.

Does it set to WFM mode for VHF bands ??

Thanks for all the great videos. Do you know the model number of the DSP chip in this radio?

Trekker radio. For when size/weight matters.

This Is Really Cool FRR. I WANT IT, But Can`t Afford It :(

NICE handy 👌

how to change att to normal? my radio can only local and dx ? please help

What's different of the HDR747?

Can I use a BNC female to 3.5mm adapter and a Radioworld R 881 Super Gainer Scanner Antenna 25 1900Mhz antenna for this radio?

just got one cant program it manula too unclear so i cant se it to scan bands i want to for 10 meters and

Maybe you didn’t adjust the “tuning step”. I have this radio and it took me a while to figure that out

I recall this fad in the early 70’s when there was a plethora of large transistor radios that claimed you could tune in to police / emergency services etc. Sounded great but once you have heard a few or even the local taxi cabs I did have to ask , what’s the point ?

SSB sounds unlistenable with this radios baked-in automatic gain control. I’d like to see these manufacturers add in some user adjustable AGC settings.

is that true with the receiver overload, unusable agc etc. about this radio people say ?? from what i hear from this this radion in this video it sounds ok, no problem. how come there is this much discrepancy between this and what other people say about it ?

Can't it received tv frequency's ?

Can it receive 29.6Mhz FM? All mode doesn't mean all mode. ICOM made that mistake years ago.

I ordered one of these, and had to send it back as it was as deaf as a doorpost. Couldn't pick anything up on it on any of the bands.

Not too shabby for the price.

I'm a causal viewer of your channel, so I seem to have missed important videos that you've done previously. You mention that there are better alternatives. Could you post links to your reviews of those better alternatives?

We Need A Knob Tuner Thats Bluetooth For ANY SDR For Androoids And Windows.

Thanks for this superficial first review. Since it is a tiny mux, it will not sound great if not using heasphones and the question ism does it have a lot of birdies and what about intermod when on a wideband antenna ... how soft is the squelch gate and why did you not use it on the air band? How is the difference on the air band when listening to a weak (far away) ATIS with different bandwidth settings and how does it compare to other receivers. The beauty is that it is even smaller than the XHData D-808, so it is ideal on the go and you can listen to UHF as well. An A/B comparison with the XHData-D808 on an antenna splitter would be nice ... they cost almost the same but this one goes up to 520MHz and is even smaller. It seems the PLL locks very slow, which can be annoying when tuning into sideband signals, but since you didn't even try to get them tuned on the beat, it doesn't seem to matter anyway. I wonder if some people think that sideband has to sound off the frequency and distorted like hell ... they secretly like Mickey Mouse voices? ... it really doesn't have to be like that. When you set the AGC to slow and keep the RF gain low, people can sound spot on, just like AM BC or FM BC ... very clear and dynamic. Since we live in the GPS age, we can calibrate our transmitters to be spot on without tuning 100Hz up or down for hams who don't know and don't care. Do any of these radios / or this specific one support synchronous AM? Do they/this offer a USB sound card feature when connected, or is the USB power (charging) only? If it had an USB I/Q interface, running an external SDR program would open the world to various digital modes. But I guess that is wishful thinking?

how do you get it to ssb,,,please,,,,,help,,,,its doing my head in

✊🏼

It looks like my Radioddity.

I got one of these just because of this video, i have wanted something this size with these features and its a good radio but with terrible software and shielding. I find on ssb that everything is 10hz low but the 1hz adjustment is actually 15hz so thats why people are having issues getting the tuning just right. The wheel only adjusts the frequency on 1hz sometimes 10 just doesn't work The controls are pretty confusing too, i wish the mode button changed the modulation and not the tune destroying freq bump. Im going to try put copper tape on the inside of the case to shield things as it works so well in the middle of nowhere

do you think this is a Sangean under the hood? the icons/screen functionality and tuning behaviour makes me think of my 909x2

Fantastic review again ! Shame that is crap for hundred :\ did anyone know good all band reciver but with better reception and small size ? I will appreciate any answer....

In Norway everything is dead in the year 2023. :(

Missed the old intro music

More info required... AM select on 136-143MHz? 225-399.975? All mode but is it? Looks like junk but interesting junk. Needs a bit of modding. Price ridiculous.

I have one of these. It's garbage. Reception on anything other than the broadcast bands is horrible. Go a bit bigger and get the XHData D-808 or the Tecsun PL-330 which are much much better.

Why not just get a uv-k5

Хороший приемник, использую уже два месяца. Ловит много чего при определенных обстоятельствах. За это время ручка энкодера благополучно отвалилась-там очень, тоненький стержень. После вскрытия дисплей стал показывать восьмерки вместо цифр. Хотя работает, настраивается двумя кнопками на слух. В общем превратился в угадай мелодию-волну... И это все за 8 тыр. И опять качество....

Had one a few years ago. Total crap. Buttons stopped working.

For the money I'd rather get a SDR based receiver.

I've bought one and returned it. Maybe I have received a defective unit but it was basically deaf compared to much cheaper radios. Even on the air band, my old TR-105 was beating it by far. On SW, the cheapest Xhdata D-219 was doing way better. Very fragile antenna, complex to use, mediocre battery usage time, all of this for almost 90 euros? no way. My worst radio purchase, ever.

I bought one it is very fragile !!!

Not bad but, cost a little too much

The joke is the SSB sounds 100 times better than TECSUNS PL-990 that cant even do SSB over 21 MHZ

gosh, the microphone is almost too sensitive. I don't need to hear like my ear is pressed up against the fellas jiggly neck while he speaks. 😒

Be OK at $19.99 😉

A review using External Antenna?! This is Useless.

what's the point of a receiver only?

No way is it worth £90
