I enjoyed your reviews on this radio. If all of the other bands worked better, I’d consider it, but since you say that only the internet radio feature stands out, it doesn’t seem worth it. For internet radio listening I use a Grace Digital Mondo Elite, which runs portable with an optional rechargeable battery. As a stand alone Internet radio, it’s great. I can listen to and add my own Internet radio stations via their aggregator, and also various integrated paid and free music services (Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, Shoutcast, SiriusXM, Live365, iHeart, Calm Radio), plus it supports Chromecast, so you can stream other services like TuneIn. I previously owned a Sangean that used now defunct Reciva. I also use a Squeezebox Boom, but it has to connect to the LMS server now that Logitech shut down their mysqueezebox server. Maybe in a later version Choyong will improve.
Thanks for your very thorough review, over multiple videos, of this radio. One thing I may have missed - did you find out which service (or if no service how they do it themselves) Choyong uses as their internet radio aggregator?
You mention the sim card, what is the TF Card ? Is it used for download the new firmware? Where do you get a tf card? I cant download 4.4 on windows 10 it says it cant.
