Review: Great radio - Wow for the price you pay for this radio you are getting a proper bit of kit. Feels like it’s well made and it does what it says on the box well worth the money
Review: Great radio - Ive only had tbis radio for a few days, but so far, I cant fault it. I bought it primary for listening mainly to the air band. And other users. (Im currently working on my licence, to be able to legally transmit.) The radio is very sturdy and has a good build quality. The sound quality is excellent. It picks up signals from very long distances. Although i dont think it would transmit that far, but thats not why i bought it in the first place. The functions are easy enough to work out, which is a good job really, as the instruction manual is pretty useless. All in all, a great little radio. I can highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice Little Radio - Fits in the Palm of the Hand.
*by S***Y on 22 August 2024*

I'm still getting to grips with my new purchase, and to be honest it takes a fair amount of time to get your head around the operation of it, (it took me a day and I'm by no means stupid). The instruction manual could be so much clearer, for example, I searched and searched the manual for a way of storing frequencies on channels, but failed miserably. I eventually went onto YouTube and found a video which showed me how to do it in a matter of minutes. Why on earth the instructions aren't clearer is anyone's guess. I haven't had it anywhere near an airport yet, (I live 50 miles from the nearest commercial airport), but have been able to pick up a few aircraft conversations by scanning through the airband frequencies. I've also been able to pick up a few amateur radio conversations too, up to now around 50 miles away with the bigger aerial that I purchased. Like I say, I'm still finding my way around it, but apart from the manual issues it seems to do what it says on the box. At the price it's a bit of a bargain - and there's always YouTube instruction videos when all else fails!
