Review: Great AM/FM Radio. Picks up many AM stations especially at night. FM works great. Nice Sound. - This radio really does a nice job of pulling out even weak low power daytime and distant am stations at night and makes them clear as if it's a local station. These radios have a digital tuning receiver chip and it seems to have an AGC circuit that kicks in to pull those weak stations better. Works very well and better than a conventional AM/FM radio even better than my car radio. A little tricky on the am tuning but especially at night it picks up a allot of weak stations. FM works very well. It is a great radio for emergency use or backup.
Review: Check this out if you have a problem with the USB or SD drive not being recognized. - The Radio will not recognize the USB or SD card if the audio files are written to the wrong format type. To be able to use the USB and SD cards it is required that the format type be FAT32. This is NOT mentioned in the brief User Manual information delivered with the Radio. Limit the drive size to 16GB. MP3 files sound great! The sound and product quality is surprisingly GREAT for the price charged. It's Simple, yet it is solid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great FM Reception vs. Sangean
*by R***Z on October 15, 2025*

The RETEKESS TR618 FM radio reception is better than my two Sangean tabletop AM/FM radios with external antennas. Those are great radios but the Retekess reception is better. I would like the finish, The knobs and the bright bits to be a little more high-quality. I would've been willing to pay more than that. The labeling for the tune dial is ridiculously abbreviated to "TUN." (I think they had room for one more letter:) So far I have not noticed the FM reception strength red light. Perhaps, I have confused this with another model? A military grade version of this radio would be nice. In addition to some type of rubberized armor, it could have a rechargeable battery, instead of a D battery, and maybe it would have a more robust FM antenna. The antenna mount on this radio is the same as almost every other radio. It will loosen with regular use. Highly recommended for value and FM reception power. Just do not expect that small, weak college radio station over the hill to come in:) For me, that would've been receiving KZSC 88.1 FM, the University of California Santa Cruz radio station, in the San Jose area.
