I have to agree with Gord. Ripping off American companies should not be supported. And yes, we are directly supporting them by purchasing their products. By supporting them, we are encouraging them to

Thanks Gord, <<< It is a rip off of a better product made by a reputable company that spent good money developing it, and will support their product with a real warrantee. >>> This is part of a

I am sorry to see so many people giving this product so much credit. It is garbage! One or two out of seven acceptable and the rest in need of servicing or redesign right out of the box? It is a rip

Thanks for your comments on the R-108, Jay (and also Chipbutty). Since the R-108 obviously qualified as an Ultralight radio model and since I was pretty curious about the state of quality control at

Jay - Re. The ticking sound. I have this too but find changing the information display to temperature gets rid of it. Others have reported this has worked also. YMMV! My main gripes are popping from

Gary, You are right...for anyone outside of Chine such warranties are useless as the costs to return a radio would match or exceed the cost of replacement...this has always been true of buying from

Blimey. I get a longer 'warranty' just with Amazon's standard returns policy. I have until April 21 to return mine. I don't have to give a reason and I'll get a full refund. Still liking the little

That is a real worry. I wonder if the quality control will improve over time. -- Paul - Moderator UltralightDX

For those who have purchased (or are considering) the Radiwow R-108 model, it may come as a big surprise that the Chinese manufacturer (XHDATA) does actually offer a "warranty" on the model-- but it

I've been pretty scathing about the quality control on this radio over on YouTube. If I'd paid another £5-£10 it would've been back for a refund. I draw the line eventually. Mine has issues but

Hi Chipbutty, <<< You haven't much luck at all with the R-108. I have to say on mine that the audio from the speaker is outstanding and will go very loud and still remains very clear. Far, far

The prognosis is great for Asian signals this morning, with Chris Kadlec's old Korean local 972-HLCA pounding in at S9 this early morning on yet another newly "Supercharged" C.Crane Skywave (and newly

You haven't much luck at all with the R-108. I have to say on mine that the audio from the speaker is outstanding and will go very loud and still remains very clear. Far, far better than the speaker

While going through the checkout tests of newly "Supercharged" (7.5" loopstick transplant) C.Crane Skywave portables I noticed that the audio amplifier in the newer (2017 and later) versions of the

I'd be interested to hear more owner reports on the R-108. I've been using mine a lot and thankfully I haven't come across anything else too severe so far. Nothing quite as bad as Gary. I've ordered a

With many technical jobs the task becomes somewhat easier if you perform it over and over, but that isn't going to happen with a 7.5 inch loopstick transplant into the ultra-crammed C.Crane Skywave

l feel lucky not to have those issues on mine. The loud popping noises on headphones is my biggest gripe. I was contemplating returning it to Amazon for an exchange. But whose to say a replacement

Congratulations to Jay on (apparently) receiving a good R-108 model from Radiwow. Unfortunately the results here have been somewhat less than favorable. Two more of the compact AM-FM-LW-SW-AIR-Weather

Well. I am interested in the Sony SRF-615. If you have not sold it, please let me know. Email address should be in the reply.

Hi Dave here from the UK. Yes would like the 380 if not too late, only thing is postage costs might not make it worth it ? Rgds
