Hi Jacques! Super helpful, I really appreciate your comments. Ah, the Sony ICF2001F, always wanted one of those back then! Settled for the ICF-2003 some years later and later the 2010 - cherished

Not top notch in terms of sensitivity, but I guess better than most "ordinary" sets. On FM it compares favourably with my old Sony ICF2001D. On MW & SW the Sony is way better of course. It's

Using the Retekess V115 for recording of FM Radio - Some questions please? Hi all, I have the following scenario I'd like to fulfill... Scenario: I'd like to be able to sit on an FM station for

Hi Peter As you say, there's a significant price difference and I've always had excellent service from them, all that remains now is to see what their response is to this situation. I'll update

Thanks for that Drifter. Some items ship from the UK, including the R-108. Presumably VAT is included. There prices are significantly lower than Amazon UK. Peter

Mine came from XHDATA, or Radiwow as they identify themselves on Amazon. Amazon fullfils the orders. The original price is £51, but Amazon have the grey one for £43 and the black one for £41. It is

Hi Peter I bought it directly from XHDATA as I have in the past. I chose the grey version which I prefer and I think it's identical but I've re-packed it ready to return, assuming I get the option.

It might be a clone, but even geographic originals can have quality problems. Maybe I should give my originally happy but now corroded AR1733 a clean-up chance . . .

Blimey £33. Where did you order it from? Mine was £41 but it isn't faulty, Does yours look exactly like the one in my photo? I understand there are some fakes around. Peter

Hi again Peter and all My excitement has rapidly been destroyed, the unit's faulty! It wasn't a flat battery after all. I await now to see what the response is from the seller. Will update. Drifter

Peter, most of this size look externally similar, but is this an upgraded AR-1733? I have the latter, which was better than average - until battery leakage killed it...

@Drifter - I have both the North American version of the DT-800 and the European version. The European version doesn't have the North American weather band (162.40-55 MHz) and FM de-emphasis is set

Merci Jacques

I have two of these sets. The first one records at 128 kbps, the more recent one branded Kaimeda SRW-710S records at 320 kbps. There is another big difference between them: the

That's about my limit these days as well! Drifter on a sunny day in the winter of my discontent

Hi Mark On that particular day reception was remarkably good on longwave, with Radio Luxembourg coming in unusually well, although I have to confess to not listening to it much these days. I was
