R108 Portable Digital Radio Alarm Clock| FM/AM/SW Airband Receiver, Sleep Timer, LCD Display, and Backup rechargeable Battery | Mains Powered | Grey

Bought this only yesterday and already giving a 5* review. Feature packed 'mini beast'!. All bands have given results with channels...even the Air-Band (my reason for purchasing) I am currently Miles away from my local Airport but managed to catch the frequency of an Aircraft passing over on it's way home. Radio Alarm clock too, saw it was but have to say I thought that's not for me as I use my Phone...that may change now too!. Amazed nobody has mentioned to date, behind the Battery cover is a small flap, I left it open and the Radio sits at you at a 45 degree angle...again great for Aircraft scanning (dunno if that's it's purpose but if not it should be!!). Only con is a silly 'lock' button, hit it by mistake and the Radio is locked, you then have to unlock to use it...erm is that not the same as the power button? 3 hour charge...flat to full...been using on FM for an hour and is still full. Nice touch the lithium battery is removable, these do loose their ability over time and takes 5 seconds to replace with a new One.

This little radio is great value for money. Quality of plastics is high and the sound quality - for voice in particular- is good given its small dimensions. It has many functions and therefore requires a reasonable amount of reading of the manual to make the best of its capabilities, but all in all I’ve been impressed.

I have purchased this product twice. One needed to be returned. It is a lovely small size receiver with good sensitivity and selectivity. It offers plenty of useful functions and it is capable of receiving Long, Medium, short waves, FM stereo and Airband. It has a nice backlight display, surprisingly good quality speaker and it sounds amazing on earphones, especially whem the music mode is turned on. The big advantage is the tiny size as it fits in your pocket. Another great feature (when it works) is the command dial which makes it easier to search for the channels. Here unfortunately something seems to have gone wrong as in 2 receivers I purchaased, one from Amazon and one from Ebay, the command dial was set crooked and it was lose. It kept falling off. There was a bit of a sticky adhesive tape holding it attached to the unit. I could not use such unit and returned the radio twice. Since then I have a managed to buy correctly assembled examples. The receiver is cheap and there are some quality issues. However, for the money, you can't get a better one if you get one that works ok. I just hope they will last some time. To sum up, once I got good examples, (I have 2) It is an amazing radio. I have seen some reviews saying that it doesn't pick up many short wave stations. It is working fine in my opinion and there is a skill to SW surfing, such as antenna use, time of day, location away from computers and outside. A very capable device when assembled correctly and used properly. Great value.

I had to wait until my Husband had tried this transistor and the comings and goings of an airport. To say it's very small it has very good reception 👍 of course you have to have a little patience when listening to the pilots. The radio has a lot of stations, plenty to choose from. Overall he says it was a very good present. Delivery excellent.

Compact but aircraft reception in my area (5 miles from airport) is poor.

Radio arrived on time and was well packaged. Took the radio out of the box to find the ariel is loose very loose will not tightness with screw also cannot receive not happy

Super quality little radio with many features. Considering its small format it has excellent sound as well

Very good
