About Retekess TR604 AM FM Radio
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
85% appreciated the antenna length and design, while 15% struggled
I took this radio to the park along with other radios and it equaled or surpassed those radios on AM for distant station reception.
Even when I fully extend the antenna, I need to be fairly close to the radio to get clear reception.
89% were impressed with the portability
I like to carry the radio outside to listen to ball games, music or talk radio while I sit on my bench or on the porch.
66% liked the frequency range, but 34% didn't
While using the AM band, I noticed that the digital signal processor jumps frequency and causes a subtle pulse in the audio.
I criticized the tone control of the radio for not being a variable knob and instead being a two position switch that removes some high frequencies while simulating an increase in bass frequencies.
86% were satisfied with display and controls, whereas 14% weren't
The control knobs are great for my hand and make it easy to control the volume and dial the station. The display is basic and not overloaded with too many bells and whistles like today's electronics.
The knobs are too tight and close together, making it difficult to move.
71% found connectivity options easy, but 29% faced issues
I like the idea of the radio's tuning not being digital and having a small antenna to bring in the signal.
I suggest placing the radio near a window with the antenna fully extended for better reception, avoiding placing it on top of the laptop or near other wifi devices.
84% appreciated the audio quality, however 16% were dissatisfied
The sound quality is fine, but tuning dial distinction is inconsistent for the same station and very indistinct.
I complained about the sound quality in AM mode. The audio demodulator is overdriven on strong sounds causing the audio to crackle.
