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: A Very Simple Shortwave Radio To Use and Also Record Logged Stations - I had spare change to buy something for my belated birthday, so I bought this. This radio came the next day thanks to 1 day shipping, shipping was fast. I took it out of the box, and it came with a cord, and also took the D cell batteries out of an SW boombox that I hardly use. I powered it up for the first time using the cord, and set up was very easy. The AM Band (MW Band) is permanently set by default to tune from 522 kHz to 1620 kHz at 9 kHz increments. The AM reception is very clear, and I bet it will be very good too at night. To pick up distant stations you will need to use a tunable loop antenna and couple to the receiver or use a ferrite rod coupler for your active and passive antennas that is for the AM bands. Since it only tunes 9 kHz stations, you will have to enter the local / distant AM stations you want to hear and enjoy or take your time to slowly tune the tuning know at 1 kHz increments. It's a very good AM receiver to use on the bedside or anywhere day and night. The SW bands are great, and this receiver give you, the listener the ability to tune from 2.3 MHz (120 meters) to 21.195 MHz (15 meters) to hear the world such and international news, music and events, and sports. You will need to use the telescoping rod antenna for moderate the strong signals on the short wave bands, and a wire antenna indoors or outdoors for weak to moderate signals during the day and night. This radio is very easy to use, even for a beginner, and since it's digital tuning it should be much easier than using a analog dial. It does give you the ability to preset the memories as many as you need to through the ATS tuning or memory feature. I would recommend that you purchase also a reeled up wire antenna to use indoors and outdoors since there is no external antenna input jack. FM Band is great since it's able to tune from 76 MHz to 108 MHz which is likely you will hear TV NTSC channels 5 which is 81.75 MHz, and channel 6 for NTSC audio on 87.75 MHz, and also the entire FM broadcast band. If you happen to be around Japan when travelling, this radio is able to tune the local Japanese FM broadcast band from 76 MHz to 90 MHz, and the rest of the world from 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz. For best reception use the telescoping rod antenna and move away from noisy sources. Also you can still use a dipole antenna by clippng one lead to the telescoping rod antenna. It does have th ability to receive local and distant FM stations without the receiver overloading. The best time to listen to distant / remote FM stations is mostly during the late spring to early fall season. The Recording / Playback feature is a great addition which has the ability to use a up to a 32 GB micro card (not included, but required) to collect your local and distant radio programs and talk shows, and international short wave radio broadcasts and share your recordings with your friends and family. There is no settings required to change the bit rate or anything, so everything is set and ready to go already. It can playback MP3 and WAV files even from a USB WAV recorder that I used to plug in and tested the playback feature which most of the files on it were MP3 and WAV formatted. This radio is a very easy to use radio, and it will give someone started in short wave radio listening and eventually get prepared for bigger complex receivers with single side band and other modes, and eventually help prepare that short wave radio listener for to get on the air with a amateur radio license to talk and help support the world in need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a bad mini table radio
*by R***W on January 20, 2026*

This is not my first rodeo -- er, radio! I'd never heard of Retekess before now, but have owned dozens of radios spanning decades. It's smaller (and thicker) than the pictures make it seem. I like the overall styling, but I wish the volume knob was on the side. Regarding the sound -- it's passable. The 3" speaker does okay, but sounds more like a "transistor" radio than anything else. It's very clear (with lots of treble) but has zero bass. A deeper sound comes from my Sangean PR-D18 handheld radio...which has an even smaller speaker! I appreciate the direct-entry buttons under the display...which is also big and easy to see. The backlight comes on each time a button is pressed and It's very easy to select a station on any of the three bands. But I haven't tried to set any presets yet. I don't usually do that with radios anyway. And I also appreciate the carry handle. The recording feature is pretty unique. I've certainly never seen that before. I tested it briefly with a thumb drive I had lying around. It works! ... and seems easy to figure out. I can't attest to whether it has recording-length limits or not. But it's a cool feature. Most of my radio listening is done with AM, so I bought it, hoping that it had reasonably good sensitivity on the AM band. I was pleased to see that it actually does. HOWEVER, after plugging it in, and playing with it for awhile, I was disappointed (at first) that most of the out-of-town AM stations I tuned to had a lot of interference, and the reception wasn't very good. FM (as expected) was just the opposite. Normally when I listen to AM stations at 30 miles away and farther, I use a Terk (external) AM antenna, to boost the signal. The radio responded well using that method. Stations that were basically non-existent when I tuned to them, came to life when I put the Terk next to it. (which is what is supposed to happen) The picture I attached shows the radio and the Terk antenna together. So, a day or two passed, and I finally decided to put batteries in it. BINGO!!! The static and interference I was hearing on AM, was gone! This also improved the radio's ability to pick up distant stations :-) I was amazed at the amount of RF NOISE the AC plug caused. So......if you want to use this receiver for AM -- USE IT WITH BATTERIES ONLY! And I would recommend NiMH RECHARGEABLE batteries. (they're available in D size) I'm not much of a shortwave listener, and I actually haven't even been able to find a SW station that the radio will tune to. My house is only a few miles from a "clear channel" 50,000 watt transmitter...so it's only picked up "splatter" (on SW) from that tower. Bottom line; the Retekess seems to be pretty well built, and the antenna (for FM/SW) is a good length. If you don't care about AM distant stations, or AM at all, then the TR629 should be a good fit for you, and you can even use it on AC power.
