## Description

radio

Review: A DSP radio that performs well for it's size – makes my Sony and Eton models look very elderly! - I hadn't looked at World Band radios for quite a long time but my Sony ICF-SW7600GR was starting to show it's age and my Eton E5 had gone all sticky – as they inevitable do. After doing a bit of online research it seems the Chinese now dominate the SW radio market with brands like Tecsun and XHData producing a good range of models across the price range. However, as a suggestion from desertcart the RADIWOW R-108 popped up and looked like a decent radio for the price so I took a chance on it. I must say that for a small radio – less than 5 by 3 inches – it performs very well indeed with it's DSP (Digital Signal Processing) giving good results except on Long Wave, where reception is very poor indeed, and common to most DSP radios. The radio is supplied with a rechargeable BL-5C lithium battery of the type that featured in old Nokia mobile phones – the battery is fitted in the battery compartment on arrival but needs to be removed from it's protective plastic before it will work – replacement BL-5C batteries are about a fiver from desertcart. The R-108 is generally very intuitive to use but some functions are not immediately obvious and you will need a quick read through of the manual to get the best of all this little radio's features – especially the multi-purpose buttons. The radio has a massive 500 preset memory but sadly there are very few Short Wave stations left nowadays – most international broadcasters are now to be found online only so you will struggle to fill many presets with what there are now available. The R-108 performs very well on Medium Wave and the Voice/Music option plus the Bandwidth selector allows some good quality listening even through the rather small built-in speaker. FM is also good and the Airband picks up more than I expected in my location. The R-108 offers a lot of features for the price and with the decreasing amount of Short Wave stations available it may not be worth spending a fortune on a more powerful model these days. My Sony and Eton models were good radios in their day but the DSP offered by modern receivers improves reception considerably and the user-friendly design of radios like the R-108 makes radio listening away from DAB a joy to rediscover. Five stars to RADIWOW for their R-108 model which does all I hoped for and more – recommended at the price.
Review: WOW !!! - First things first this review is based on my usage of the Radiwow R-108 over the past 3 days,i am no expert by any means just somebody who enjoys SWling and the Aircraft bands i have several sw radios in my home Tecsun 380,680,Sony 7600D,Grundig G3,Philips D2935,so i have a fair idea how to use a sw radio. The 108 is small and i mean small i thought my 380 was small but it covers the 108 when placed on top,which is a plus for me means it just slides into any pocket,with the radio also comes a usb cable for charging,a rechargable battery external wire antenna wrist strap attached user manual which is rather good actually.I have been running the radio most of the day and night for the 3 days and charged it just the once also i see Radiwow have spare batteries on desertcart which is good. The sound off the speaker is in my opinion fantastic for the size of the radio you would honestly think it was from something larger,FM stations sound great which they should do really but i have had radios that just sound terrible. What shocked me was how great the airband is it beats the 680 no problem you can even use the external antenna socket for airband aswell as the usual sw etc which is good.Hooking it up to my long wire brings in a few stations on sw i havent had before the added bonus of the selectable filters is a great help there.The display is bright and clear and backlit if needed,LW/MW i have used and listened to stations without problems but sw is my main interest and it really shines,for those who have owned Tecsuns with the ETM function the 108 can do the same you can have it scan the whole sw band or aircraft band etc and it will pop what it finds into memory i love that function so glad its included here.What ever is in memory can be scanned also so if you want to fill the 500 slots with airband and scan its not a problem.A squelch function is included which comes in very handy even though it is tiny you still get a kickstand on the rear.The telescopic antenna is not the longest but the length of it goes well with the radio and works great on airband, fm, obviously sw if its a strong signal and conditions we all know what sw can be like. As i said i am no expert or technical minded i just enjoy the hobby and this is the first real review i have written for anything so apologies if i have missed anything. RADIWOW R 108 just a fantastic bit of kit and one which i will be keeping for sure and all for just over £40 amazing....

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How good is LW reception?**
A: LW is poor, a result of the DSP (digital signal processing) chip used in many modern radios. Other bands are received very well, however.

**Q: Can you change the temp setting from fahrenheit to centigrade?**
A: Hold the 9/10kHz button down when the radio is off.

**Q: Can i listen to digital dab radio stations?**
A: Hi,

Honestly it's pointless to buy a radio to listen to dab as you can receive it using a RTL-sdr dongle and software which decodes dab , but to answer your question it doesn't as it does have the required chip for dab, this radio will do from about 135khz to 135mhz (which includes FM broadcast band and air band) but yeah dab is 210mhz to about 235mhz.

If your interested in the software to decode dab using a RTL-sdr or other SDR equipment , the main two I've found are welle.io and qt-dab.

Although just a quick note they do sell dab radios if your after a unit that's design for it specifically.

**Q: Can you tune into ATC with this?**
A: Dear customer, Thank you very much for your question about our R-108 portable radio. Our R-108 radio has an ATS (Automatic Station Search) function and can receive shortwave medium wave and airwave bands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great radio set as long as you don't use LW.
*by F***G on 24 March 2020*

This is an excellent radio. Very compact. Useful Air Band and very sensitive FM. Short Wave OK but is next to useless on Long Wave. This is (almost!) the radio I would have dreamt of as a kid. The rechargeable "Nokia" battery is a master stroke. Well thought through product. Just needed better LW reception to get that extra star.
