Review: Keeper for it's price point - Good radio overall. Shortwave,Weatherband,AM and FM reception are decent overall. Sound quality is good but not as good as some of the other modern low price radios I have. Prius radios sound amazing at their price point and this radio is only okay. Easy to use and battery life is okay. Does not scan shortwave very fast but has memory unlike most other small shortwaves. Can do a search from a stored memory to save time. Good alternative to the K05 for shortwave at this time. Every thing works good, easy to use and handle.
Review: The designer went cheap on the whip antenna, it extends 9.5" from top of radio. - Works ok given that the model # implies that it might use the newest DSP chip, but it lists using a ferrite bar antenna and the newer DSP chips can do reasonably well with just a whip antenna, (as long as you're outside if it's a weak AM signal from my experience) it does need the external antenna as SW reception is close to what to expect if the whip is fully retracted. Weak AM signals are ok, it captures them, but for whatever it's worth, there is a lot of added "hiss", (like white noise) in the audio while listening to weak AM signals, but there is the EQ settings, E-1, (out of 6 choices) E-1 is the normal setting and the radio resets to E-1 when it's turned off, so whatever setting you put it in while listening, it will revert back to E-1 each time it's turned off. I use the E-4 setting (listed as "jazz" in the manual) for a deeper sound that makes most of the hiss go away. FM is fine, VHF has 4 bandwidths to choose from, (50, 100, 150 or 200khz) it can scan between 30 - 199.975 Mhz. Selecting the FM range chooses the AM step tuning as well. There's also the 7 channel WB mode, you can also, (if you choose the default 5khz bandwidth on VHF) pick up the WB (NOAA) channels on VHF mode as well if you're ok with it stopping a lot on either nulls inside the DSP chip or random noise signals, the whip antenna only extends 9.5 " from the top of the receiver body, there is no external antenna jack, one probably needs to use the supplied wire that comes with the unit to extend reception range of the tiny whip.

## Features

- Broader Reception Range: Expanding beyond standard FM/AM radios, the RF886 includes VHF(30.00-199.975 MHz) and shortwave(3.20-21.95MHz) bands for a broader spectrum of radio reception. Stay informed about hazardous weather with 7 NOAA weather bands.
- Digital Tuning: Enjoy precise digital tuning with the intuitive buttons, featuring a full-band meter wave search. Store up to 396 stations, with the option for auto and manual station storage.
- Dual Antennas for Stronger Reception: Benefit from dual antennas, a built-in antenna and a 9.85ft wire antenna supplied with the radio, ensuring double signal reception and a powerful radio capability.
- BT Connectivity: Connect the radio to BT devices to be a BT player with excellent sound quality. And you can enjoy private listening with headphones and six different sound effects of BT mode.
- Multi-functional Design: The RF886 portable shortwave radio is not just a radio; it's a versatile companion. Its compact size is 124x67x29 mm (4.9x2.6x1.1 in), making it ideal for handheld and carry-around. It has convenient Type-C charging, a torch, a flashlight, and an SOS function and is perfect for emergency and outdoor activities.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great radio……
*by N***. on August 30, 2024*

I can’t understand a lot of the negative reviews about this radio. But, as a couple of others have said, they are most likely due to inexperienced shortwave radio users. Regardless, this is a very inexpensive yet awesome radio. No, it doesn’t have some features, like single side band, that higher end and much more expensive radios have but, it works great with the features it does have. It’s small and compact and easy to carry and is solid and well built. It has NOAA weather frequencies (all 7) plus a weather alert function. It has a light and headphone jack. It has a clock and alarm. It has shortwave (meter band) with frequencies from 3.20 to 21.95 MHz. It is also capable of receiving VHF frequencies. It also has Bluetooth connectivity so you can play your own music from your phone, iPad, or computer. And, of course, it’s also an AM/FM radio. I live out in the country pretty far from any town or city and I get great reception, even with just the built-in antenna. It’s just a great all around radio at a very great price.
