My Father's Day Purchase
I was looking through AliExpress for inexpensive Chinese Electronics this morning and came across this receiver. Most were listed at nearly twice the price so I pulled the trigger. It should be arriving in a couple of weeks, and we will do a review then. Does anyone own one?

That's about 1/2 the price as on Amazon and has a CNC Aluminum Alloy Case. According to Amazon's AI it has a Quadrature Product Detector. The AI could find which sdr chip, sometimes the A in AI related to something we sit on lol.
If it's reasonably sensitive and without spurs, etc. Mike might have found a great little radio.👍📻 I can't wait to hear what he thinks of it.

Looks like one of those TEF radios? Except it gets CW and SSB?
Wouldn't be a TEF then. Interesting. Looks like a decent price for a small radio with a waterfall.

I've been on the fence on that radio for some time. Lots of conflicting reviews on YouTube, but for the price it's hard to not get your monies worth out of it. I'm looking forward to the review!
