Ritmix RPR-888

Advantages: Equalizer when working with drives, remote control, convenient control of tracks from the remote control, very good sound in headphones even when working in radio mode, very high receiver sensitivity at medium waves, large volume reserve, battery, convenient tuning knob, mains power.

Disadvantages: The scale is not accurate

Comment: Most shortwave radio stations are well received. At medium waves, it catches especially well even those radio stations that most other radio receivers barely hear or do not hear at all. On the FM band, you do not need to extend the antenna at all, everything is perfectly caught even when folded. In the operation of the radio receiver, the operation of the APCG and BShN systems is noticeable, and on all bands. The battery turns on by unplugging the power cord from the AC IN jack.

Advantages: Size, volume, sound, reception, built-in battery, design

Disadvantages: Setting scale incorrectly

Comment: I bought it for a summer residence. Most devices are up to 2000 rubles. have a "handheld" format. Because of their small size, they have a small speaker. Accordingly, you can hear them normally indoors, but you can't hear them outside at a distance of 3m. Prices for large units are going through the roof. Here we have a normal sized receiver with a large speaker. By turning it on on the street, you can normally listen to music anywhere on the site (most importantly, do not turn it on in full, so as not to quarrel with your neighbors ;-) someone else's right to rest must also be respected). The reception quality is excellent. Cottage 55 km from the city center in a straight line. FM reception is confident, the rest have not been tested. I did not check reading memory cards, there is no need. I was pleased with the built-in battery, if the light turns off or it is far from the outlet, you can listen to the radio, and you don't need batteries. I liked the design. Really, it looks like in an advertisement: "Hello eighties!" :-) Disadvantage - when assembling the receiver, the Chinese worker incorrectly fixed the pointer on the scale. Because of this, the station is a little out of place. I do not think that this is the case on all devices. Most likely this is a marriage of my particular model. Playback is not affected. Then I'll take it apart and see what's inside. If the pointer is fixed with a thread, as on old receivers, just move it and that's it. I am satisfied with the receiver, I recommend it.

Advantages: Convenient buttons and control knobs. The sound is good. The scale is shifted to the right by a couple of mm.

Disadvantages: The antenna is not serious. It can break at any moment. I did not find the charge switch for the built-in battery.

Comment: The receiver came without a remote control. As if he is not particularly needed, but the money has been paid.

Advantages: retro design, catches well, no wheezing, lightweight

Disadvantages: Well, we haven't found it yet, but then we'll see

Comment: I bought it for my grandfather, it was from the times of Soets finally gave God his soul. I was attracted by the design, because my grandfather is a man of the old school and modern design will not suit him in any way. And this one is not much different from his old one. In addition, lightweight - can be carried from kitchen to room.It catches well almost all radio stations

Advantages: 1. Price - I took it for 710 rubles. 2. Sound 3. Built-in battery 4. USB support

Disadvantages: 1. Very bulky, 2. The quality of the materials corresponds to the price. 3. Adjustment of frequency and sound - too sensitive and not accurate. 4. Belt for carrying, it would be better to attach a handle ...

Comment: Of course, the build quality is far from the Soviet receivers, but for 710 rubles I did not expect more. Not a bad receiver overall, but a bit big for me. It was necessary to take a smaller version, model 202 with a flashlight.

Advantages: Built-in battery, battery operation, mains operation. The battery lasts for 4-5 hours. There is an AUX mode. Mp3-player plays tracks from folders (read somewhere that it reads only from the root of the drive). The power cable folds easily into the battery compartment. Charger inside the receiver.

Disadvantages: Not an accurate scale, very sensitive volume control in mp3-player and radio mode. It's a pity there is no display for navigation of the mp3-player. The remote control is universal, some functions do not work. The battery is not charging or not at all.

Comment: After reading the comments about the volume knob and the radio scale, I bought it anyway. I didn’t regret it. Used in the kitchen, garage.

Advantages: It was taken for my grandmother to replace the old Soviet apparatus that had gone into oblivion. Therefore, I was looking for a replacement primarily externally. This 100% fit the criteria "outwardly like the old Soviet". I only needed FM reception, so I won't say anything about the other frequencies. It catches on a four (in my opinion, an overly aggressive automatic frequency control, which sometimes, on the contrary, extinguishes a good signal and you have to turn the knob 0.1 mm left-right). In general, the reception is a pleasant experience, he takes all the necessary stations confidently even with the antenna folded down. Very, very good sound for a radio receiver. Really somewhat reminiscent of the pleasant "tube" sound of Soviet radio. Do not expect bass, but it does not squeak or wheeze. Built-in battery. In case "move somewhere and listen without an outlet." Keeps average, 2.5 hours at medium volume. There is also a battery compartment. Plays flash drives and supports AUX. At first I was puzzled by the fact that he did not see the song on the flash drive at close range. Then kind people advised to format the flash drive in FAT (not FAT32!) And it worked. There is a remote control, but it only works for "browsing songs from a flash drive."

Disadvantages: Analog radio tuning. I would like to have several stations in memory and buttons to switch them. But no, you have to turn the handle. The tuner knob itself. Made from some of the worst plastic they can find in China. However, the device itself is also made of it, but if the body does not really need anything, then the handle,sorry, you have to twist, but it feels very flimsy. The stroke of the tuner knob is heavy and not always accurate (there are slight backlash left and right). If you like to tune frequencies frequently, this will add some complexity. On the other hand, the volume knob is extremely lightweight. You can hit the table and it will turn back and forth. This does not interfere, but there is some effect of the "frivolity" of the apparatus. The frequency scale is slightly off to the right. If you search exactly by frequency, you will not find it, take it to the right (judging by the reviews, it is knocked down by almost everyone). The battery is not a minus, but it is still worth mentioning that the quality of Chinese technology of this level gives the right to doubt its quality. After a while, it can theoretically swell and damage something inside, or even burn and leave a unique aroma.

Comment: Everything is written in the pros and cons. A normal receiver as a "replacement for Soviet devices". Good sound, normal reception. There are not very pleasant moments on the assembly, but in principle, you can put up with this.

Advantages: good reception the ability to listen from the mains and batteries convenient carrying strap remote control

Disadvantages: no

Comment: A good receiver, I took it for a summer residence. You can listen to it both at home and take it with you to the site. It catches well, you can also listen to music from memory cards. Interesting semi-antique design.

Bought for the garage. There is a built-in battery, but it works from the mains. He catches the radio, and confidently. Can be played via AUX. I like the design, I also remember such receivers.
