Awesome little radio! It came in a nice box, no damage from delivery. The package came with the charger, wall adapter, belt clip, battery, antenna and the radio itself. No lanyard. The radio does have USB-C which was added in a clever way. 2 of the pins from the standard battery type were removed and replaced with an LED indicator that shows red when charging and green when fully charged, as well as the USB-C port. The speaker is very loud and has super clear sound. Playing music in FM radio mode sounds amazing, you can hear the volume and quality in this video i made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVhkrL8YOrM Bluetooth and GPS work as expected, but you will need to be outside to get a GPS signal. For some reason Bluetooth and GPS do NOT work at the same time. If you enable one in the menu, the other is disabled. This could cause confusion if you enable Bluetooth, the left/arrows to access the GPS menu do nothing. All bands are working, and you can even listen to the FM radio waiting for an Airband signal. When a signal arrives, the radio automatically switches away from the FM and then back, very cool. Airband is listen ONLY, if you try to use the PTT button you will just get busy tones from the speaker. Since the radio is basically the Radtel RT-490 / Socotran 8629 / JJCC 8629 in a new more modern looking case with the new USB-C battery, it is possible to use the Radtel programming software and also the app (not made by them, probably JJCC, but it's the only public links i have found). If you have a PC or an Android phone, you can download the software from here: https://www.radtels.com/pages/software-download "Radtel RT490 6 Band Radio Bluetooth APP Download (for Andriod)" "Radtel RT-490 6 Bands Radio Software" ("seller" linked here some software in one of the questions, the same software as above, but only in Chinese so don't bother) The programming cable is the "K" style Baofeng, my cable is on the way, haven't tested it yet.

Johnex Justto update on my review, i got the cable today, just a standard Baofeng K type cable, the cheapest possible from AliExpress (search OPPXUN baofeng usb, the black and grey with cd), and it works great with the Radtel software on PC "Multiband" that i linked above. It will let you do things like exclude channels from search, disabling transmit on specific channels, setting custom names as well as change radio settings. It's a big hassle to do it directly on the radio so i really recommend it. For 3 dollars it could have been included in reality, but oh well.

Johnex @BG231161421 Hi!Yes you can block any frequency from transmitting, but you must do it using the PC/Android software. You can't program using the usb-c port, as the port is actually on the battery itself, so charging only.

Johnex @BG513101511 DeLED brandt rood tijdens het opladen en blijft groen wanneer het opladen is voltooid. Zoals de opmerking hierboven, download het bluetooth-programma van de bovenstaande URL. Je moet ook de bluetooth INSCHAKELEN in het menu.

Kbmahe Hi,
Have you test the Range for this Radio?
And how good can you say about the Airband?
Reply 18/01/2022

Johnex @Kbmahe Ihaven't tested the range, but you can check reviews for the Radtel RT-490 / Socotran 8629 / JJCC 8629 on youtube, there are some range tests there.

Airband works flawlessly, with the included antenna i can listen to airplanes landing at the local airport 10km away indoors. Outside even farther away, i have seen 25km on approach, but usually planes request landing when they are within 10km from the airport. The signal quality is great as well, and could be improved with a higher dBi antenna if needed.

flyboy Hey, you said that you can listen to FM, and automatically switch to airband when receiving a signal. Do you know if the same can be done when on an amateur band frequency like 144.00, and automatically switch to airband?
Reply 19/02/2022

Submit
Johnex @flyboy Yeahyou can do that too. The radio has dual standby, and you can prioritize either A or B, or stay on last band that received.
