Earbuds that will pair with Bluetooth should work fine.
I can't stand earbuds but not because I don't like them I get ear infections absurdly easy so I have to use over the ear headphones.
Reloading has become a must with ammo prices. I have gotten enough supplies quite a while back to be good for a while and I'm glad I did with the prices. I also have a brass annealing setup to keep my brass firing for a long time.
Prices are ridiculous.
Here are the radios off the top of my head that support bluetooth: Tecsun H-501x, Tecsun PL-398BT, and Eton Elite Field.
I own the Tecsun H-501x and the Bluetooth is great I will stream shows online from my phone to it's speakers. I'm not sure this is designed for headphones though. It seems...
I've been trying to either shop local or drive (a reasonable distance) to avoid the shipping charge bloat. The 1% are enjoying their record profits. Example UPS reported 13.9 billion in Profit for 2022. Something is very wrong.
Edit: I feel bad for the employees and the independent trucking...
I haven't used the 700 but the Tecsun H-501x is great choice it's very sensitive and has great speakers. It can run the battery down quicker than expected with volume raises but it's great.
I would also suggest you look in to the Tecsun S-8800 I own that one too and it is great as well and very...
With a good antenna there is still a bit to listen to on shortwave. I usually take my portable outside in my backyard away from the house RFI and get pretty good reception when conditions allow. I'm planning on setting a loop up in the yard or running a wire at some point into the house. Here's...
Hey All,
I've got a Tecsun PL-880 radio that I'm looking to sell. I've had it for around 4 years. It has the latest software version on it. I just got a new battery for it a couple of months ago too. Will not come with the charging cable but those are easy to come by. Radio is in great shape...
I wanted to check in the forum and see who has used the C Crane Skywave and their thoughts on it?
It looks like a fully capable Short Wave radio with the added benefit of having the NOAA Weather Bands as well. Hard to find a good Shortwave radio that covers all the bands and as well as the...
Using my Tecsun PL-880 in bed for a few minutes with my headphones on so I don't disturb the wife.
Tonight October 21st listened to 5,085hz wtww out of Tennessee had some good music playing.
Also caught a couple of hams talking on lsb about the solar weather and their ham radio models. One guy...
So which radio faired better? I've heard that the PL-380 is a good radio but haven't read anything on Radiwow R-108. The ultra lights are definitely interesting considering how good performance is with portables these days.
It does have SSB I just haven't dialed in any LSB/USB ham conversations yet on it. I've only had it about a week this is it's third time out. I'll give it a whirl and report back (maybe tonight).
