So just trying to understand a bit more. What are you actually connecting what to what? Is what you have done with the soldering, have you joined both scan button together or am I see it wrong. Any help would be good. Thanks for all your videos
Hello my name is Luis and I watched and did the same hack you did on your video and the scanning worked but I can't turn of my radio and the volume control doesn't work now and the radio is stuck on low volume and I can't use the rest of my controls of the radio neither but it scans until I have to pull the batteries to turn it off. Please help me out. Thank you. (Luis).
i have built it and it works, but you cant switch off the radio you have to take out the bateries. I have fixed it by adding an switch between the two solder contacts so you can switch the sweep on and off and then you can switch the radio off again!
Thanks guys - really nice to see that even though you sell these rsdios, you're still happy to give away the "trade secrets" for free to us novices. Wish I could solder as well as you also, LOL!
A bit late but, never build solder up on the iron then apply to circuit as the flux in the solder burns off and does not clean oxides from the circuit components or board. If the method shown is followed, use flux paste to the circuit board and components to clean the oxides and provide a clean joint.
Salut merci pour ton tuto,mais hélas j'ai une version différente de la votre. Je ne sais pas quoi faire avez vous une idée de ce qu'il faut faire. Je vous remercie beaucoup. J'arrive pas a mettre une photo de la radio😢
I know this video was posted a good while ago but I just wanted to say I'm so glad I found it lol. I've just purchased one of these radios and will be doing exactly as you did once I've bought a soldering iron. Also I'm hoping to make another ghost/spirit box with another radio I bought some time ago, the only problem is is that I've never seen anyone hack this particular type. If you are on FB would I be able to send you a picture of the radio so you could give me your opinion, thank you.

Hi, I know a lot of people were frustrated when Retekess PR13 changed their circuit boards. I have found two different radios that can be converted, If you wish to experiment by opening the backs of these radios be my guest, but it’s really not necessary as a simple bulldog type clip will do the trick, a lot less work and no damage, and a machine that will you still have full control of, switch on and off, volume control etc. both these units use the headphone cable as the reception ariel, so if you use a shorter cable to connect to a speaker, that should limit the natural range of reception, then anything heard is more likely to be paranormal. Please follow the link th-cam.com/video/5iKy8rnB6mg/w-d-xo.html for a full explanation, how to listen and an idea for displaying the units, so you can film and record the results.
Hi. This is an old version that is no longer available. If you can obtain a used model that’s identical follow the steps shown a Nd the hack will work. This hack won’t work with the later radios that look the same.

Good morning, I don't speak English. I see that the radio continues to stop at each station. Did I miss something? How to solve the problem? Is there a tutorial so that you understand from A to Z how to do it? Or do you have to go lucky? Thanks so much

I've seen hacked ones on ebay for 35 quid.. 😂 I think my unhacked one was about 5 pounds. I hacked it with the arduino to make it adjustable sweep. Was still semi muted tho.. if you look on the board you will see the ic2 markings sda sla pins.. hook em to a4 and a5 on the nano. And run the tea5767 sketch it completely bypasses the internal ic. So display and everything is frozen. You can power the radio from the 3v pins on the arduino too.. run it all on a 9v or sommit..

DId anyone receive a response regarding the fact that it doesn't turn off and the volume is at a minimum once you've done the hack? I'm sure things have probably changed in the 4 years since this was made, but was just wondering as I saw the question had been asked a few times :)
Good morning, sorry, it's still me 😁. I have an R-108 radiwow. Do you know this radio? Is there any way to make the change? It has two scan modes, fast and slow, it would be fine, but the mute should be removed and not stopped at each station. Do you have solutions? Thank you so much
Hi, I recently sent you an email through your website regarding a problem I am having with this tutorial. I have not received a reply yet. Anyway, here is my concern. I bought the same radio but the circuit is more up to date apparently. I made 3 connections to see if it would work, but when I made the first connection, when I turned the radio on, it froze and I couldn't turn it on. So I left the radio as before and it still works as radio ha. I would like to know if you can help me where I have to place the bridge. Thank you.
Hi i got one of these radios and hacked the same way as you showed, ,i decided to put a switch on from the Positive to positive using switch, after turning off it seem to heat up the battery withing a minute, do you have any idears what is causing this ,and how to fix the problem as i want to have a switch on it so it turns the power off right away, but when i power the radio off like i say the batteries start heating up very hot. Any help would be great full.
Now managed to find one of these radios direct from China (AliExpress)....Problem is there is no blob of solder to bridge from....Looks like they've changed the board now. :/ Any ideas would be welcomed...Many thanks in advance.

i would like to see this done with the newer Retekess PR13, they seemed to have changed their circuit/schematic so that the radio only scans or never stops scanning with this hack.. i might just use an astable multivibrator to work around this new "forbidden state", sending a pulse to ground and actually locking on to a station to get audio... nice hack.. a clamp on the tune down button would also work for this particular radio in your video

You was asking a question in hope to find an answer but had already drawn the conclusion by making such a statement. I’d be more than happy to explain the ins and outs and think you’d benefit from gaining an understanding as you seem quite conversant in building radios etc.
