Great review as per usual. I wish these radio manufacturers would make the lithium battery replaceable. The radio has all the features on the bands plus stereo, nice a little pricey though. I think REI still sells the C Crane Solar Observer for$50 ( my favorite emergency radio even with NiMh batteries). I’m always a sucker for emergency radios. Take care.
Test with AMT-MW207 AM transmitter to 576, 585 and 594 kHz when you tune this radio to 580 and 590 kHz, so you’ll know that bandwidth for this AM tuner on that radio or check with shortwave bands 6105 kHz for Japanese NHK broadcast and you tune to 6100 and 6110 kHz.
This radio actually can tune directly to 6.105 MHz. That is what the little 5 is for on the display. It also allows you to tell if, for example, you have a NOAA weather radio station in your area at 162.525 MHz.
Wonderful display, real stereo, and a good combo of features make this a buy... But this price here is still a little high for me. I'll probably be one of the first in line when it lowers though. Thanks for the review.
I really like 👍 all the “velvet curtain “ showings of your radios 📻. I’ve never 👎 heard of “iRonsnow” for the brand name, but this is a pretty 😍 impressive little radio 📻. Your friend, Jeff.
Todderbert the battery capacity of this orange radio also allows for the exploitation of the lighting capabilities of the devise. I remember when yellow was your favorite color for an emergency radio.
Hej Todderbert thanks for the review of the IRonsnow IR-688 love that it has shortwave and very nice battery capacity maybe a buy for me but i have the Sangean MMR-99 that i am very happy with but wish it had shortwave. Up early today they gonna do some repair work in my apartment today fix drain pipes nice one and when they open up the drains, it doesn't smell good take care Todderbert.
Oh this one's quite a looker. Orange looks great as a easy to spot color for an emergency radio. Even Stereo Speakers. Pretty awesome! Nice they even included a german translation in the manual even Weatherband is pretty useless in Germany. Cool that the reading light even turns. Sound is pretty good for the size. Seem to be using Laptop Speakers. Seeing that it also has a Scan radio feature makes me wonder... Co do you have any intentions on testing the Leehoos Emergency radio that looks like a smaller version of the Sangean MMR-99? It comes in a few color variations (Black, Sand tan, Green and Blue) and i haven't seen anyone on TH-cam reviewing it so far.
I've always had a bad relationship with ironsnow, all of the radios that I've gotten end up with the exact same issues every time. Volume knob becomes loose, large amounts of static, and tuning becomes unaligned

Emergency Shortwave Radios are like a blessing, I sure do love Shortwave!

If A.I. can solve the naming issues for Chinese companies I’ll be all in.
