I have the same radio but called the ETON 750, love the looks, still building outdoor antenna system and waiting for coax connectors. Radio seems to be NOT sold anymore, discontinued ??? I got mine from Amazon over a year ago. Haven't really used that much so not really sure of what it can do, will play more when I get ext antenna up and my MFJ595C antenna tuner hooked to it.
Yes, it is definitely better with all new electronics. But the 2000 is a great radio too. Just that the 2200x is much better. I have both now and probably never use the 2000 again. Have a great day.
@@hamrad88 thank you. The only thing that bothers me about the 2200X and that keeps me from buying it is that on the SSB HAM bands, at the precise moment when the operator speaks it suddenly crackles a little loudly and makes me jump. There was no such "problem" on the TECSUN S2000. I have noticed this phenomenon on several TECSUn however and I can't explain what this is due to.... have a nice day
Where do you live? I can get that Nashville station really strong here in Wisconsin sometimes and other times not at all. The WRMI frequencies from Okeechobee are almost always strong here no matter what time of the day. Same with Radio Marti from Greenville, SC.
Another early reviewer of this radio needed to calibrate the radio to get best reception. I'm not saying yours is off calibration, but you might want to check the manual and run the calibration steps for good measure. Cheers!
This is a universal all-wave receiver that perfectly receives on short waves, in addition to broadcasting stations, also radio amateurs, airline crews over the oceans, maritime communications, military, weather stations and more. There is none of that in this video review
I am not very well versed in shortwave, I was a CB'er years ago. Never went beyond that. However this example had nothing from Europe. My only radio interest is 2-way communication, and possibly listening to European 1-way broadcasts that I might be able to translate with my minimal foreign language knowledge. Is shortwave not something that would fit my parameters?
There are many variables that effect shortwave listening. Things such as location of your receiving radio, time of day, etc. Right now the weather conditions at my location have not been ideal especially solar. There are a large number of stations in Europe to listen to. The best way to try is using other people radios that are on the internet. Websites such as Kiwi SDR is one of many. See my other videos on these.
I'm disappointed with Tecsun's incremental upgrades over its previous S-2000. Why does the external looks have to look exact like the vintage Grundig Satelit 750? Tecsun could have at least changed to a wider LCD display, offer adjustable backlit illumination colors (many handheld ham transceivers are able to do that!) or even replace the LCD panel with a color TFT one that could show an intermediate frequency waterfall display like the Malahit DSP SDRs could. *Note to Tom:* Tecsun always supplies the cheapest lithium ion batteries it can get. These often fall short of their true capacity when diagnosed with specialized battery chargers like the Liitokala M4 and XTAR VC4SL, which can perform a capacity test. That blue 2600 mAH OEM battery that Tecsun includes is considered "substandard" by flashlight and vaping enthusiasts and can't handle high constant currents. I have one from my PL-990 and my high lumen, Wurkkos and Sofirn flashlights behaved erratically when I tried that 18650 cell that came from Tecsun. At this time of writing, only XTAR and VapCell brands make *true* 4,000 mAH 18650 cells. Neither are exactly cheap, but if it means being able to power the S-2200x for many more hours before that battery indicator drops to the 2/3rds mark, they may be worth the money. 🙂
I know this is a great radio. I just can't justify a purchase right now. Thank you for the vid and taking the time to make it and upload it. !!
Understand and you are welcome. Have a great day.
Pretty neat radio, Tom. Thank you for sharing your experience with the radio with us!
Toms radio room show your TH-cam videos are awesome my friend
Use AM ATT button in the middle to eliminate the noisy signals in the ATS process...
Thank you.
Toms radio room show i wish you 73s my friend that means best wishes

This is not the same radio. Tecsun has completely redesigned a brand new radio and put it in the same enclosure as your Eton 750.
Tom's radio room i learn lot from you about shortwave receivers and antenna for shortwave receivers and what to lisn to on shortwave and ssb my friend
More spam

Hello Tom, nice video, do you think it is better than TECSUN S2000 ? Greetings from France 😀
Yes, it is definitely better with all new electronics. But the 2000 is a great radio too. Just that the 2200x is much better. I have both now and probably never use the 2000 again. Have a great day.

@@aureliusprimus Thanks for the information and have a great day.
How does it perform on SSB ? Any noticeable distortion?
I still think it's priced a bit too high.
No. Doing some testing now. Will upload show.
Why did Tecsun feel compelled to include an airplane on the "AIR" button?

@@hamrad88 That partially answers me, but what about 2-way????
@rayrussell6258 2 way are on different frequencies.
@@hamrad88 but is it on shortwave?
How does it work through the radio you just bought?
or does it require different equipment?
@@rayrussell6258 if you want two way, you have to use different equipment.
