Our Mission: Keep connected while you are enjoying the outdoors.

We all could use a little more time outdoors. When we get off the couch and take our eyes off the screen, we can see some beautiful things. Even when we are enjoying the outdoors it can be nice to have a few modern comforts.

From shortwave radios to emergency radios, weather stations to solar panels, and everything in between, we offer a line of outdoor and emergency-preparedness products to keep you safe or just let you enjoy the outdoors while staying connected to the rest of the world.

We believe that preparing for whatever comes next is as important as enjoying the outdoors.

Be prepared, get Raddy, and HAVE FUN!

In the old days, a shortwave radio was a major desk fixture. These days, you can get truly diminutive radios. However, most of them only have AM capability (that is, no simple way to receive single-sideband or SSB signals)  and — maybe — the ability to pick up FM broadcast.  Small radios also often have no provision for an external antenna which can be crucial for shortwave radios. [Farpoint Farms] shows off the Raddy RF7860 which is a palm-sided radio, but it has the elusive sideband modes and an external antenna port and wire antenna. It even has a rechargeable battery.

Reading the comments, it appears this is a rebadged version of a HanRongDa HRD 747 radio. Of course, there are other smaller radios with sideband reception like the Tecsun PL368, but they aren’t this small.  If you are in the market for a really tiny shortwave radio, this might be the thing for you.

Of course, the question is what you want to listen to on the shortwave bands these days. There are fewer and fewer broadcasters on shortwave, especially those that broadcast to a general audience. However, if there is something you want to hear, pairing this radio with a good portable antenna, would do the job.
