Icom R71E shortwave receiver from China. The Unboxing.

There is a seller on Ebay from China who has a stack of Icom R71E shortwave receivers. His reviews are good, so I bought one ......

Uuugh, terrible styrofoam flakes are stuck everywhere, cruel packaging
the first thing would be to hygienically clean the rx
Nowadays you can have a video about operational safety sent to you in advance via wahttapp from the seller ...
nice surprise at 03:50 and the reason is not the age of 30 years! 😂 🤣 😇
SCNR...
lucky guy that the device works in the end, I grant you 😎 You got a subscription from me for that.
=> your personal quintessence? never buying used equipment unseen from the far east?

Nice radio. I always wanted one back in the mid 1980's when they were being sold new. Wish I had got one. Back then every issue of Popular Communications seemed to have an ad for it on the back cover......................One thing worth mentioning about your video though, it's probably not a good idea to show the shipping label with your name and complete address. Could give unsavory burglar-types an idea of what kind of toys might be in your house. Might be a good idea to edit your video and mask or delete that part.

@@okhamradio There is a Chinese app call "闲鱼". Loads of Icom R71Es are on sale. I recently bought one for less than 100 bucks. Almost brand new. But it has only two filters. Reception is far better than my Icom R75.
