Review: The Retekess V117 is quite a surprising little radio. I bought it to use as a bedside radio as I need music to help me sleep. I wanted something decent that would give good battery life. Digital displays are nice and convenient, but they drain the batteries faster. I expect good runtimes between battery changes because when this radio is turned off, it is completely off. It receives all of the FM stations that I would expect. AM is surprisingly sensitive and selective, pulling in signals from hundreds of miles away and separating stations that are 10 kHz apart. SW on this is sort of odd in that the range is 8 - 18 mHz. Too bad it is not 5 - 15 or 6 - 16 as it would be more practical. But I knew this going in. It's really a non-issue though as I have other receivers that cover full shortwave, some with single sideband. Sound quality is very good. This radio can fill a room with sound. The sound, sensitivity and selectivity are worth noting because this is a small radio that will fit in a coat pocket easily.
Review: Le son est très bon, il est facile à transporter vu sa petite taille. Avec ou sans écouteurs, fonctionne très bien. Bon achat.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know why it keeps shutting off? Battiers good.**
A: Mine has since Oct 24 when I received it.   I bought a new packet of batteries even to insure having fully charged batteries.  
This is very frustrating.  It is a nice radio when it works.   Sometimes it will stay on for 5 minutes and other times 20 seconds.
I have run it on USB port successfully for about 15 minutes and then it will shut off.    I wish I could get my money back. I like the design and features and hung in there till now, but am getting ready to just set it aside and by an analog SONY that I know will work.

**Q: How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced?**
A: Depends on how long you play the radio. I haven't replaced my batteries since I bought the radio in April 2018.

**Q: Do you need a shortwave antenna and can it be installed on this radio??**
A: Dear customer,
Thanks for your questions.
For this Retekess V117 AM FM SW radio, it doesn’t need a shortwave antenna and I’m sorry to tell you that it can’t be connected to an external antenna.
Hope it can help you. If it doesn't help, you may go to the product page, find the "Sold by Retevis Direct" under "Add to Cart" on the right side of the product page, click on “Retevis Direct”, then click the button "Ask a question" to reach out to us, we are always here for you.
