First-Person Review:
“As a seasoned ham operator, I’ve tested my share of receivers, and the Retekess TR113 has quickly become a favorite. Setting it up was straightforward, and the real-time spectrum display is a game-changer for finding active signals quickly. The sensitivity on HF blew me away—picking up faint DX signals that my older rig missed entirely.
I love the built-in DSP features; the noise reduction and auto-notch filters really clean up the audio, especially when dealing with QRM or adjacent channel interference. The CW mode is exceptionally precise, and I appreciated the ability to fine-tune with the RIT/XIT controls during contests.
Another highlight is the portable design. I’ve taken it out for field days powered by a small battery pack, and it performed just as well as it does in the shack. The build quality is solid, and the touch screen interface is intuitive, though I still prefer the tactile feedback of physical knobs.
If you’re looking for an all-mode receiver that delivers superb performance without breaking the bank, the TR113 is worth every penny. It’s versatile, reliable, and, most importantly, a joy to use on the air. Highly recommended for any ham enthusiast!”
