Thanks for this roundup, especially letting us know about the podcast.
I’m thinking that it would be good for QRP rigs that don’t have a speaker like QCX Mini.
I discovered another very handy feature of the Retekess v115… it can also record your qso’s while in auxiliary mode. A lot of handy features for a $22 external speaker… I mean digital recorder… I mean multi-band radio.
… I mean .mp3 player…
Wow–that’s an amazing bonus feature!
Thanks for sharing, Jamie!
I’ve been using mine for this for a while. Funny to hear I’m not the only one that feels it’s well suited to this. Works great with the (tr)u-sdx as well. The one I have is quite old, and is under the Tivdio brand, but still works great@
