I really appreciate the updated review and if I were in the market for a radio, I'd be much more inclined to get one of these than before. The firmware updates are a big deal. As it is, my Tecsun PL-990 with Bluetooth plus my iPhone do the same thing and I have too many radios already.
It's almost there for general shortwave. Hopefully, they'll be able to fix the SSB tuning problem soon. For outdoor external antenna overloading of the radio, have you considered using an adjustable antenna signal attenuator? That could be a solution well worth trying. I find the blocking of radio broadcasts to be quite sad. One controlled viewpoint is not good. 😲
Hi Gill, thanks for your updated review. Yes, the Choyong LC90 does seem very nice and better now, so I think I will buy this radio. I love the nice features it has. I agree with you, Gill. I also think this radio isn't that expensive considering what you get. So yes, it's a nice combo radio with internet radio. I love that. Take care, Gill, and have a lovely day.
I'm on the West Coast, and we've got very little SW broadcast to listen to. AM DX can be a lot of fun. And there's the crowd on the beaches in winter catching MW from Korea etc al around dawn with loops or ferrite external antennas. Does the FM offer adjustable bandwidth? There are no vacant frequencies where I live. Hard to catch skip.
If you looking for a Radio Stand, this $5 "Tablet Stand Desktop Adjustable Stand For iPad Pro " By Bexin , does a fantastic job. Quite sturdy. Can hold CCRadio EP Pro as well. I use it for my Sangean PR-D4
As I said before, due to the LC90's shortcomings still, I am glad I did return mine to Amazon. Where is RDS, and which would it not connect to my WiFi, but it tethered to my phone, because of my security. I agree that the inputs could be placed on the other blank side. Thanks. 😊
I have version 4.4; it doesn't update over the air - when I try as instructed, radio tells me there is no update. I go to the Choyong website and it says 4.5 download is available but when I click on it, it is a 4.4 version that is downloaded. Really great to see the 4.5 update review; wish I could get 4.5 onto my LC90.
Question? I have a Version 4.0 to update via Wifi I insert a TF card or Sim Card. I have seen two videos to update , One with TF and One with Sim. I just want the 4.4 or and 4.5 updates. Thanks!
The firmware upgrade is a major improvement. Your review was fair and accurate. This radio is on the way to becoming an outstand radio.
The reason they have everything in one side is to improve sound quality. Nice radio. Innovative.
I do like this review. Very thoughtful, wide-ranging, objective, and well presented.

True using the smart phone and 990 does turn it into a smart radio

A kind of all-in-one radio for sure and the improvements they are making may well put this radio up there with the modern classics.

I’ll wait a little while and see if the price goes down. If it does I’ll probably buy it.
Hello. Could you please show us how to get the update. Thank you. Ron z. WA3090SWL.

you should recommend air band also apart of the ssb

That is bizarre. mine did see the update as soon as I clicked to check the firmware
Still no Air Band...
Where would you buy this
The SSB flaw for me is a deal breaker. Maybe they’ll fix it.
Some times when you select your favorites on AM, the signal is not working, you need to move the dial up and down, and then you can listen the signal.

Update via WiFi? Can you show how?
Sounds like this would be nearly impossible for a blind person to operate… I’m assuming it doesn’t have a voiceover option?
Unfortunately this radio does not have voice over, could be something to request
Gracias por la Informacion , Es bonita la Radio pero para mi no la quiero.73
Needs a vpn! 😂
