Quantum FX AM FM SW 1-9 11 Band Radio Cassette Recorder With USB - Quantum FX J101U

Though it's not mentioned anywhere the USB, SD, and cassette deck are all in stereo. The FM however is not. The tape deck records in stereo as well (though there is only one built in microphone so that's mono, of course).

The sound can be a bit on the shrill side, but the good news is that it has a tone knob that takes the edge off quite a bit. Because of that it's not bad. Of course at this price it's not exactly going to be top notch high fidelity, but for what it is it's just fine.

SD and USB slots:

The most basic of functions is the name of the game here. It has buttons for next track, previous track, and play/pause. That's it. Of course there's no screen.

it does NOT scan through a track when you hold down the "next" or "prev" buttons. It does remember the last track plaid and will start back on that track after you turn it off or switch to another function however it starts at the beginning of the track.

It is HCSD (more than 2GB) compatible.

The tuner:

The tuner is a bit better than the other Quatum FX, Supersonic, etcetera radios of this type and class that I've tried, though not top notch. The FM is quite sensitive and selective (perhaps a touch better than average), MW/AM performance is about average, and the SW bands are about what you would expect from something in this price class, if not a bit better.

Cassette deck:

It runs at the correct speed and stays there, the head azimuth is spot on, and surprisingly enough the built in microphone is reasonably sensitive yet pics up very little noise from the deck itself. It will record from the SD and USB slots in stereo. The quality of the recordings is about average for an auto level control deck.

The fast forward and rewind buttons do not function as cue and review (you can't hear the tape go backward or forwards).

Lights?

*laughs* Yes, it has flashing lights. No, they do not change by/with whatever you're playing.

All in all for the price it's fun and it does what it should.

Runs on 6 D cells, 9V barrel plug, or AC power (switchable 110/220 volts).

This unit has a lot of things it can do , you might ask does this unit do them well . I have always found out especially in some cheaper radios that they make allowances in manufacturing them . Here are some differences I have noticed !

S.W Bands

3.5mhz to 4.5mhz 75 meter band } There is not much to listen to here .

4.5mhz to 5.6mhz 60 meter band

5.6mhz to 6.7mhz 49 meter band

7.4mhz to 8.9mhz meter band not known } Not world band segment

10.2mhz to 11.5mhz meter band not known} Not world band segment

12.1mhz to 13.6mhz meter band not known} Not world band segment

13.7mhz to 14.5mhz meter band not known} Not world band segment

15.0mhz to 17.0mhz 19 meter band

20.8mhz to 22.9mhz 13 meter band } There is not much to listen to here .

A.M F.M Radio

These international world meter bands are all off frequency so you might get a O.K radio . When you get this in your hands what can you really receive other then A.M and F.M Radio stations ? The other functions work as advertised !

I have also bought a amount of the Quantum FX model J-112 Radios which I also reviewed , the J-112 radio I like a lot . The frequency is off quite a bit , but this is a continuous frequency not separate ones like the Quantum J-101U radio . So I am giving the reader an idea about this radio J-101U ! I gave this radio 2 stars because of all it does in this one package !
