Bench Overview: Today on the bench, we’re unboxing and testing the brand-new CHOYONG LC100 multi-band radio. After running the older LC90 for years, this updated unit brings long-awaited improvements across AM, FM, LW, SW, and Internet radio functions. We’re giving it a proper hands-on evaluation to see if it earns a permanent place in the shop.
Key Takeaways:
* All-In-One Coverage: Combines traditional analog and shortwave tuning with modern Wi-Fi internet streaming into a single, compact unit.
* Refined Successor: Directly addresses older LC90 limitations with improved controls, better reception capabilities, and years of hardware tweaks.
* Shop Utility: Makes a practical, versatile bench receiver for background audio, monitoring shortwave bands, or pulling in distant signals during long shop sessions.
