Here is a Ritmix RPR-7011 portable AM FM SW1,2 radio bought by me a week back.
Ritmix is a local Russian brand selling electronic goods made for it in China and may be other places.
A video of my newly acquired Ritmix RPR-7011 which is a simple radio but not without pleasant surprises, of which after the video.
As I say Ritmix places orders in China, and I don't know about its other products, but its radios are rebadged versions of renowned Degen and Tecsun models.
In fact, you can see in the video that the description on the box says this radio is even made by Tecsun General Electric Manufacture (although it is a Degen model). Other Ritmix radios may be made by different manufacturers.
The Russian radio hobbyist community has established that this Ritmix RPR-7011 is the rebadged Degen DE 319.
But there is more, the previous model of this Ritmix radio was apparently a clone of the Degen DE 319A, an unremarkable analog radio, but this current model is the enhanced Degen DE 319 DSP.
DSP stands for digital signal processing and DSP technology ensures stable reception, tuning and sound and is encased in a DSP microchip developed by Silicon Labs.
There are several hints that it is a DSP model and one of them is the little inscription you can see on the radio dial if you look at it at an angle.
It says DE319DSP.
And here is a picture borrowed from a Russian radio forum.
I don't know that much about radio technology being mainly a consumer of finished products but apparently there is a si4836 microchip (si4836 PDF) connected to all bands, so this radio combines analog radio with digital tuning and signal processing.
Good for tuning to FM stations here in Moscow where the FM band is literally crammed full with transmitters.
Another bonus is it has a three-LED flash light on one side, see the video.
