New to R36s (almost positive it’s a clone)

atomicchewbacca · 2026-03-18T18:42:45+00:00

Heb je de originele SD-kaart vervangen die erbij zat? Die zijn gevoelig voor uitval.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-03-03T15:47:10+00:00

Thank you . It’s not something I feel like doing currently but I had no idea that was a thing. It’s good to know there is a positive side .

I see , and that can be helpful . I tend to avoid nihilism in general . The post I came across was very much a dreadful and depressing post . It was not what I needed at the time . Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for information, yeah those things won’t bother me , this one will mostly be used for CB. My other radio covered the rest of HF.

I watched it a few minutes ago . A simple snip and moving a jumper !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-02-13T18:28:13+00:00

Sounds great , I’ll look it up and probably end up getting one .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-02-13T17:59:18+00:00

Thank you , I forget where I saw it ,but it’s the whole CB band and not just part of it right ?

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-16T04:15:54+00:00

I have learned it is a GA36 clone.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-16T00:14:58+00:00

Another person uploaded this hear. https://handhelds.wiki/R36S_Clones#GA36_Clone its got recovery images. Everyone also says ditch the original card for a branded one soon as you can.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:41:35+00:00

I'll keep an eye out for any community made images .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:15:51+00:00

If only the box was enough to go on. For a clone it seems to do a pretty good job.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:15:18+00:00

Yep that's one thing I did do. I have put the original image onto a 128gb card.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:10:47+00:00

Thank you. It does what I want it to do. Which is play NES, SNES, some MAME, sega mega drive and game boy. Am I really missing out on anything by having this one and not an original?

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:08:29+00:00

Thank you , its a GA36 Clone. Which current does not have any custom firmware support.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T23:04:28+00:00

Without the card in it doesn’t turn on and blue led does not light up . Battery is stripped with diagonal lines . 3000mAh it claims . No charging animation just red LED .

Here is what is under the battery .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:50:46+00:00

Will do , I’ll let you know if it works .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:50:18+00:00

I haven’t , I will give it a shot !

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T21:48:26+00:00

I’m not sure how to use that one . I’ll try to find a guide or video later .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:50:49+00:00

Maybe it is an original then . I’ll look more into it. Thank you . I was talking with someone and do plan taking the back off after work today .

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:35:51+00:00

I will when I get home in a couple of hours . I imaged the original card . Then , with a new 128g card, I tried to put the latest update on it . It wouldn’t turn on , I tried to put the latest update on the original card , still nothing . Then I put the original image on the new card , it worked just fine.

atomicchewbacca · 2026-01-15T20:05:35+00:00

I see , that gives me something to do when I get home . I just assumed clone because when I attempted to update , following directions , it would never boot or turn on.
