Portable AM FM Shortwave Radio,Battery Operated Radio by 4D Cell Batteries or AC Power Transistor Radio with LCD Display,Time Setting,3.5mm Earphone Jack,Big Speaker,High/Low Tone for Home,Gift

We like this radio alot for it's simplicity, convenience, and clean reception (digital tuning) in our rural location. Claimed battery life (4D bats) of 400 hours is a plus if it pans out. The fact that it has a clock is a bonus. Have used Sonys for years (three of the same model), but first impression is that this radio is equal or better at a surprisingly low price!

Tout fonctionne! Très léger! Son convenable (sérieux je suis agréablement surpris)! Pour le prix… je recommande fortement!

Le cadran numérique est idéal pour bien choisir un poste spécifique à écouter. Le grand haut parleur et le cadran numérique avec un minimum de boutons inutiles dont on ne se sert jamais, voilà pourquoi j'ai acheter ce radio. A MON PREMIER COMMENTAIRE J'AJOUTERAIS CECI: l'inconvénient que je trouve pour ce radio c'est que l'écran n'est pas rétro-éclairé. Mais pour le reste je l'adore.

My work is mobile. No matter where I have gone around town this radio works wonderfully. The reception is great and the sound clear. Great volume control. It's well put together. Very solid and sturdy materials used in its construction. The size is perfect. It carries easily. It's lightweight. I feel for the quality of the radio that it was a good value. I wish I had bought it a long time ago. I've been enjoying my music and talk radio everyday now since I purchased it. I love it.

You know what's weird? I thought I already wrote a review on this. This turned out to be a very good receiver, with good sensitivity in the shortwave bands, which is what I got it for. The display is large and easy to read, but it is a little course in the tuning. You have to have a slow and deliberate hand to find stations with it. It uses DSP tuning so stations just 'pop in', when you hit them. With weaker stations, this can cause them to pop in and out due to skip or frequency drift. There's not really any automatic fine tuning or anything that seems to be able to remedy this with. This radio only tunes am stations in the shortwave bands, NO SSB or anything like that. However those shortwave station you find will tune in pretty well. It does exactly what it is meant to do with a little patience. The AM and FM bands are better than you might think. I can pick up AM station all over the country at night when conditions are right. The FM also has a good set of ears. I'm picking up stations all over the state that other radios don't even register. Tuner implementation is pretty good, with a strong front end, grabbing those far away signals with little trouble. The battery life on the thing is incredible. I have yet to run down my first set. I've had it a while and listen on and off. Every now and then I get the itch to see what's going on in the shortwave spectrum. It also has it's own cord and uses a linear power supply inside, so you don't get RF noise when it's plugged in. It's pretty easy to take places and is well self contained. I've taken it out camping a few times to keep track of news and weather. Plus, away from civilization, the shortwave band is really good. No AC noise from the doings of man, so to speak. I guess the last thing would be the sound quality, and I would say that for its use case, the sound is quite good. It has a proper speaker and I have had no trouble being able to hear both voice and music. Audio is quite good. Hope this helps someone.
