XHDATA D-808 Professional Portable Radio | FM Stereo/SW/MW/LW/Air Band Coverage with SSB RDS | High Sensitivity, External Antenna 2000mAh Rechargeable Battery | Dual Alarm Clock, Sleep Timer & Squelch

I’m loving the compact D-808! It arrived yesterday and already I’ve had lots of fun filling memory slots, testing the various features (FM, MW, Air band, LSB and USB, connecting to a cheap AN-80 wire antenna). Despite being a novice, I’ve watched Fred in the Shed and other Youtubers, so set up was easy. I haven’t gone through the manual yet, but it looks pretty comprehensive as long as you have good eyesight. Highlights so far? Amazing sensitivity on FM, SW and Air band. I’m quite near Heathrow, but was able to pick up various other airport transmissions including Northolt, in addition to ATC traffic galore. The memory storage is huge, is not difficult to fill using auto storage, and you can transfer stations between pages easily. The RDS is very quick and really adds to the FM experience. Downsides? I bought the grey version, and the red secondary functions above most buttons are hard to read in poor light. Also, and no surprise on such a compact unit, the built in speaker lacks some low end output, but is really not too bad. There is also no Bluetooth, but I’ve ordered a BT transmitter so I can hopefully use a standalone speaker or BT headphones. Overall, this beautifully crafted little radio (which did come with an 18650 button-top battery) is easy to use, very sensitive, and sensibly priced for the superb quality of reception in all the bands. It should be easy for any member of the family or travelling with the smart carry case, while also satisfying the needs of those getting into the SW hobby. Thoroughly recommended.

A compact very nicely made radio covering A wide range of broadcasts. MW, LW (but note BBC no longer transmits R4 on LW), FM with RDS, SW broadcast bands with selectable bandwidth and Air band for pilot/control tower exchanges. Sensitivity is very good as is audio reproduction. Tuning - individual frequencies can simply be keyed in or Bands can be scanned up and down by buttons. There is also a tuning knob. with fast or slow rate. Stations can easily be stored in pages and numbers within pages for each band. There is also SSB (selectable USB/LSB operation) for amateur and professional SW users, and useful details such as customising what appears on the display - you can have signal strength or temperature as well as the default station frequency and time. A throw out aerial wire is provided along with soft carrying bag and instruction booklet. There is a 3.5 mm jack for earphone/ headset listening but phones not provided. Alarms can be set but I have not tried this out so far. Overall an amazingly full featured and enjoyable radio at a very good price. Very highly recommended.

I haven't used a shortwave receiver for about 15 years - my previous receiver was a Sangean ATS-803A, which is a well-regarded receiver I had owned since the "golden years" of shortwave broadcasting. I only sold it because it no longer received anything at all on SW (though moving to a block of flats may have contributed). I am well aware that many countries no longer make international broadcasts on shortwave. However, I have been reading up on this recently, and I felt that it was worth trying one of the new DSP/SDR receivers which are now available at reasonable prices. The supplied "long wire" isn't really long enough, but works reasonably well. Using the XHDATA long wire antenna I purchased separately makes a big difference. So far, I have listened to English broadcasts from the USA, China, Turkey, Vatican City and Romania, and I have also heard Spanish and Indian broadcasts as well, all in acceptable sound quality. There are many other stations available, in various languages. Within this price range, I wasn't expecting much. Continuous tuning from 150 KHz to 30000 KHz would have been better (without this, it's not possible to receive e.g. numbers stations or VOLMET broadcasts); likewise, SSB would have been better if it had separate switches for LSB/USB, and a BFO would have helped as well. However, SSB is of lesser importance to me than the broadcast bands are. Judging by reports online, it appears that the manual has been rewritten recently, and is apparently much easier to folow. I had no problems with setup, but I am an experienced SWLer - beginners may still find it a little confusing. Overall, I recommend this receiver, with some reservations. I think it's a good starter receiver, and I am already researching antennae/receivers with more advanced features. So it looks like SW never went away after all! ETA: it appears that it IS possible to search for stations outside the broadcast bands; however, this requires you to enter an exact frequency at the beginning/end of a specific band, and then use the dial to search for stations manually. The user manual doesn't appear to suggest that this is possible, but it is!. I found this out by accident :)

So I got this XHDATA radio, (another one - I know!) but this is probably their best all round set - the XHDATA D-808. First off, the sound on this thing is really clear. The built-in speaker’s got some decent oomph to it – you’re not left straining to hear, even if there’s a bit of noise about. Using the Bandwidth button can also improve the sound. It picks up all sorts of stations too, so whether you’re after FM, MW, or all the shortwave stuff, it’s got you sorted - including Air Band, and Single Side Band - so cool for amateur radio listening & other SSB broadcasts. Size-wise, it’s quite neat - just big enough to feel sturdy but not a faff to carry around. Fits right in my small shoulder sports bag, which is a great for taking it down the allotments or on a weekend away. There’s even a 3.5mm headphone jack, so if you’re in the garden or on the bus, you can stick your headphones in and listen away without bothering folks around you. Charging it’s a doddle too – comes with a USB-C cord, and there’s a decent battery in it, so you’re not forever hunting for a plug. It lasts ages once it’s charged, mind, which is ideal if you’re outdoors a lot. It’s got some belting extras as well – there’s an automatic scan function, so it finds and saves loads of stations for you (up to 100 per band, they reckon). You can even set it as an alarm clock, which I wasn’t expecting – either a nice gentle radio wake-up or a buzzer if you’re a heavy sleeper. It’s dead handy with the time display, too – you can set it yourself or it’ll do it for you if it picks up the RDS signal (on FM). Comes with everything you’d need – USB cord, long wire antenna, battery (just remember to take that little bit of paper out before using), and even a carry bag to keep it safe. Plus, there’s a 12-month warranty, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong. All in all, it’s cracking value for money. Decent sound, loads of features, and portable enough for wherever you’re headed. I've included loads of different pictures in the review. I mean, it looks very stylish as well 👍 Also, I can only upload one video with Amazon - so did a quick shortwave scan when I was out in the garden - picking up several international broadcasters. I still haven't got through experiencing everything on the radio as there's so much to play with and enjoy! 👍😀 But... I'm so enthused about it... lol... I just wanted to tell you all about it! So - "Yes" - I would highly recommend the XHDATA D-808. In my view it's probably the best one they make, and from what I've experienced so far of it I don't think there's a better one (made by anyone) that performs well and is such a great price 👍😀 Get one today!

I was looking for a portable radio I could use to (besides regular FM stuff) listen air bands and a couple of domestic radio stations on MW I can use at home and outside of home. Some SW optionally. I did a comprehensive research of options under €100, including web articles, lots of youtube reviews and found that this one and Radiwow R108D fit my needs. I gave the XHDATA a try and was positively surprised with what I've got for this price. What I like in this radio: - the overall quality. Doesn't look cheap. - perfect quality on FM. - RDS on FM (though I don't care about RDS at all). - air band reception is acceptable and isn't worse than LiveATC streams. - Squelch for air band (squelch isn't available in other bands, it is air only). It may slightly reduce the quality, but not much and it does what it should: stays silent when there is no transmission. - battery capacity. Worked for almost a week (listening around 4hrs a day) without recharging. I have a range of tools that use 18650 batteries, so replacement (if necessary) isn't a problem for me. Some people like standard batteries you can buy everywhere, I'm fine with 18650. Micro USB charger port is convenient. Keep in mind that charger isn't included in package, only short cord. - decent speaker sound for portable radio. I get a good FM stereo in headset. - SSB in SW. I'm not a huge fan of SW, but there are several stations that use SSB (either, USB or LSB) - fine tuning is a big deal, especially in SW/MW. - built-in telescopic antenna is large enough for portable radio. The package includes external (3.5mm jack, 2m long) antenna, but it make a difference (over telescopic) in SW only. - memory size: it has a lot of space to save stations in every band. What is not perfect (may be biased or is my own problem): - quite average reception quality in MW (I'm listening a couple of stations in MW). External antenna doesn't help much and it really depends on where I am in my apartments. - user manual is very short, however it was sufficient to me to find and use features I needed. The manual requires some background radio usage knowledge which may not be suitable for very beginners. Bottom line: I think this radio is one of the best on portable "under €100" radio market. It provides plenty of functions which you may not find in most of non-portable radios. In overall it exceeded my expectations. It does everything what I need and even more.

Great compact radio with very good build quality. I bought it for monitoring air band pilot chatter and it works well for that combined with some websites. The short wave spectrum is amazing for listening to world radio broadcasts from New Zealand to Tobago. It's a fine skill as it depends on time of day and frequency but I recommend you read the website short-wave DOT info (replace DOT with . ) and the tab called propagation. The site will list all the world stations and frequencies theybarevtransmitting in , a but like the TV guide but for radio. PROS: Great quality, retractable antenna, small, built in rechargeable battery that charges with a mobile phone charger CONS: Would have been awesome if it had Bluetooth connectivity so I could link it to my wireless earphones.

This is a good quality receiver that does what it says on the box. Not cheap, but worth the money. All bands work well and unit is sensitive, but not driven to distortion. Positive points..... All.... Bad points... The only negative points is that it could be a little larger and the manual needs a magnifying glass to read it... But do read the manual.. If you want to listen to shortwave, amateurs and aircraft, this is great for indoor use, unlike my Yaesu.. NOTE... I have not received anything for this recommendation. Addendum.... Still pleased and the air and is sensitive.... Biggest problem so far encountered.... Using the memory... Not intuitive... Further update.. Is it possible to turn the alarm off? Normally a short push stops the alarm and a long push cancels the alarm on all clocks.. Nope.... No matter what I do, it just keeps turning itself back on! There is nothing in the manual about it either and just to prove the point, my wife has tried and failed... This is not good design and totally unnecessary. Eventually, we found by trial and error that the AL symbol doesn't mean the alarm is on or off, there is a minute sign that I cannot even see with reading glasses on.... So much for sight impaired people..

Wow! This little radio is unbelievable, packed with so many different features. It's very sensitive and picks up many stations on Short Wave, even with the attached whip antenna! The video attached was taken at midnight here in the U.K during an alleged solar storm with some sensationalist social media folk claiming global radio blackouts! If that's true then this lovely radio has exceptional reception! The radio arrived in excellent packaging, very secure and had a long journey arriving with no damage, in the box you get the radio, a comprehensive user manual in a variety of languages, the English is correct and easily navigated. The radio is of a very high quality, a little bit larger than the D-368 and not much heavier. The buttons are easy to operate and are well labelled, the scroll wheels have no wobble, switching between bands is simple and the display is bright and clear. MW has minimal activity...that's not the radio fault! LW is also very quiet. SW is a hive of activity in the evening, it's very therapeutic listening in to the world! Once you have a basic understanding of radio receiving you can then start to delve into the technicalities of this little powerhouse! Change bandwidth, explore the SSB, squelch, fine tuning...it's got it all! FM is very, very good! RDS on the frequency if the station is transmitting the info, the inbuilt speaker is astounding for it's size, a rich stereo sound through headphones, battery life is also excellent! I really love this radio, the only downside (not a negative) is as with all DSP radios...the soft muting, if you definitely don't want that then I highly recommend the D-368 for smooth tuning. XHDATA are an excellent company and I've had contact with their customer service who do reply quickly and are very polite, eager to help and offer excellent support. In summary....high quality radio, beautiful FM sounds, highly sensitive SW (for me anyway), no issues at all and I highly recommend this radio. It is quality!

La Xhdata D-808 es una radio multibanda capaz de sintonizar, con más o menos éxito dependiendo del lugar donde la utilices, emisoras o frecuencias FM, AM, Onda Corta, Banda Aérea y Onda Larga. Un breve resumen de mi experiencia con cada banda: • La recepción 𝐅𝐌 es impecable, buen sonido, nada de ruido y si la estación lo permite la radio te indica el nombre de la misma y el nombre del programa en ese momento, gracias al RDS. Es bastante potente y te permite escuchar de forma clara emisoras situadas a 31km del lugar de recepción, sin embargo por la noche su escucha será un poco más complicada debido a interferencias de estaciones aún más lejanas. También tiene la opción de sintonizar frecuencias a partir de 64MHz. • Su rendimiento en la recepción de frecuencias 𝐀𝐌 es también destacable, incluso durante el día, pero sin embargo, su máximo potencial se obtiene de noche. Es por la noche cuando, con únicamente con la antena interna y en zona urbana, he sido capaz de captar señales como la de BBC 5 desde el sur de España de forma clara. Por lo que su potencial para el dxing no hace falta ser explicado. • La recepción de frecuencias de 𝐎𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚 es sin duda alguna el punto fuerte de esta radio. La radio te permite captar frecuencias desde 1711 khz hasta 29999khz. Gracias a la incorporación de SSB y USB se podrán oír frecuencias de radioaficionados, ejércitos, centros meteorológicos, etc. En cuanto a la recepción general de Onda Corta hay que indicar que la radio te permite ajustar el ancho de banda para obtener una mejor calidad de audio (personalmente siempre lo tengo en 4K para diluir ruido y obtener un sonido decente). No es necesaria una antena externa para la recepción de emisoras comerciales, pero sí que es recomendable especialmente si se vive en una zona urbana, aunque sólo con la antena interna se puede escuchar con buenos resultados (dependiendo de tu ubicación geográfica) Voice of América, NHK World, China Radio International, etc. • La 𝐎𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐀𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐲 𝐎𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚 en general más complicadas de captar, de nuevo dependiendo de tu ubicación, tienen un sonido un poco más débil que en el resto de bandas, con mejores resultados por la noche. En cada una de sus bandas la radio te permite guardar bastantes señales, por lo que siempre tendrás tus emisoras favoritas guardadas y podrás sintonizar sin problema nuevas estaciones. La radio también incluye una opción para alarma (que se puede desactivar pulsando varias veces el botón de apagar hasta que aparezca la palabra "on" cuando se encienda la radio). La vida de la batería es también un plus para esta radio, ya que te puede durar con un uso intenso al menos 2 semanas y media. Realmente la única pega que le encuentro es que en ocasiones el reloj de la radio se cambia solo y lo tengo que volver a configurar manualmente. Por lo tanto recomiendo su compra encarecidamente ya que verdaderamente es una muy buena radio multibandas portátil que puedes llevar contigo a cualquier lugar y sin preocuparte de la batería. Para finalizar recomiendo adquirirla cuando esté rebajada y utilizarla con una antena externa para desbloquear su máximo potencial, aunque repito que no es realmente necesario.

Radio vraiment Parfait

Conforme. Acheter pour capter les fax météo BLU. En cours d'essais. Le tuner FM semble performant. Seul défaut fonctionnel noté à ce jour, le réglage de l'heure ne reste pas en mémoire; Aspect correct dans l'ensemble mais le marquage de certaines touches est peu visible. Bonne autonomie de la batterie

Den fungerar utmärkt och har bra känslighet på FM och även KV, SSB/CW. Batterkapaciteten är mycket bra. Något besvärligt när man ska ställa in korrekt pitch för SSB-lyssning.
