 Fair starter radio January 3, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have bought several of these little radios over the years. The first one I bought, put batteries in, and turned on received Radio China, Radio Netherlands, and several other stations. I have taken them on trips and given away some to interested persons. It does ok for an inexpensive radio. AM and FM reception is good, I have not heard the TV band yet though.
 This doesn't qualify as a radio October 21, 2007

This thing does not qualify as a radio in any regard. Well .. OK, it kinda looks like one, but a the photo will work just as well as the actual item. If you're looking for your first SW radio, spend a few extra bucks and get something else. The cheapest radio you can find on Amazon from Kaito (ie the WRX911)or Eton (ie The Mini) will outperform this thing by a mile.
My recommendations for a budget SW radio .. the Kaito KA1101 or KA1102 .. both excellent performers.
It's okay... January 27, 2007

PROS- Does a lot of bands SW,MW(AM),FM w/TV band
CONS- The reception is awful. I can barely pull in any SW stations, and if I can it's hard to hear and I have to move the radio in the perfect place. FM and AM reception is fair to average. I noticed the tuning of FM is way off from where it says, for example I pick up 104.7 on what looks like 101.5 on the radio.
In conclusion, it does a lot of bands but it's reception is awful and it's hard to tune.
