It looks beautiful, however be warned the sensitivity is woeful ( the Tecsun PL 660 is far better) and if you use ordinary batteries ( not rechargeable) it eats them up. Would return if I could but it is past the return date.
Shortwave signal weak. work fine only with external antenna. finishing in the cabinet is regular,rf gain is low, not work properly.
audio quality is good,in general is a good radio,only shortwave has poor reception
High consumption of battery
The original Sangean radio was defective and had to be returned. Prompt and helpful service from Customer Sarvice made the experience better. This radio is one of the best portable AM/FM Shortwave radios on the market.
As good as it gets in a portable. Only 2 negatives, fairly easily fixed. The wide AM bandwidth is specified at 6 KHz, but sounds like 4 KHz. Radiolabs has a Clearmod modification where they replace the wide filter with a 7 KHz filter. Sounds much better.
FM performance; RDS performance; Long battery life; No noise with external charger; Variable RF Gain Control instead of fixed switch; External antenna performance excellent; SSB tuning and audio quality exceptional; Very nice and large display; Easy to operate
Some loss of sensitivity on SW on the whip antenna; wide AM bandwidth needs to be wider
It's easy to utilize it's many features as explained in the 30+ page manual. This will come in handy during those emergency situations without electricity.
This is a first rate portable SW Radio and should be seriously considered when shopping for world band receiver. My real problem is third party sellers turning Amazon.ca into a glorified dumping ground for overpriced product; and Amazon allowing it to happen.
Marvellous item. I liked it.
