XHDATA D219 Portable AM FM Shortwave Radio Battery Operated Small Great Reception Radio with Good Sound,Earphone Jack for Elder,Home,Child [Gray]

As a long time radio ham, I've owned many phenomenal receivers. The radio isn't one of them. But, for the low cost, this radio is amazing. It's well made, easy to use, and will easily receive shortwave stations from around the globe. The standard medium-wave band reception is very good. From upstate NY I'm able to receive stations from hundreds of miles away with great clarity. The FM band is amazing, with many stations all across the dial. It isn't FM stereo, but even distant stations come in loud & clear. I've been a shortwave listener for over 60 years, and this little radio does a good job pulling in stations from all over the world. While there aren't as many shortwave stations as there were years ago, there is still a lot of activity on the 9 international shortwave bands available on this little radio. It operates for many, many hours on 2 AA-cells, and the telescopic antenna for FM & SW is of very high quality. If you're looking for a versatile, fun little radio for yourself or as a gift, don't hesitate to buy one of these. I enjoy mine on my backyard patio in the evening. As someone mentioned in another review, it's great for a language student to hear actual foreign broadcasts. I can highly recommend this little powerhouse portable radio.

As described, working fine and using external AC power adapter for my setup. Packaging and shipping was fine and the item arrived safely. Reception and sound is good and the compact size suits my location. Controls are easy to use. No issues. I use it every workday for about 8 hrs a day.

Fabuloso radio de baterías, tiene excelente sintonía y una duración de la batería increíble, hace más de un mes con las mismas baterías , lo escucho como 4 horas al día por las mañanas y sigue sonando de lo lindo con las mismas baterías pilas AA. Lo recomiendo mil por ciento.

Very good receiption .

El radio se escucha bien, solo que debo probarlo por más días ya que tanto de AM como FM se escucha bien, de la onda corta aún debo probarla porque no he escuchado buena señal, de todo lo demás está bien, es de buenos materiales aunque no incluyen baterías para que contemplen a la hora de comprar. Lo bueno es que llegó en el rango de la fecha acordada.
