Review: Great quality build, function, and no buying batteries plus an unbeatable price point. - This radio is awesome considering price and the crisp, clear sound it makes. Receiver sensitivity is very good and controls are well thought out for user friendliness and function. Read the included owner manual because at first the various buttons seemed odd. After a couple minutes though, I realized what the designer had in mind and it's nicely done. All bands work equally well, depending of course upon your location. A specially designed single wire auxillary antenna is included and if reception isn't ideal for your needs use this! An alligator clip on one end clamps to the base of the telescopic antenna. The far end is configured in a small loop which has a metal sleeve over the wire loop and with a bit of experimental positioning your reception becomes perfect with no status whatsoever on the Fm band. At least in my experience. I mainly listen to 2 college radio stations which by definition are of much lower power unlike the commercial stations running 50,000 watts so this can be an example of how good the radio pulls in and locks onto signals. The Am and shortwave bands both received well also but small amounts of static will be present as is the nature of those formas of propagation. That said, I have had many other more expensive radios which some signals just fade in and out or we're simply not enjoyable to listen to. Being an amateur radio licensee, I have several expensive radios for many varied bands and modes so I have a bit of experience with bringing in radio signals. For the price point of ZHIWHIS PORTABLE RADIO, AM, FM STEREO, SHORTWAVE RADIO and it's very nice sound, and also the seemingly high quality build and included aux. antenna, and rechargeable USB battery, I can easily recommend to those who would appreciate a good looking, well functioning and great sounding radio. Best Luck and Happy Listening.
Review: Good little radio for the price - Have had this for 2 and a half weeks now and its a good little radio. It does have some issues that you may or may not care about. First, the onboard metal whip antenna is really short, that's fine for me as the broadcast FM band here is full of strong and close stations and this radio gets nearly all of them with the antenna retracted and it performs as well as my best radio in Weather Band, and clip the wire that it comes with or another long wire to it and it performs well in SW. It performs surpriseingly well on MW/AM. VHF band is mostly useless and more of a gimmicky thing as you are locked into 25khz steps on that band and very little lines up with those steps, but I didnt get it for that so I don't care This is not really a DXing radio but it will work better than you'd think for that on MW and SW. I'm still trying to figure out how the speaker songs so good for what it is. It sounds better than radios I have that cost 3 times or more than this did. Overall a good little radio for general use. Just grab it turn it on and listen, is simple to use, I love the nice big display with the nice amber backlight, the Auto Tune and Scan works well enough and the memory function is nice. Im glad I added it to my little colkection.
