To give u review. Soo ill make other review soo with update. My video review of this radio is on youtube. Therefor it gets a solid buy from me. There are some caveats.

The audio quality thru the speaker is very good for a midsized radio. When hooked up to a pair of headphones or any other auxiliary output, this radio becomes a very good stereo tuner. It has a fuller, richer sound.

Fm/sw external antenna jack supports sw and fm with the supplied longwire antenna. Comes with outdoor sw antenna.

U need to buy ur ownn battery. Comes with ac adapter that charges your nimh batteries. This is a go anywhere radio and uses aa rechargeable batteries.



Cons

The external antenna has a really strange when i plug any external antenna, the sw bands nº 1, 3 and 4 are all the same. I listen to american an family network but this will not play on the fm band.

    The tuning wheel is pretty stiff but not overly so

    One thing i dont care for is the volume slider


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I generally leave the tone switch set to bass because i feel the treble response is too high at greater volume levels


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Fm is in stereo thankfully since mono is an automatic disqualification for me for any radio


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have heard reports of some fm bleed over in the shortwave bands but i have not experienced this
