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.

Sensitivity is a bit lower than a sangean i own on mw but with a helper am loop it makes up for the slightly lower sensitivity ... Read More
Other than that one draw back its a surprisingly a good radio for the price
