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

It's good, but the power cable isn't included.

This radio is well made. Not some cheap plastic dollar store junk. It is very loud and with crisp clear sound. Very loud for its size. I can hear it clearly for about fifty feet in my home. I won't have to cart it around from one room to the next so I can hear it. Just set the station I want to and let it rip. AM only picks up close local stations during the day, but more at night which is typical for AM. The stations have adequate dial in with well delineated band width. The antenna is only needed for AM and SW (which I have not tried yet and really am not interested in). It is compact, the battery compartment is snug and easy to access and fits the batteries well. They do not justle around in it all. This will be excellent to throw in the glove box of my wives' car in case of CHTF scenario or break down to save the car battery while she waits for help. It will go well in the couple small of bug out bags we have. This radio is very compact and can fit in a shirt pocket or pack pocket. I am really amazed at the sound quality. No static or bleed in the stations. I am especially satisfied with the fact that the on/ff button is separate from the volume button. Something that you would not expect in a low-cost radio. It would be awesome if it had NOAA, but for under $9.00 you cannot expect everything. I am super happy with this purchase. You will not find a better value or bang for your hard-earned buck anywhere else. This radio gets better reception than my Denon home stereo receiver does, and it cost over $2000 new (I got it second hand for much less). I will update this listing when I check out the SW channels. I do like the fact that these are preset and that there is not a jillion of them like I have seen on other models. I cannot give these guys 10 stars, but if I could, I would. The shipping was lightning fast, and it was double boxed to boot. I am going to get 2 more of these for sure. They would make great gifts for birthdays or Christmas. Man, I can say enough good things about this radio. If you are looking for a low-cost emergency or game day radio, then you absolutely need to consider this one. Am I satisfied with this radio? You bet your life I am and it might just be a God send should my life count on it in an emergency. It is all analog easy to use and looks like it is way more expensive a model than it is. Ruggedly made and will last if one keeps it out of direct sun which is not known to be very nice to plastic over time. You have to buy this radio if you are in the market for one. Later: I used the SW bands. During the day is best for this radio for this band something I expected just the opposite. Nighttime decreased my options for reliable stations with no bleed out. Move it to the number on SW band and then use the dial to find a station you want to listen to. Some of the bands provide clear stations by the boat load. Some have nothing on them. It does add to the stations you have at hand to listen to. Most of them are talk radio stations...Spanish or religious stations. It definitely expands the radio stations you can listen to. I have used earphones with this, and it is stereo, and the sound quality depends on the ear buds or phones you use. I do imagine they will decrease the battery life. I bought three more of these to use as gifts, and sent one to a friend.

Very good little fm am sw receiver, with good reception and sounds. Unfortunately it is not many stations on shortwave band ,because we aren't in Europe, where is a lot of many news, music in different languages. As overall good toy for very low price. I will recommend this receiver.

Me gustó,el radio portátil es compacto y tiene una bocina que se escucha bien no distorsiona, su precio es accesible lo recomiendo...

Very good receiption .
