Yesterday I received the XHDATA D-808 small size world band receiver I
bought it on Amazon. The radio seems to be very sensitive on short wave for its
price and size and it is very good for travelling, because is much smaller than
the Tecsun PL.880, Sony ICF SW7600 G or the Sangean ATS 909X. It has FM with
RDS, six filters on short wave and medium wave: 6, 4, 3, 2,5, 2, 1,8 and 1 kHz
and other six on SSB, 4, 3, 2,2, 1,2, 1, and 0.5 kHz. Powered by a 18650
lithium battery, charge via a micro usb port like the Android smartphones and
with a smartphone charger.
Here my first longs with it in Lugo, where reception conditions are worse
than in Friol XHDATA D-808, cable antenna, 8 meters.
