DX-286 Portable Shortwave Radio FM Stereo/AM/LW/SW, Ultra High Sensitivity Full Band Radio with TEF6686 Chip, LCD Display RDS Alarm Clock and 18650 Rechargeable Battery (Black)

I struggled at first but the more I use the 286 the more I love it. It really is a great radio. I pick up UK FM stations from Ireland. And for me thats a winner. Plus it does virtually everything else excellently.

Molto buona, ottima ricezioni in FM, buona anche LW,AM,SW.

Ich war Anfangs etwas skeptisch, da der Qodosen DX-286 in Deutschland bislang nicht so einfach zu erhalten war und sich noch niemand zu dem Gerät geäussert hat. Die Empfangsleistung, gerade auf UKW und MW sind wirklich ausgesprochen gut. Kurzwelle ist ebenfalls hervorragend, einziger Nachteil: Es gibt eider keine Möglichkeit im seitenband zu hören, das gut der verwendete Chip leider nicht her. Mit einer modifizierten MLA-30, die es ebenfalls bei Amazon gibt läuft der RX zur Höchstform auf. Einfach mal bei Youtube nach dem Gerät suchen, ich habe dazu ein paar deutschsprachige Videos gemacht...

Outstanding Performance! The very best choice for a small economical radio. I purchased this radio after seeing many positive YouTube reviews . I’m not new to the SWL hobby. Therefore, I am able to compare this little gem to other expensive shortwave radios that I own. This radio holds its own and sometimes outperforms $200-$300 dollar portable radios. Shortwave performance is very good with a small indoor window antenna. FM and Broadcast Band AM performance is outstanding! During the nighttime hours, I am able to pick up 90% of the US clear channel AM stations without an external antenna. FM has high sensitivity and good sound for such a small radio. The only downside (if it had one) is no SSB tuning. But I personally would not expect it on an easy to use radio in this price range. All in all a great little radio for emergency back up, travel, camping.or arm-chair listening.

Small compact radio. Great for camping/bug-out bags. 2 @ 18650 button batteries included. Note: Batteries don't charge via USB-C. Fantastic FM reception. I added a portable windup SW Antenna to mine as well via the 1/8" antenna jack. With Sangean ANT-60 external Antenna, I can pick up SW from around the world. Speaker is clear and sharp but only 1 cone, thus mono. I prefer headphones, so it comes with an additional jack for those. Sound quality is very good via headphones v.s. clear and very mono via the single speaker. Speaker is about 1.5 " in diameter so don't expect any bass. Is it perfect? No. Radio is very "Europe/Orient" in its design, and thus it doesn't come with the NOAA radio bands that many competitors do. I liked this radio so much, I purchased a 2nd. See picture for relative size.

Nope, this radio does not have air band or ssb, but it is a beast on reception. It also has very good tonal quality and even FM bandwidth calibrations. It doesn't seem to follow the other major brands in function button selections, but has plenty if you take the time to learn them... I'm still learning. So... Buy one, you will not have buyer remorse. I have a D808... I like this one much better for features, memory channel storage, rotary knob functions and sound quality. The "auto" mode on the rotary knob is gold for seeking channels up and down. Don't get me wrong, the D808 is a fantastic radio well worth the price, but this one has even better reception and feature.
