Best Personal Radios for Shortwave

the radio must have memories for short wave stations

pros: very good sensitivity and selectivity; built-in antenna great cons: not-so-great sound quality (designed for short wave); bug-type transformer ac adapter.

in order to listen to any shortwave station, i have had to adjust the frequency several times a minute.

cons: short wave reception only average.

the shortwave bands did "okay" but were kind of hard to tune in: the fine dial seemed kind of "mushy---" i had to pass stations and come up on them from behind, and then retune the stations when they

the short wave stations also come in.

short wave drift is not real bad unless it's a very hard to get signal.

i bought this for the weather band during power outages and the short wave world wide capabilities.

most short wave radios have a tiny speaker which is really bad.

i listen to mostly fm, so this review doesn't cover short wave, although i do plan to experiement with that in the future.

the short wave is a fun, additional toy.enjoy!

the problem is that even on top of a hill i managed to find only a handful of short wave stations (the religious ones...).

- great reception on short wave

this little radio works better than any other i've tried in pulling stations in and maintaining a stable signal (it rarely fades.) haven't tried the short wave bands all that much.

fm stereo with head phones, fm, am, short wave.
