Short wave reception a bit anemic.
This unit has all the features I wanted and a few more. I cannot give it a full five stars but it is close. The problem is the Short Wave reception which is the reason I bought it. The included external antenna largely compensates for that if it is arrayed properly. In all fairness it would seem that short wave radio broadcasts to North America are not as numerous as they once were. That is based on a little research. Possibly someone else has done some research on this? 20 years ago I had a radio shack digital short wave that was much better in this regard. On the other hand there does not seem to be any deficiency with the other radio functions and weather band works very well. The included rechargeable battery gives ample life for my needs. It is compact, rugged and very functional. Read full review

No, I moved the antennae every way but no good.
This radio is very difficult to use- not intuitive at all. Sound quality is poor and so is reception.

Works well great radio battery life is very long
Couple of notes don’t leave the USB charging connected when listening it causes interference the battery lasts for hours so this is not a problem also to turn it on hold the power on button for a few seconds and it returns to your previous channel ...the T1 antenna is an added bonus Read full review

Best multi-functional emergency radio
By far the best emergency radio we've owned. Don't rely on cheap crank/solar/weather radios when used mainly for emergencies. This well built radio has up to date technology as well such as Bluetooth for your I phone and playback from a micro SD. Reception is excellent and sound quality is very good. So much that I've started using this for some daily use. . Read full review

Standing At The Ready
Very nice features, but the reception could be better, definitely a good thing to have gotten the antenna and the adapter in the package. Without it forget about it!
