This is a basic
receiver that has a unusually good band coverage for its price. With an
outside antenna attached to the built in antenna it can pull in a fair
amount of stations and it has a nice dial for reading the frequency of
each shortwave band. It is good as a travel radio when one doesn't
like to take along an expensive portable and provides good
reception in RFPI's strong signal areas (Central America/Caribbean)
and the Southern U.S. states (with outside antenna attached).
