Great piece of gear to have in your preps! If ever get a good steady pace of money, I may get one. Thank you for this review!

Hey man! What a great video. I came to youtube looking for a review/tutorial for how to use my new radio and stumbled upon your video. I got this radio as a birthday gift since my dad and granddad used to listen to sw radio back in the day and I've always wanted to try it and have one myself. I also got some inspiration to get one from the 90's movie called ''contact'' with Jodie Foster which I highly recommend. I was mainly looking at my radio as an entertainment tool for listening to radio stations from all around the world but I'm thankful that from your video I've come to realize how helpful it'd be to have a lil radio like this in the case of an emergency. I'm on the west coast of Canada and was able to listen to radio Nikkei which is in Japan around 12:30 am Pacific time. Thanks for the great video!

It’s always fun to see what you can pick up. Great radio for sure.

Another great video. Keep em coming. Thank you.

Great review of the SW radio. Already have it in my wish list. I have 3 of the Baofeng radios, we use them on our hunting trips but I have one on my EDC bag. Being an Amateur Radio operator I am very familiar with handheld radios, mobile units and HF rigs used to talk across the country or world wide. Amateur Radio (ham radio) license are very easy to get now and I would recommend anyone to get a study manual, study up and take the required tests. No more do you need to learn the morse code, that was eliminated several years ago. Of course I had to learn it to get my HF privileges, I have been a Amateur Radio operator since the mid 90's and at that time it was required. Of course if everything goes south, it probably doesn't matter if you have a license or not. But if you get it now and get familiar with radio communications, building portable antennas and understand how it is done you will be set in an emergency situation.

I was in Germany for two weeks and this radio was perfect for the situation. ETM is a must-have feature and with the crowded FM band, this radio has superb separation on adjacent channels. (Sounds good, too!)

Awesome video LS. Shortwave capability is critical to survival. Like you said it doesn't have to be expensive anymore. IMHO shortwave becomes relevant in two different scenarios. A regional grid down emergency, or a scenario where one wants to validate news from local sources, with news from beyond the borders. SW is the awesome :)

You have the best intros and videos 👍🏻

ETON now owns Grundig and sells Shortwave under their ETON brand. also, Tecsun is quite good as well.

I bought a Tecsun on Amazon that also receives SSB for HF amateur radio transmissions. You should probably emphasize that for all but the most powerful shortwave stations, a long wire external antenna is needed.

Great review.

The good thing about Tecsun is that they have radios in every price range. They make high quality radios. I like my PL390, which has a bigger AM antenna than this one shown here, but is about $60.oo. I also have a PL600 and PL660,as well as a couple of others. Kaito.US has all the Tecsun radios all in English, and also handle all the warranty issues for Kaito and Tecsun. They are really good to deal with, too. ‘‘This is an excellent review. Lots of good info. 📻👍🙂‼️

Excellent review. Thanks you.

Can you change the radio station interference filter on FM? I was thinking of buying one of these.

those small shortwave radios are the bomb! I have one and used it in the middle of nowhere and was able to pickup international radio to listen to when there was no hope of getting AM or FM. For Australia you can google "radio Australia" to get some English stations.

Radio newb here. Aside from FM is the SW, MW and LW all AM? But AM "broadcast" is the MW? Short wave travels further distance? So what is LW for??

Great video, don't leave the radio inside the car or glove compartment on a sunny day as the hot temperature inside will damage it.

Tnx for posting this video, nice job..... LM

Nice job and excellent recommendation. I have a couple of these small Tecsun radios and they have good performance for their price or any price. Even if you are only interested in AM and FM and not shortwave you can't go wrong with this radio because FM reception with its DPS is about as good as it gets. And AM reception is much better than average given its size. I like that the reviewer mentioned censorship that can happen with the internet. While shortwave currently can be difficult for finding listening material of interest that will completely change when/if censorship becomes a problem. Shortwave radios would then be hard to come by. Get them now while you can. If you can afford a more expensive radio get one with SSB for listening to Amature radio. Getting several of them is wise and these small Tecsun radios are a no brainer.

Excellent video - Thank you - just purchased one

Just as a side note to this, for others just finding this: At this time sun and atmospheric conditions are not good for listening to Short Wave, Doesn’t mean there’s nothing out there. There’s plenty. As conditions improve, it will be better. ( Most All Tecsun Short Wave Radios come with a “Long-wire” antenna to clip to the whip antenna. This will help a lot)

How do you set radio alarm volume on it?

Wish I had seen this sooner. Got the ambient weather adventurer 2 model already. It takes a standard 18650 battery with the "solar panel" and hand crank. Gets the same frequencies with similar features.. Charges with a mini usb. Aside from the off grid charging stuff (it takes 4+ days in perfect sun to charge a dead 3400 mAh battery), it has the weather channels preset for scanning. It's a lot bigger and costs $30 more.

Depending on the external antenna and the particular frequency band you can also pick up what's called slow-scan television images and data modes like PSK31. You just have to pipe the audio to another device like an iPad / iPhone or an Android device.

+Living Survival Here's part of an Amazon review which was helpful for me. "This antenna is great for improving weak shortwave signals. It can make a faint signal listenable. As an example, listening to VOA on 17895 kHz from Botswana, with only my Grundig radio's whip antenna, I could not make much out. But with the ANT-60 the signal improved remarkably and I could copy enough to write a reception report, and received a QSL card from VOA verifying I'd heard their Botswana transmitter. It will *not* do much to improve a fairly good signal, but definitely improves weaker ones." Cheers

The PL310/ET doesn't cope with long antennas. 6m/20ft is plenty, any more & it overloads badly from adjacent strong sigs. I used a PL310 across the Pacific as a "representative" HF radio for gauging typical reception from a short telescopic whip antenna and it worked great with Radio Australia & RNZI at ranges 1000-6000 km.

Living Survival - Ummmm, Shortwave Radios DONT Broadcast anything, they are Simply Receivers, they can Receive Shortwave transmissions from HAM's and International Shortwave Broadcasters. you need a HAM License to Broadcast anything on the HAM SW bands and you need a Extra Class license to transmit LEGALLY. IF you get a HAM License you can get a Shortwave/HF Tranceiver that can do both Receive and Transmit. and the Future ICOM IC-705 Qrp Tranceiver can do it all in a Portable package and has the Benefit of being a SDR Shortwave/HF transceiver. it can even be Battery powered by a HT radio battery and has a Backpack and a extended battery.

IF you get a HAM License , you can communicate Durring normal times and Emergency BOTH. IF you are Planning on Relying on BaoFeng as a backup communications then YOU are seriously out of touch with Reality. the Lisensed HAMs are just going to LOCK you out of their Repeaters by changing their CODE, and ONLY the HAMs in a Network will have the Proper CODE to unlock the REPEATER.
