Although I've purchased a couple of Grundig shortwave radios in my past, think I somewhat prefer Sangean radios. Sangean radios have a more finished appearance, better software user interface, and usually a lot less bugs or engineering defects. Sangean usually includes weather alert frequencies. Very nice and finally a temperature displayed, as most are using a portable shortwave antenna while traveling and camping! One feature definitely lacking, is a lit keypad. For some not known reason, almost no to none shortwave portable radios with a lit keypad. Another item still missing, being able to input a text file via USB or other memory device, for storing frequencies and/or tagging frequencies with an alias. Probably another two decades before seeing these much needed features! A warning has been published concerning 18650 style batteries, causing fires and explosions.

I am sending it back today, and at this point I am not very happy with amazon. They changed the return policy. I used to print out a label and drop it off a mile away and that was it. Now they charge for that. If I want free returns I need to drive it to a ups shipping center. I rarely return stuff so I am not sure how long ago they change that but it not as easy as it was that's for sure.

Nice size, can't stand these newer receivers that are cigarette pack size, and the VFO on the side is a must, being able to tune manually incrementally is key to sliding in KC's rather than a programmed button that can't dial precisely where you want to.

It's not the channel, it's what on at any given time. Check The websites for channels that you receive to see a listing of what is on at what time. This will give you a better feel for what will be on.

Shortwave does NOT give you "unfitered news". It gives you the opposing sides BS as well.

That's true however if you listen to several different countries you will hear similarities and you can pretty much figure out what the truth is. More so than just listening to and watching the news that we get here.

What's important is not state sponsored or commercial shortwave stations but SSB and listening to HAM radio operators to hear what's happening on the ground in real-time, the making your own assessment.

Okay, uncurated news then. Curated news is where you report on what someone else (your boss) tells you to report on, and say what you are told to say about it. Broadcast networks don’t report “news.” They tell you what some corporation wants you to know. Non-corporate broadcasters can be very genuine, if inaccurate. It’s called freedom of speech.

Not sure what that means.

MW stands for Medium Wave., not MID band.

And yet, I have no doubt that every single person that watched this video knew exactly what I meant.
