Yesterday I received the
XHDATA D-808 small size world band receiver I bought it on Amazon. The radio
seems to be very sensitive on short wave for its price and size and it is very
good for travelling, because is much smaller than the Tecsun PL.880, Sony ICF
SW7600 G or the Sangean ATS 909X.
It has FM with RDS, six filters on short wave and medium wave: 6, 4, 3, 2,5, 2, 1,8 and 1 kHz and other six on SSB, 4, 3, 2,2, 1,2, 1, and 0.5 kHz.
Powered by a 18650
lithium battery, charge via a micro usb port like the Android smartphones and
with a smartphone charger.
Here my first logs with
it in Lugo, where reception conditions are worse than in Friol and a 8 meters cable antenna
