Well, in spite of China's plans to take over the US.
I am enjoying the little radio.
It is real easy to use.
Haven't used the single sideband feature yet.
Listened to it last night in bed, and woke up this morning with the radio
still going, with the backlight on,
and nothing but static.
The fm stereo sounds pretty good, not like a Sony but still nice.
AM reception is not bad, I went through all the bands, not hard to remember
the
button locations, and I like the dial, just feels better than a push button
to me.
Didn't use the whip antenna, but maybe will try it tonight.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at both the number of stations
that radio will catch on just the whip antenna as well as the quality
of the sound. Degen really packed a lot of performance into a nice
looking radio that is priced very reasonably.
