I picked up one of these for $19.95US over the summer, and it was
worth the $19.00. I actually like the fact that it had an analog
tuner. With just the radio and one of the cheap radio shack long
wires, I was able to hear the BBC Antigua quite clearly. as well as
DW, Radio Australia, and the other major international news feeds. It
easily performed as well as my 399 and 396 given the conditions. But
there are no features, as you've already noticed ;-)

I have a question about this product. How good is it at receiving
all the major Short Wave broadcasters ? Interms of reception what
are its limitations ? How long have you had this set ? Any
problems with it ?

It looks like this was given a low rating as it doesn't have a
clock, FM or Memory. All these are optional or not really
essential for a SW Radio. Assuming it had all these features,
would this product have got a rating of 3 or 4 ?

Anyone using this product please share your experience.
