What is the deal with this cheap radio? Is it any good or am I just throwing
away $10 on a piece of junk?

I am not looking for anything fancy in shortwave....just something that has
decent sound and can pull in shortwave bands for occasional listening and
amusement.

It's considered a good "beach radio" - you can hear strong stations
and have fun. If it gets stolen or if it gets damaged - well, it's
just a $10 radio.

If you're expecting to do serious DX and hear weak domestic stations
from Latin America, Africa or the Pacific whilst you're in North
America, you'll be disappointed.

It's probably also a good radio for people in third world countries
who want to bypass domestic authorized media but who can't afford
anything fancy. I've heard of U.S. embassies giving out these or
similar radios - although if batteries are an issue, the wind ups may
be better in the long run.
