Overview
A PLL DSP receiver tunes AM, FM, longwave and shortwave, adding single side band and synchronous detection for weak or crowded signals. A rechargeable lithium battery charges from a micro USB cable.
Choose it for a compact worldband set with SSB and synchronous detection, an alarm and a sleep timer, charged from a phone-style USB charger. The limit is a tiny speaker output, so the included earphones do the serious listening, and the listing's own fields conflict on part number and connectivity.
Who it's for
A traveler, bedside listener or hobbyist tuning shortwave broadcasts will use the memories, the alarm and the sleep timer. Buyers who want a large speaker, strong output power or a documented external antenna jack should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Single side band reception
- Time-specific station memories
- Alarm clock and sleep timer
- Charges over micro USB
- Very small speaker output
- Part number field conflicts
- Spec fields list fewer bands than the description
Performance notes
Digital signal processing and a phase-locked loop hold tuning steady, and synchronous detection locks onto a station's carrier to reduce fading distortion on shortwave and AM. Single side band mode lets amateur and utility transmissions be resolved. Because the speaker output is small, earphones give clearer sound on weak signals.
