Degen DE15 Ultra-thin AM/FM Shortwave DSP Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Smallest pocket FM/AM/SW/FML DSP radio packed with all you need for a radio:
Digital tuning PLL, non-volatile memories, ATS (auto scan and store stations), digital volume control, clock/sleep/alarm functions, mute function, backlighting when any button pressed for night time user. Another nice feature is the USB batteries recharge function that you can plug into a computer and/or a wall adapter (3 rechargeble AAA batteries provided). Easy to use and master all controls of the radio.
Sensitivity and selectivity are excellent due to the DSP chip, I have tried to auto scan stations on FM band, and this unit scanned all available stations including the weakest ones. AM DXing listening is good too, I can hear 860 AM from Toronto, Canada (broadcasting in French), 570 AM from New York, 670 AM from Chicago - which are 400-500 miles away from where I live. SW is ok, you can't expect too much on this little unit with a short 10" non-swivel antenna, but you can still get lots of strong stations.
The only draw back are the audio fidelity (it's not an iPod!) for music listening (even though FM stereo separation is good) and the digital noise at low volume.
If you interest in latest digital radio with DSP, Talk/news on FM/AM or travelling with a sleep/alarm features, this unit is the right one to get at an affordable price. With a ~$50.00 you might be able to get a Sangean DT-210/400W for music listening with DBB but without an alarm clock, a SW band, non-volatile memories and built-in auto recharge batteries. You decide.

jWIN JXM122 Portable AM/FM Weather Band Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this radio 2 days ago and it has hardly left my side. I am teathered to a dialysis machine 9 hours a day and use it in my bed. It appears well made with sturdy controls which are not easily changed by moving around in the covers. The digital display has a white background that alternates between time and station with the touch of a button. The white light can be used as a nightlight if desired. The display can be switched on and left on if you want. The tuning and voume switches are easy to operate. There are ten preset stations available for each am and fm band. Reception seems very good and sound quality for this size radio is acceptable. Stereo can be output to headphones but the unit returns to mono when the speaker is used. Other controls are small and could be difficult for someone with large hands to operate easily. There is a lock switch which prevents the accidental operation of other controls. I find no need to use it. The display is easy to read. The printing over each of the controls is medium gray on black background, small and difficult to read but once you get to know the unit should not be a problem. An a/c adapter is included. The unit is handsome but not something to show off. It looks and works as advertised. The instruction booklet is straight forward and simple. Radio is smaller than it looks in the picture and may not be as large as you expect so check the physical dimensions. If you need a radio for personal use (in the bed, office cubicle, or on your person) this one should fill the bill.
