DX-286 Portable Shortwave Radio FM Stereo/AM/LW/SW Ultra-sensitive full-band radio utilising TEF6686 chip, featuring LCD display, RDS alarm clock and 18650 rechargeable battery (Black)

The radio is really only for someone who knows about radios. Don’t get me wrong the radio is really nice, super sensitive fm reception. Great sound quality, it’s amazing for its size. But it has loads of interesting and useful settings, I don’t think you will get the best out of this radio unless you go into settings it up how you want to use it. Not good battery life warning, it says the battery is full then without any ramp down in displayed power, it displays almost empty!!! Don’t attempt to just switch on and use, Read manual first, or not much will happen. I think that the default settings could do with tweaking, depending on where it’s being sold. Personally I am really enjoying using it.

An excellent radio in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and clarity. To get the best results you do need to study the manual carefully and remember the various settings. Overall the DX-286 out performs most other world band portable radios and offers amazing value for money.

Great value radio, Its small but loud enough for where it lives(in the loo) Its very sensitive, picks up stations my big radio can't and holds a charge well. If I was going camping its the radio I would take, as its the lightest radio I own, yet captures stations I've never heard before. Definitely One of My better buys!

reception poor on medium wave.

The radio was mailed in a moulded, padded plastic case with a snap seal plastic lid, which provided excellent protection, during transport. Very good sound quality from such a small radio. Has a lot settings to improve reception. Initially very impressed with radio performance.

I've only had this a few days and I'm comparing it directly to the Tecsun PL-330 which I've had for a few years now. The Qodosen lack of SSB aside which IMHO is awkward on this Tecsun due to tiny recessed buttons for 'step' and more is for me at least far superior on LW, MW and even SW. Pretty much the same where I live on FM although perhaps on headphones FM sounds slightly better on the Tecsun. As for the speaker Qodosen is far superior as is the action of the buttons on the radio. Operating ease wise is a matter of preference although I'm getting to prefer the Qodosen. Build quality is no contest with the thin and creaky plastic of the Tecsun together with its lack of a kickstand being vastly inferior. If you really need SSB go for the Tecsun otherwise 100% the Qodosen seems the far superior radio to me at least. LW reception is incredibly good for such a small radio and virually no existant on the Tecsun.

This Radio was highly recommended to me by "Fred in the shed" on Youtube! First impression: it is very well made, feels & looks a bit like the Sony mini radios of the 80's and 90's, (Icfw 55/100) compact, massive, solid and nothing looks or feels cheap! Quite the opposite in fact! All in all a really nice set. FM is a treat, I can suddenly hear stations I never heard before! MW & LW is not of much importance here. But SW is again excellent, right up there with my big SW-receivers which are of a high quality - incredible! You will need to work with the manual, don't underestimate this radio! Not so great: no battery, but you can get these easily. One detail I am not all to happy with: I had to pay €22.- in customs charges. I ordered this radio on the amazon uk website thinking, I would get this radio through the UK ( like most of the things for Ireland) and thanks to the customs agreement UK/Europe ( For goods up to €150 no customs charges occur) would not be confronted with customs charges. I still think the radio is well worth it , no question. But the fact that customs charges will apply need to be highlighted on the Website. Otherwise all in all: an exceptional product and one hell of a Christmas present! Thanks Fred!

Amazingly sensitive radio and easy to use. First of all, it comes in what looks like a toolbox with soft padding inside. Radio, pouch and detailed instruction manual (although not needed to use straight away). Sound is very good for such a small speaker in the radio. I pulled in stations on FM up to about 190 miles away over hilly territory - a feat which only the Tecsun PL-880 also did but the Qodosen got in stronger! Very good DSP sensitivity, too. One evening I tried LW and picked up Radio Algeria on 252kHz .. indoors. It was quiet but considering I was indoors and using its internal antenna .. I was really impressed. All in all, I waited a long time to try to find a sensitive, small radio with RDS and AM .. and am not disappointed. Just one small point to note - you do need 18650 batteries for this radio.

Excelente produto.

FM、AM中心のレビューになります。 感度、音声ともに満足できる性能です。操作感も独特な感じはありますが大丈夫です。ボタンや液晶もシッカリしています。SSBは置いておいてD-808よりはDX-286の方が私は好きです。 本体を寝かせた状態でアンテナを垂直方向に立てようとすると本体の切掛けが少ないので、他の機種と比べてタチが悪いです。。。 あと手に持っていないとシャリ音がする時が多いです。レビューで言われているほどFM感度や音声がズバ抜けていいとは思いませんでした。FMはPL-330の方が数値上の感度は悪いですが、雑音などがありません。AMは凄いと思います。x

Très sincèrement ! J'achète beaucoup de ces produits de haute qualité, et c'est vraiment surprenant. Le tuner digital est précis et départage super bien les stations de la bande fm. Je suis tout un ouï ouï, acheter le vraiment il est génial! !!

Il prodotto ideale per chi è appassionato alla ricezione di emittenti in FM a distanza (FM-DX), in particolare grazie all'ottima selettività che separa senza interferenze segnali su frequenze fra loro a distanza anche di soli 100 kHz (87.9, 88, 88.1 ecc.).
