Pros: Ultra-low price, excellent audio for a radio of this size, good shortwave performance Cons: Tuning dial hard to read and inaccurate
It's interesting to note how long this little radio has been on the market -- the reviews span back several years. While a product that's been manufactured for a considerable period of time is not guaranteed to be of high quality, "staying power" does ...
Pros: Good shortwave reception, small size, super cheap Cons: poor selectivity
Like the last reviewer, I picked up this radio for $8 at Big Lots, kind of surprised to find a shortwave radio there for such a price. I'd been looking for a small, cheap portable radio for traveling and carrying around with me outdoors. Most portable...
Pros: Inexpensive, multiband radio Cons: FM performance is very poor if you are close to a FM station
The Coby CX-CB12 portable radio is an analog multi-band radio that can be had for under $10. At this price you can't expect much, but the question is...is it worth spending any money on this radio? The radio itself comes in a nice box and it includes ...
Pros: Cheap! Sensitive enough on MW and SW, and excellent audio for its class. Cons: Not-so-hot construction, band switcher is plenty awkward, analog tuner
The only reason I bought this radio was because I wanted something to carry, say to the lake or something and could afford to lose. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the excellent human-voice audio, and impressive-for-its-class sensitivity.

Pros: Price, quality Cons: Not top of line SW radio, but this unit works really well, No Sideband...

Big Lots. I used to have a short wave radio ages ago
and have wanted to get another one. However price
seemed to be a deterrent.
Pros: Cheap, easy to operate, comes with earphones, ideal beginners SWL radio. Cons: No external antenna outlet, cheap material.
This radio is the best quality radio you can buy in the planet for the least price.I bought this radio from Big Lots store for 8$. I bought this radio, because I wanted to listen news from all around the world. I was actually planning to buy a hi ...
Pros: Inexpensive!Lots of SW frequency coverage;good audio;compact. Cons: Poor image rejection on AM and FM(who cares,it's for shortwave);dial backlash.
Costs only fifteen dollars! Sony, Sangean and the rest want fifty or more for their versions, and they don't play any better. This little set is a well made, handsome radio, that does two things well (for its class); it receives lots of shortwave...
Pros: Inexpensive for what it is Cons: Poor construction, parts will not last
Hey for $15 or so bucks how can you beat this? AM/FM, 9 bands of shortwave and a longwave band. Very cool indeed. It does what it says it will do. But there are some problems.
The readout is inaccurate and dialing in the frequency is an art...
