XHDATA D-808 Portable FM Radio for Home SW/MW/LW SSB RDS Air Multi Band with Larger Knob and LCD Display Alarm Clock External Antenna and Rechargeable Battery(Grey)

The media could not be loaded. This radio is a true gem for radio enthusiasts and those who understand the intricacies of signals and broadcasting. Its performance is unmatched, and you can truly appreciate its power if you have a passion for radios and knowledge about the diverse range of stations and their origins. There’s so much to praise about this radio, but to keep it short and simple—it’s a must-have for anyone who values quality and functionality in radio equipment.

The media could not be loaded. After months of hunting and reviewing many reviews i first bought a xhdata d220 to check the quality of xhdata radio, d220 is quite a surprise in itself as it plays FM and SW brilliantly with a little help of an extended antenna ,in my case a 6m wire. And it also gets MW stations with its inbuilt antenna. now the real challenge with dial is that it's hard to tune precisely to a single frequency and you cannot figuree out the exact station frequency.I looked into other radios also but finally I settled on xhdata d808 cuz of its extended capabilities for exploring AIR n LW stations.D808 is another surprise,it's a very small radio , neatly assembled and has inbuilt battery with c type USB charging provison. although no charger is provided but it comes with all the basic accessories , a USB type c cable, a wire antenna and a battery :) it tuned all the FM stations smoothly and stored in memory. Same went for MW and SW stations. I live in a apartment type building so here the external antenna that comes with the radio helps on FM SW and AIR frequencies. I charged it to full capacity n using it 3-4 hours daily since last 2 days n still the battery status level is on full.its easily go for a week without charging on moderate usage of 2-3 hours daily.Controls fill little tricky at the start but going through manual 2-3 times helps to understand the radio better else this will appear as alien device.It has alram function, turn off timers ,beep sound on/off , keylock, backlight on/off control.Apart for this it has bandwidth selection on SW MW LW frequencies, it has option of mono and stereo on FM, FM is stereo only on earphones. Dials feel flimsy but they are enough friction to hold its position, on dials you have volume, fine tunning and frequency adjustment. The telescope antenna is okay but for better reception a wire antenna greatly enhance the reception. This can be easily observed as you got display for signal strength and SNR readings.MW /LW are tuned with help of internal ferrite antenna but a external passive loop antenna helps in for better reception.right now I'm using a DIY loop antenna but planning to get tecsun passive antenna for the same.This radio easily gets the AIR frequencies from the nearest airport , you need to know the exact frequencies to listen to them as this broadcasts are small n auto tune easily skips them while tunning.I could not use it to listen to ham communication as I'm new to that but SW allows a little excitement cuz you can tune to some random stations n you will be surprised to get those stations.For a curious person this radio has a lot to play with , for regular guys you only have FM , so if you are not really into radio than skip this radio but if you want to explore the world of radio then this could be your first world radio but this has a learning curve. It has a possible return window of 7 days so I myself trying to explore all its features so in case it has any issue i can claim the replacement n return.People have mixed reviews for this radio for me xhdata soo far is fairing good I hope it will not disappoint me.Finally today I was able to tune a active CW communication on 20m band on USB. I was not sure about this radio's Ham capabilities but today my doubt was cleared.

This is truly an amazing Radio.To know its value, one has to be a Radio lover. This little radio is big in features. Various tuning methods, auto-tuning, pages to save stations etc are wonderful features.The feature I liked very much is - bandwidth selection. You can also reduce noise using this feature. BUT most of all I like its sensitivity:If you put a wire in a window or at roof, and connect to its antenna (or you can use the wire supplied with this radio, for which there is a dedicated jack in Radio), this little beauty of a Radio catches so many different stations on all bands that you will be amazed.PRICE is a little too much in comparison to normal Radios you get in India though; but it just depends upon you if you find it expensive or not. I found the qualities of this little Radio great enough to pay the cost; but I wish it was cheaper.

Much hype has been created about this item through paid U tube vedios. I purchased this item because I was motivated by so many positive reviews on U tube. But sorry to say that this is completely a hopeless AM/FM/SW receiver. Sound quality is very very bad and annoying. I feel like cheated by the paid U tube review vedios for this item. It is completely wastage of your money. Thanks.

Print on keys and at side of keys is very dim and difficult to read.This is reason I am giving 3 stars only.

The media could not be loaded. The radio looks great. Sleek design, easy to operate. There are some complex function like stupid timer. Take help from YouTube videos. The FM is extremely well. Medium waves are awesome and short waves are really good including single side band. I bought this radio particularly for single side band listening. The air band gets clear reception from ATC Delhi , I am 55 kms away.I had to order a replacement. The first product had poor ssb reception and noisy. The replacement arrived the next day and is awesome.

Xhdata - D808 Radio is a wonderful iteam. I like this product very much. This Radio has all the bands. Tuning all the Radio stations in Radio memory is a difficult process. Battery is wonderful.

The radio has full spectrum all the way from LW, AM, SW to FM & AirBand. So on papers this is a great radio. However, the downsides are many:1. You can't seamlessly tune frequency. It mutes. That itself is the last thing a SWL wants to see in a radio. That's mainly due to its DSP circuitry by the way.2. In comparison to Tecsun PL680, sensitivity is half. External antenna may improve but after all we purchase these for mobility and we would want maximum efficiency in the package itself.3. Very poor built quality. The radio can easily break apart and it's plastic is really made up of very cheap integrity. During travel you may end up nocking the antenna out or crushing other parts of the radio.
