Title: Makes a great paperweight!
Review: I bought this radio because I wanted to try out the long wave band and the AM, FM and shortwave bands. The others perform ok, but longwave band is very poor, it would not receive any NDB's or weak transatlantic LW broadcast from overseas even with a loop antenna. The radio does well with receiving local AM and FM broadcasts but overloads bad on FM. The AM band does OK with receving semi local and distant AM stations at night. The shortwave band only picks up a few shortwave stations in the daytime and is ok receiving shortwave stations at night with some intermod from a local FM station. You need a long wire antenna for indoors witha telescoping rod connector. The radio is ok for beginners and traveler's who visit places that require a paperweight throwaway radio. Good for antenna experimenters still.
