CC SWPocket AM/FM Shortwave Pocket Radio Review

pros
-good am/fm sensitivity
-good value for the money

cons
-volume sucks big time, i can't belive cc radio/redsun (redsun of china is the manufacturer) let this irk get by.
-single conversion circuit only...wish it coulda' had dual conversion
-dx/local switch strictly for show

After one year of ownership, this is what I have to say. This is a solid little radio, will get the job done, but don't expect too much. am/fm is good and sw acceptable for it's size. Just as good as most other 50-70 pocket portables out there...at least according to 'passport to world band radio, 2008'..."Good sensitivity on all bands, with no digital hash"...
The problem with this little radio is unanimous...volume starts at one then jumps to three! Three being loud, headphones too (compared to one, which is inaudible)...from there the increments work normally...not good if your significant other is a lite sleeper!!
In all this is a descent pocket radio. It is too bad that it is hampered with volume troubles. Hopefully the next cc/redsun pocket portable will improve upon it.
