THis is one of the cheapest radios that could be found in the local market , found by my father. I supposed he bought  for abt Euros 5 , produced surely from China , and this radio has also a clock inside it

Here is a very simplified mini report of what iu have found  using it in a very short time and as you may understand , I fully disliked it !

Just notice  that this radio has been tested in the sub capital of Greece, a city of abt 1 million people  with oe radio station on MW and numerous stations 15 km far from the city which shown a severe noise on radio’s shortwaves Had not the opportunity to check it on Litohoron where  there is not any significant interference on Fm band
 

-good audio on MW fair on FM.
-monophonic output on ears  , ie using a earphone only from the one ear is heard
-poor sensitivity om MW  nearly no signals on SW 1 and 2 though there was quite strong level  of QRN from the local Fm stations  and supposedly from the  nearby MW station on 1431 (the polytechnics radio sation as checked in the middle ) . Very few stations  heard on SW and only on local evenings and nights
-uses A batteries  for radio AA  for the clock
-the tuning knob is relatively difficult  to tune into the bands , in case you tune out a station , and have to tune back there is some lag on the wheel ...
- I supposed the only plus for this radio  can be the battery life , possibly more than 1 month of operation!

as in result this radio is soemething out of discussion and i post here as a reference for not buying it !!
