yes its actually really good for that price. curious to see how it performs in comparison with the R9012 btw i have got that R1000 now :) display is only showing a 0 though and the NB doesnt work. and it turn off when you press the timer button :D so i am going to offer that guy 40-50€. if he doesnt accept i'll have to return it. sounds great though. listening to MW with the MLA30 right now and sounds as good as the panasonic rf2200.
@@VintageOils Good to hear you like the sound! The digital display is a bit of an issue, but I suppose it is possible to see the frequencies on the band spread display. You would need to use some well-known frequencies as your guide though, because the band spread is not a fixed frequency display. Mine also goes quiet when you press the timer button, I don't think that is a flaw, probably needs to be set to a certain time.
@@swlistening glad to hear the timer is not broken :) so it is just the NB and the Display that dont work. adjusting the analog dial to a known station works really well. only have to do that once and it works on all the bands. the broken NB is a huge bummer. i am going to offer that guy 40€. without the nb it is actually noisier than my Panasonic DR22. not really worth spending 100€ on that. but for 40 it would still be cool.
@@VintageOils a ten tec bfo (nine volt) I put it in a box. With a rca socket(audio) the tuning dial out front w /power switch. All there just your fave hook up that's all PS.. in a box it came in handy for many radios and test eqp. Enjoy
@@Steven-re7xt thanks, i'll check that out! was trying the old trick with holdinf another radio next to the one to listen and trying to get it to couple. but never worked. that bfo kit sounds like something i need
Great little radio! I love mine!

@@VintageOils I agree, I think for 40 euros this would be a great buy! Still works well enough to have fun with it.
Thank you for this good video with this receiver 👍
I like my XHDATA D-219 as for an inexpensive radio it has above average sensitivity with a high quality DSP chip! Thanks for your video...
Works well with a bfo kit. And about 4 meter of wire. My kit is tentec and the two do well tks fer ur work. De odn-1
what bfo kit are you using? i might need to get into that ;)

Good video :)
How only one wire for antenna . Kindly suggest fm band antenna for this model
yes on definatly needs a wire for SW. also feel lile the antenna is a bit short even for FM. i get bedt fm results using external fm antennas
Is it working fine with adapter or are there any inference noise
you mean wall power supply? havent tried that. the batteries seem to last years though
The 9k version. The US 10k version does much better on MW.
Xhdata sounds better
