  • This is my review of the XHDATA D-808 World Band Synthesized Receiver. I bought it for $96.00 plus tax and shipping at Amazon.
    Here is the Amazon (United States) link for the XHDATA version. a.co/d/8WA9Rrp
    Here is the Amazon (United States) link for the SIHUADON version. a.co/d/fmYtmw7
    Please note that I made a couple of mistakes in the review. I gave the wrong call letters for the 104.7 FM translator in New York City, which is W284BW. The station on 132.850 MHz is the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) from Teterboro Airport, which is different from the Air Traffic Control heard on other frequencies.

    I just got mine and am really struggling with it. The last radio I bought was my Yaesu Ft900 CAT.
    I will be glad to learn how to type in frequencies.

    I have this same radio and use it constantly. It is the stand-by radio as far as I’m concerned. It’s MW section is awesome. Great selection of bandwidths as well. Beautiful headphones experience. Thank you for sharing your experience.

      Thank you. I just wish XHDATA (Sihuadon) would do something to fixed the popping on headphones when changing bands. My Radiwow R-108 has that same problem. Otherwise, it's a great radio.

      @@tvradio1972 I have the Executive too and I agree with you. Be careful of the D808's telescopic aerial. It has a tendency to be become loose from its mounting within the case. I usually carry a Phillips screwdriver with me when I travel with it!

      the weather is transmitted via local stations in practically every country in the world, the weather band is old hat and antiquated, never been in a country that still relies on a weather band other than the USA.

    Hi, friend ! Thank you very much for such a good review and detailed answer. differences between these receivers. I want to order the same receiver of the new version. to your collection. There is tecsun pl660 and tecsun pl330. I think the xhdata d-808 will perform well in field conditions, just like the tecsun pl660. Thank you very much for your review. definitely a like from me. I'll have time to wait for you on my channel. 73!

      There are still SW stations left. It's mostly outside the U.S. although some exist there like WWV, WBCQ, WRMI, and WWCR, just to name a few. You can also receive stations from other countries depending on shortwave propagation conditions.

    the only fault with these radios is that they will only scam to a max of 26 Mhz on short wave, 26-30Mhz can only be tuned manually.
