Meet the KK9, a $5 radio from the glorious wonderland known to us as teh-moo. Here's why it's a great radio for the price, and why every household should have one!
The DX button isn't for "power". Power is only produced at the transmitter. This is a receiver. The correct term for receivers is sensitivity. It's a sensitivity switch meant to reduce overload from nearby stations.
This radio is a famous Tecsun R909 clone. A very old and limited design sold almost 25 years ago, but it's still copied and produced in China and India, because it performs fine even now. The last heterodyne cheap radio.
That is striking similar to the Radio Shack DX-351 with very few case differences. I remember the Radio Shack version also had the external DC jack with a center negative.

I was wondering what it really did, thank you for the explanation!

Im going to give it a try.
I have the V115; it’s terrible on shortwave. It only receives my local stations.
Good to know that I'm not going crazy!
You do realize that shortwave transmitters aren't typically running all the time, right?
It would be better buying a second hand SW radio instead of expending in that flimsy gadget.
Its not radio thats the radio is thick... it's your presentation that is🙄
