    It doesn't appear to have a BFO, so probably not much use for your
    morning CW practice in the karzi. Then again, it looks like quite a
    lot of radio (+ charger!) for a tenner. I might even be tempted
    myself.

    You can buy two for £22 (notice the £1 delivery charge) and use one of
    the 2 as BFO. I am actually thinking of doing that myself. My only
    reservation is that digital tuning radios are quite noisy.

    The seller has only 98% positives. I'd stay away from any seller who
    hasn't at least 99.5%.

    The seller has only 98% positives. I'd stay away from any seller who

    Using a second radio as a bfo, may not work since there is no
    conventional IF offset in modern digital radios. Look at the block
    diagram.

    Oops. That's why I prefer analog radio, however what if:

    1) You just put the two radio at the same frequency, that should well
    generate a beat oscillation, no?

    2) You put a cw transmitter near to it, a la Peter Parker vk3ye of
    Youtube fortune? That also should give a beat oscillation?

    Well, Jim, mine arrived yesterday.
    USB charging lead, but no charger.
    FM performance is good, MW middling, and SW just noise.
    Still, not too bad for a tenner.

    Any idea how to store stations? There are no instructions, and lots of
    Googling totally fails to find any information. No idea about using the

    Well, Jim, mine arrived yesterday.
    USB charging lead, but no charger.

    told you there was no charger

    FM performance is good, MW middling, and SW just noise.
    Still, not too bad for a tenner.
    Any idea how to store stations? There are no instructions, and lots
    of Googling totally fails to find any information. No idea about
    using the SD card facility.

    no idea

    So yet again you've let me down. I'm extremely disappointed.

    Stick an mp3 USB in the socket. The radio will mute for a little
    whilst it searches, then press play. Left and right single press to
    select track or hold for fast forward/rev. Seems to ignore folders.

    Seems to be 50 odd memories per band per band but how to program them
    is anyones guess!
