I did some extensive testing of this radio outdoors while at my vacation place in Brittany that is a great place for SW reception.
Even on its short whip antenna, it compared to my PL-330. Amazing. Its quite decent speaker helps too.
I've had some problems when I connected it to a long wire antenna, though. Stations stepping on each other. Its excellent sensitivity is paid with a certain lack of selectivity when reception is strong.
Of course, it requires fairy fingers to tune on SW and the fat needle over a crammed scale only gives you a very rough idea of what frequency you're tuned to.
Still a lot of radio for a small price. I like it.
The XHdata D-219 is the one to get. It separates shortwave into a bunch of bands to make tuning/finding the station you want easier.
The moment when I first saw early pictures of the the D-220, I knew that this was meant to be an FM/AM radio with a SW band thrown in as a bonus.
It's a good radio for peeps who rarely, if ever, bother to tune to shortwave broadcast stations. I'd buy this if it had 9 shortwave bands like the D-219.
Cool.
Interesting.
Definitely needs a wire antenna. But it does pick up SW stations - it’s just a pain to tune on Short Wave.
📻🙂
Yes, exactly
Maybe you could test the radios outside to avoid electronic interference when using an internal antenna...
I do that in the winter but right now it is too hot in Florida to be outside.
@@hamrad88 you are right, i forgot you are in florida !!!!
Tom's radio room show your RUclips videos are awesome my friend
Hi Tom really enjoy your videos The problem with some pocket radios is there's too much crammed into a short space you have 5.6 all the way to 22 in a tight area if the bands were separated a little bit it would work better
I agree. I like small radios that have multiple shortwave bands.
Tom's radio room show iam thinking about getting my Grms license my friend

Tom's radio room show your XHDATA D-220 AM FM 1 FM2 sw 4band portable radio is awesome my friend
Tom's radio room show iam thinking about getting the XHDATA D-608WB AM FM sw wx Bt mp3 weather Alert emergency portable receiver my friend
I have the D-608WB and it's definitely not the preferred radio in my collection. It's nice for FM/BT/MP3 because of its excellent speaker, but really not great for SW.
It's noisy, it lacks selectivity. It lacks direct frequency entry too. Tuning it is a pain.
@@F4LDT-Alain I returned mine after having it for 10 days. The hand crank mechanism became noisier after a short while. The only thing I liked about the D-608WB was its high contrast and large LCD display.
The D-608WB should be all right with people who didn't buy it as a shortwave radio, but as a multi-purpose emergency FM/AM radio and flashlight.
I prefer my radios and my flashlights to be separate entities, mo ami! 😀
I agree that it's not the best radio for SW listeners by far.
It's pretty good to listen to FM broadcast due to its great speaker, although it's not the most sensitive.
As for the lights, they come handy during outdoors night SWL sessions, especially the one at the top.
To what I see of that room you are in it looks like a RI nightmare
Good review otherwise
