What is the build quality like? Is the Lack of SSB an issue for me? Where did I purchase mine? I discuss these and other basic questions regarding the SR 286
The new Belka all mode now covers the long and medium wave bands which is handy…..shame it doesn’t do the fm broadcast bands….loving your great videos,always excellent reviews and content….best regards
Mine arrived today. Yes, there is an a plastic film over the screen it is difficult to remove, mine was well packed also came with battery and soft & hard case which has a carbon fibre effect. I think build quality is good quite solid not as good as the Belka which has a metal case, very Sony looking from late 80s early 90s in my opinion
For me, the standout feature was the fact that the muting while tuning is much less than most of the radios I’ve seen of this size. Couple that with good sensitivity on all bands, and I am impressed.
Double check that screen!! Mine looked like that and after careful prodding with a wooden skewer, sure enough - a plastic film came off. It was so perfectly aligned with the actual screen, it's very hard to detect. Seriously - check it. 73
I received one of these from Ali Express, I was very surprised to see that there was a battery included. I'm very happy with the radio.

Muito top seus comentários parabéns vou comprar um pra mim …
How does it compare with other receivers on shortwave in terms of DXing? thanks.
It's a design copy of Sony SW1. Then couldn't manage to copy speaker design of original elliptical SW1. Instead just added simple round one.

玩机愉快兄弟🎉
One review said that there is a screen protector but it is extremely thin.
Yes I now think that is the case.

Thanks, I think you are correct!
It's true I thought with mine which arrived after only 6 days btw the screen couldn't be that badly scratched lol. Brilliant radio
