It may be a great little receiver but the speaker is absolutely terrible! I also have a €15 D-328 and it sounds way better than this €80 model! I also like to use it to listen to music on FM and this thing sounds very muffled No high frequencies I'm really disappointed they put such a crappy speaker in an otherwise very good radio I might put a decent speaker in there myself

XHData makes some sensitive radios Excellent video!

Has neither Bluetooth nor sd card slot! Major drawback nowadays !

The 18650 battery isn’t all that common At least in my area… Went many different places to find one When I finally found one there was only 2 on the shelf As the associate explained this is something they really don’t sell allot of Purchased multiples as the hardware store replaced what I bought so I’d never have to search again

I have several radios The D808 is the least favourite of all The soft muting "chuffing" when tuning is intolerable The Tecsun PL680 is in a different league, it doesn't rely on a DSP chip, it's very sensitive and the tuning is beautifully smooth with no muting The Raddy RF919 is another radio that suffers badly from muting
Comment from : @bobwhitenstall3148

It just so happens I also have an old Grundig and I think I'll be getting one of these to compliment it

Rush on short wave; cool!!
Comment from : @jackcycling4403

For this day and age, the radio sound like Chinese junk Not impressed
Comment from : @ajett5081

I’ve heard that the state of shortwave radio is pathetic these days as there just isn’t much content relative to years past What little content there is seems to be rambling religious zealots or simply static-filled music Am I wrong?
Comment from : @georgewashington3012

have you noticed a difference on the new version in SSB I just received the new version of Xhadata and I have the impression of not being able to calibrate the SSB reception I receive the transmitters but the words remain impossible to understand
Comment from : @KrissDucky95

Nice review I have heard people complain of white noise when listening to low volume, is that something you hear?
Comment from : @danielm978

This looks like a good radio?
Comment from : @scuzzytwo7556

I have a Sears com trek nine band radio from the 1970’s that my Grandfather gave me and it is A pretty good radio

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Comment from : @Tony-1950

Although I've purchased a couple of Grundig shortwave radios in my past, think I somewhat prefer Sangean radios Sangean radios have a more finished appearance, better software user interface, and usually a lot less bugs or engineering defects Sangean usually includes weather alert frequenciesbrbrVery nice and finally a temperature displayed, as most are using a portable shortwave antenna while traveling and camping!brbrOne feature definitely lacking, is a lit keypad For some not known reason, almost no to none shortwave portable radios with a lit keypadbrbrAnother item still missing, being able to input a text file via USB or other memory device, for storing frequencies and/or tagging frequencies with an alias Probably another two decades before seeing these much needed features!brbrA warning has been published concerning 18650 style batteries, causing fires and explosions

I have the CC Skywave SSB, an Eton Satellit 750 and had a Kenwood TS 500 (receive only), and 3 GE Superadio II radios I live on the West Coast and found broadcasts and islands that I never knew about
Comment from : @RaymondWard-c1y

MW stands for Medium Wave, not MID band
Comment from : @millinchip2

I wish the LED screen would light up

If you look on the map, Blythe Ca is in the desert no mans land cost with tax and shipping etc less than $97 from Walmart I'm gonna buy a handful of hi capacity batteries for this I'll nick name mighty mouse in the house lol Thanks for the info on this tiny beast 👍
Comment from : @FlashSilverEagle

Farpoint, I'm searching for one of these sw radio, but I would like to find one with an option to record Have you come across any that hav that feature?
Comment from : @anthonyglaser929

The XHDATA D-808 has a 35mm socket for an external antenna Is that for a single wire or a paired wire?
Comment from : @timbookedtwo2375

I just wish it had the weather band!!!
Comment from : @DreadinNY

Its a great radio, good bang for buck for sure :)
Comment from : @DonzLockz

I also have had this radio on my Amazon shortlist for years and it often drops price which makes it an attractive buy I recently bought the fun Raddy RF320 which is a fabulous pocket radio with amazing sound quality and app control, but it lacks SSB and doesn't reach the CB bands which is a shame Might still have to keep an eye on this set as a slightly bigger home option 😊
Comment from : @midinotes

Farpoint farms to lisn to shortwave you should set the clock to utc
Comment from : @Greg-et2dp

Farpoint farms it is called mw band
Comment from : @Greg-et2dp

You certainly got your fingerprints on that unit lol A touchy-feely man indeed
Comment from : @zaptor1514

How do the CCrane compare to these radios? brI use my hf rig to listen to shortwave, but I'd love to have a nice smaller receiver
Comment from : @Dan-440

Is it worth getting the external antenna AN-80 if you have the included antenna I have ordered the external antenna too with my XHDATA D-808 and its coming on 2nd Jan , I didnt know there is an external antenna included in the box
Comment from : @anulearntech

iI have an XHDATA D-808 It does the job REMOVEABLE 18650 battery! I hate devices that have "built-in" batteries Everything good For the next upgrade may I suggest backlit buttons
Comment from : @timbookedtwo2375

WELL, HOW MUCH IS IT
Comment from : @HAMRADIOJOE4178

Thanks for the review After inputting frequencies, can you scan or seek with this radio?
Comment from : @dlvh007

Any ideas on how to change the 'voice/music' setting? Not mentioned in the manual and it doesn't seem to be a long press of the 4 key like the R108
Comment from : @jacko717

I dream of the day when people stop doing the pointy thing in their thumbnails I can but dream
Comment from : @hammersandnails1458

Comment from : @nr3rful

What are some good news stations? I hear nothing but preaching I can sometimes get Cuba and Canada
Comment from : @vorteco7692

We must be neighbors that station you tuned in 915 is less than 20 miles from me Lol
Comment from : @frostymug8929

The Sihuadon D-108 is truly a great SW portable radio indeed! It is one of the best radios on the market!
Comment from : @johnbeckham1483

@FarpointFarms >>> Great video👍
Comment from : @Allan_aka_RocKITEman

If that radio is still available by mail order or on line order, I might follow that path
Comment from : @alanstrong55

get your ticket
Comment from : @robertmethia7080

Love your videos man thank you for your hard work
Comment from : @jdisellitboy815

Did you open it? Does it have SW front end filters?
Comment from : @grafmontekristo902

SWL contest SSB is open now, SWL welcome
Comment from : @frankfoduw-ci8rr

Does the external antenna connect to the inbuilt sw ferrite rod internally or is it for fm only? When I plug in the cable that came with mine there’s no perceivable difference so I’m thinking it’s only helping the fm bands
Comment from : @oo0Spyder0oo

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!
Comment from : @Vovchik_38_RUS

If I could get this radio before going on a small trip on the countryside, I will have a lot of fun haha
Comment from : @gabrielv4358

XHATA or SHUIADON?
Comment from : @gabrielv4358

Comment from : @itzjoeylo4501

Comment from : @mikelee9149

Comment from : @Ross13ful

Nice !
Comment from : @richardbrobeck2384

You got 808s attention
Comment from : @808pathfinder

Shortwave does NOT give you "unfitered news" It gives you the opposing sides BS as well
Comment from : @janm2205

I received my unit yesterday with high expectations It did NOT include the carrying case or long antenna The radio seems to work fine, but I am disappointed with the missing items
Comment from : @keithp115

Hi Eric you used to have T-shirt you wore and I think maybe sold in the store but I think the gate keepers of this here platform we’re using had issues with it? I had the saying wrote down but lost the paper…it was talking about the truth and how we can’t say the truth any more? Can you send me that saying again please?
Comment from : @lawnmowerman2199

I got the Sihuadon D-808 and it is black with USB-C chargeport, I could hear lots of USA station on the CB band channel 6 etc on AM and SSB, MW is not used here in Sweden but in the afternoon, I get UK here on the W-Coast of Sweden
Comment from : @joistein

Comment from : @lasanguinaire4331

Comment from : @OffGridAussiePrepper

This is the first and only shortwave receiver I bought I don't know how to use it I use it for the airband since I live near some airports, but I need to practice some other stuff
Comment from : @vitogriffin8902

just came in from sitting by the firepit scrolling through the frequencies on my d-808

Comment from : @fixanythingdiy

I have a Digitech AR-1733 with 4 meters of speaker witless as an antenna; my radio looks very similar to your new one, although mine looks a tad smaller
