Review on XHD®TECSUN Receiver Broadcast Built Speaker by Megan Edwards

The reception is actually very good. Management is easy. The volume wheel is a power button that can feel a bit fiddly at times. The tuning wheel is good and can drift a bit over time. He needs a stand. I have a Tecsun PL-380 which is much more expensive and has a stand. However, the R909 sounds phenomenally better than the PL-380, at least for music. I prefer 380 clarity for voice stations. I've never figured out what the DX/Local switch actually does. The DX only seems to amplify the signal while reducing the amplified noise a bit. Basically it just makes the signal louder. As far as I know this is the best radio you can buy in this price range.
