  • @johnu78 so what are short radios for? are they like 2-way radios (walkie talkies)?My alarm clock has radio is that similar? lol

  • @istrehn

    Do a wikipedia search on "shortwave radio receiver", then you'll find your answer. Take care, John

  • Its also just really interesting to listening to. I don't really believe in the kill switch or most other conspiracy theories, and do not like Alex Jones.

    However, it is a life saver when your power goes out. I've had a couple of different times when the power was out that my shortwave came in handy, both for information and to help relieve boredom.

  • @815Sox

    Thank you for your comment. Take care, John

  • Lets hope that radio was not made in China.

  • @evilunixuser1

    I think it was made in Japan.

  • Get a station not a receiver.

  • Nice radio BUT a radio without a tuning dial is a royal pain! A E5 from Eton is a better choice!

  • hey how much did you pay for that shortwave radio?  I am in the process of ordering a Kaito WRX-911 AM/FM Shortwave Radio and I was wondering what you would recommend?

  • JEWS want internet closed.Rev 2:9..3:9,,they are the Synagogue of satan

    The Communists are against religion (Christianity),and they seek to destroy religion;yet,when we look deeper into the nature of Communism,we see that it is essential nothing else than a religion(Judaism)

    (A Program for the Jews and Humanity,Rabbi Harry Waton, p.138)

    Jews are Ashkenazi,Khazars,they adopted judaism(satanism)in 740 black see kingdom

    Please read this book for free on internet.

  • Go to Best Buy and ask about shortwave. They'll look at you like you're from Mars. (And a "station" or other boat anchor is useless when you need to move fast.)

  • @815Sox lols yeah i know what you mean I bought one right before the hurricane went near Maine and my neighborhood lost power for 5 days they a great to have especially for emergencies

  • @istrehn short wave radios have been around since about the 1920s. They operate on frequencies (the upper AM band) that let you hear radio broadcasts from all over the world.....Cuba, England, Germany, Russia etc, etc. They are not like walkie talkies, they are only for listening. This is how people used to get news from all over the world before the internet & computers. If the Internet ever went down in an emergency you could still hear whats going on.

  • Get an R-390A. a REAL radio, not a cheap toy. Yeah, expensive, heavy, but its mil-spec & a good one will outlive you..
