On the web there are many descriptions of this Weltempfaengers, almost all positive. My Experience confirms this. Even on the ground floor with telescopic antenna I can many stations received even from anderern continents. Unique in this price range is the Synchronous detector, which is often the reception further improved. Only two points annoy me: - No variable voting, but 1 kHz steps with short mute - The per se good clock (local / world time, DST) is visible when the radio is not on and you on most needs.
