I don't normally buy stuff from Ebay. But when I do, it's a XHDATA D-808 that
isn't legally sold in North America. Cost $AUD 118 including shipping from
Australia via Singapore. It arrived by Canada Post on Friday, less than 2
weeks after I ordered it. It's a little bigger than the C Crane
I can say my unmodified XHDATA D-808 has superb sensitivity on MW. The
selectivity is very good also. It also has excellent nulling capability by
rotating the radio. I much prefer it over the Grundig Executive traveler
for ease of operation. I got it on ebay for around $90 dollars last
summer.
Detailed information concerning the new, Chinese-made XHDATA D-808
AM-LW-FM-SW-AIR portable has been posted previously, including its
hot-performing AM-DXing loopstick, SSB capability and rechargeable lithium-ion
battery. This model was "inspired" (to be generous) by the C.Crane Skywave

Yes, normally I would do that in a full review, but this was kind of a special
case of a foreign-designed model that was unavailable in
. I don't know if a 18650 qualifies and have not found a clear
answer.

Where can you buy one? The sites I've checked won't ship it to the US
(not FCC-approved, maybe?).

After receiving an inquiry from Mark Roberts concerning the new XHDATA D-808's
FM-DXing sensitivity, I decided to run a detailed comparison with the Tecsun

The XHDATA D-808 portable is an FM-AM-SW-SSB-AIR band model which has already
