I bought this radio several days before. It works very well:good sound, world receiver, and cheap. The only disadvantage maybe 3 not 2 aaa batteries required. Who mind this disadvantage? I don't mind, and I am thinking about buy another one for my parents.I live in CT and I can receive radio station from China, and Japan. I don't know if it receives station from central america but I did received some stations speaking Spanish though I don't understand.Good radio!

It really depends on a lot of factors such as your reception quality, background interfearence and even the weather. However, if all your conditions are ideal, you should realistically be able to pick up anything; the radio may be small, but it has excellent reception.

I live in Vancouver Canada and have not used the radio that much here. I have heard a few religious stations from here. I took the radio on a cruise from Hong Kong to China, South Korea and into Japan and the World Band radio stations were all over the meter bands. I was most impressed. Sorry though about the limited response from me about your question. If there are any stations to be picked up then this radio should work well for you as it did for me in Asia.

Mark; I don't understand your question! I use only ham bands and it is an excellent little radio. I have heard others use out of band freq.

In my opinion, as with any sw radio, your chances of getting music from other countries will be greatly enhanced with the use of an external antenna. There are numerous web sites which are helpful in selecting the best outside antenna to use.

No. This is not the C.Crane radio that includes shortwave. That is the CC Skywave Radio With AM, FM, Shortwave, Weather and Aviation. Check them out at ccrane.com .

Unfortunately, I can't help with whether it would work in South America. I have used it sparingly since I got a regular TV antenna.

Short wave works ok. Just receives am no ssb. But it is pretty amazing how well it picks up the stations. It really picks up am local broadcast here in the us very good, for its size and cost. I really like mine

Not sure what your asking about the Mexican frequencies? But the unit transmits the frequencies required and has nothing to do with where you are, its line of sight transmission. But having said that it is possible that Mexico uses those frequencies for uses that would interfere with your unit or even render it unusable!! So I would try and find out if the frequencies are used by government or commercial entities before I would buy the unit. Hope this helps?

This radio does not have satellite radio reception such as Sirus or XM.I receives AM, FM and Short Wave. Sorry.

FM radio circuit is built in to this radio but it won't receive shortwave radio. You'd need a different type of radio for that.

I use this radio in the village and jungle in central America and as I stated, I use a copper wire piece as added antenna and I get 2 channels out of 6 stations. I would say, it compares good, because when I rent a car, it also only gets 2 stations in the village.As a side note, I'm going to cut the antenna to the last/thickest section of the antenna and add a car antenna to the top of that. This should be perfect as it would give me a 3 foot antenna, instead of the OEM 12 inch antenna.

From my experience, tuning in shortwave mode is very very sensitive. A slight twitch and you're in/out of focus. I was only able to find a handful of stations. About 3 Spanish ones (either Spain or South America), 1 from Australia, and couple around US (mostly religious stations). I'm based in Colorado, US.
