Is this radio good for SSB shortwave listening?

Yes. It has independent USB and LSB reception with a 10 Hz fine-tuning step, which is the key feature for SSB. The 5 kHz shortwave tuning step is coarser than some dedicated receivers, so fine-tuning matters.

Does it cover the AM broadcast band in the US?

Yes. Mediumwave runs 520 to 1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps, which matches US AM broadcast spacing. Longwave and shortwave are also included.

Can it receive FM stations worldwide?

Its FM range starts at 64 MHz and runs to 108 MHz, so it covers the lower OIRT band used in parts of Eastern Europe as well as the standard 87.5 to 108 MHz band.

What is the cheapest price for this radio?
