Our take on the SUPERSONIC 9 Band AM/FM/SW1-7 Portable

The Supersonic 9-Band is a portable analog radio covering AM, FM and seven shortwave bands, aimed at listeners who want long-distance and international broadcasts without a digital tuner. It runs on batteries or a rechargeable pack and has a telescopic antenna plus a memory card reader for playing files. It is a basic, low-cost shortwave set: tuning is by dial, so it is less precise than digital radios such as the Tecsun PL-380 or Eton Elite, and it lacks the weather band, Bluetooth and recording features of pricier rivals. It suits casual shortwave listeners and emergency-preparedness buyers, not hobbyists chasing weak signals.
