D109WB Portable Rechargeable Emergency Shortwave Radio Receivers with SOS Alarm FM/AM/LW Radio Mains or Battery Powered Dual Alarms Clock Headphones Output TF/Bluetooth MP3 Player

Great little radio punches above its weight, love the auto tune and store feature, looks great with bright display, battery being rechargable is very handy and seems to last quite a while.

This is so good for the money. And I can verify that I have a 64g Micro SD card with MP3's on it and it all works perfectly. Great sound, and easy to program, and you can flip through the programmed channels which you can't do on the more expensive XDATA D-808. Buy one ......before the price goes up! Update...The tuning knob was a bit tight to turn, so I very carefully popped it out by sliding a small penknife underneath and giving it a twist. A very SMALL dab of oil on the outer spindle and the case of the radio has made this so much better.

This XHDATA D109 Portable Rechargeable Digital Radio is a good all round radio. The only thing I can say in the negative is the battery does not last long enough and needs to be charged (plugged in) quite often. Saying that, I use it regularly but normal bettery radio's I have had previous seemed have lasted a lot longer. Apart from that, it has good sound and feels solid and weighty with the feel of good quality. All in all I am happy I bought it. I hope that helps future buyers.

Value for money but buid quality could be better.

Lovely radio

This small pocket radio has an incredible amount of features: compact size, multiple frequency bands, 600 memories, scanning function, AM bandwidth control, easy tuning, very good sound quality, clock, two alarms, sleep timer, thermometer. It is seriously impressive and is the best portable radio I own. In fact I also bought the Roberts R9993 and the Panasonic 2400D (see picture). I love all three radios however the XHData beats them all in terms of features. The size is not much bigger than my mobile phone so it is very convenient to carry around. On one point however the Roberts is much better on the LW band. Also if you want lots of loud volume, the larger Panasonic might be better. Overall though, the XHData is a hot radio which I absolutely recommend.

No signals received in Ireland. Have sent it back for a refund. No refund has been received yet.

Very happy with this radio, Excellent reception on FM and MW. LW reception varies, I can’t really pick much up on SW it’s possibly my flat as I’m in a old building. I also like the method of tuning I.e. turning the tuning knob and No bleep noises when changing frequencies, as well as entering the frequency using the number buttons. Overall very happy with this radio and would recommend it

Ótimo rádio não é muito simples de operar mas com o tempo fica fácil, a pilha dura bem e carrega rápido. Estou muito satisfeito está me atendendo muito bem. O som dele pelo tamanho do alto falante é ótimo.

Radio perfecta para los amantes radioaficionados

Super

From the moment I picked up the XHDATA D109WB, I could tell it was something special. Despite its relatively compact dimensions, this little radio delivers on ambition: AM, FM, SW, LW, NOAA weather band with alerts, Bluetooth, MP3/TF card playback, alarm clocks, SOS mode — and all wrapped in a solid, thoughtful design. Design & Features Right up front: this radio doesn’t skimp. The D109WB supports FM (64–108 MHz), AM/MW (522–1620 kHz), LW (153–513 kHz), SW (1711–29999 kHz), and NOAA weather channels (162.400–162.550 MHz) with alert capability. It also offers generous memory capacity: 100 presets each for FM, LW, MW and up to 300 for SW. The audio side is strong too: a 40 mm speaker with 5 W spec, 2 W output, plus TF (microSD) card support (up to 32 GB) and Bluetooth mode for use as a wireless speaker. In terms of build, it feels robust — buttons have good tactility, the tuning knob and volume wheel are responsive, and there’s a flip-out stand and rubber feet. The radio is powered by a rechargeable 18650 battery, with USB-C charging. he designers also included external antenna and headphone jacks, which opens up flexibility for listening setups. One particularly clever touch is variable-speed tuning: turn the knob slowly for fine 1 kHz (or equivalent) steps; turn it faster and it jumps in larger increments (e.g. 10 kHz on FM). That gives you both precision and convenience depending on how fast you want to scan. Also, a DX/Local switch helps tame overload when using external antennas or in strong signal areas. Performance & Reception My experience — and reports from other users — confirm this is not just a specs sheet radio: it performs. On FM, stations come in cleanly with surprising strength, often matching much pricier sets. The weather band/NOAA reception is also solid. On shortwave, performance is very good for a radio in this class: I was able to pick up distant SW stations and compare side-by-side with more expensive radios and find that, in many cases, the D109WB held its own. Some reviewers say it rivals or nearly matches a CCrane Skywave 2 in many signals. External antennas help further, although one must take care to manage overload (the DX/Local switch is useful here). Audio from the built-in speaker is surprisingly full and enjoyable for spoken programs or lighter music. In Bluetooth or TF card mode it becomes a quite respectable little media speaker. Battery life is also commendable: users report many hours of operation even with frequent use, and the radio holds charge impressively. Extras & Usability The extra features really push this over the top. The NOAA weather alert function is a standout — the radio can scan the weather frequencies and alert even when you’re not tuned exactly inline. The SOS alarm mode is a thoughtful inclusion for field or emergency use. Dual alarms, sleep timer, backlit display, key lock — these small touches enhance all-around usability. At its price point, the XHDATA D109WB delivers outstanding value. It’s not perfect — you won’t get SSB capability (so ham sidebands are out), and the manual could be more intuitive — but compared to what it offers, these are small compromises. Many reviewers call it a “sweet spot” device for price vs. performance. For casual listeners, emergency prep, travel, or as an introduction to multiband listening, it’s a very compelling choice. Highly recommended.

This radio is a well-rounded performer with excellent reception, especially on MW (AM) and shortwave bands. FM reception holds up well too, making it a reliable all-band companion for everyday listening or travel. Sound quality is surprisingly good for its compact size, with a decent amount of bass and clarity. It includes two audio profiles—Music and Voice—which help fine-tune the sound depending on what you're listening to. While it doesn’t offer a full EQ, these modes provide a useful level of customization. The build feels solid and dependable. One of the most welcome upgrades over the previous version is the rubbery buttons, which offer a much better tactile feel and responsiveness. However, it would be great if the buttons were backlit, as using the radio in the dark can be challenging. The display is also a bit dim, which may affect visibility in bright conditions, though it remains usable. Pros: Excellent MW and shortwave reception Solid FM performance Clear, rich audio with Music/Voice modes Much-improved rubber buttons Sturdy and travel-friendly design Cons: Buttons are not backlit for dark use Display is a bit dim in bright lighting Only basic sound profiles (no full EQ) Verdict: Whether you're into shortwave listening or just want a capable, good-sounding portable radio, this one hits a sweet spot for performance, usability, and value. A thoughtful update over its predecessor, with practical improvements where they matter.
