Shortwave is weak
I bought this because I wanted to hear stations in either Europe or the Middle East. I really can't hear any of those places. I heard Toronto, Mexico, one Asian country, and a French speaking station that wasn't come out clear enough. The AM and FM are very good, though. And it is a very small radio. But I am looking for a strong Shortwave at a bargain, and I didn't get that.

Great pocket radio, superb reception. Rivals tabletops.
I own a Grundig Satellit 700 and a Sangean ATS-803A, reputed to be serious contenders in the sensativity/reception category. This little gem is great. It picks up everything my Grundig can on it's internal whip antenna. Granted some of the weak signals are inaudible on the WRX911, but honestly are impossible to hear on the Grundig as well. I love this radio so much I purchased a second one just to squirrel away as a backup. Do yourself a favor and pick one up to take with you everywhere. I tuck it in my pocket to pull out at any time I want a world news fix. It picks up AM/FM equally as well. Worth every dime, I think you'll agree.
