Overview
Not a plain AM and FM clock radio, the D808 covers shortwave, longwave and air band as well, with SSB and RDS decoding. An LCD shows the tuning and clock, a rechargeable battery powers it, and an external antenna input is built in.
Wide band coverage in a pocket-size radio is the reason to look at it for travel, hobby listening and aviation monitoring. The alarm clock makes it a bedside option too. The limitation is accessories: the listing names only an owner's manual and gives no charging cable.
Who it's for
Shortwave listeners, aviation fans and travelers following news from far away get the most from the extra bands. Casual listeners who only tune FM stations will not use most of the features.
Pros and cons
- Shortwave, longwave and air band coverage
- SSB and RDS support
- External antenna connection
- Built-in alarm clock
- Not water resistant
- Charging cable not listed in the box
Performance notes
Shortwave and air band reception depends on the antenna, the time of day and the listening location, and the external antenna input helps when the built-in one is weak. SSB mode lets the radio resolve amateur and utility signals that normal AM tuning cannot. Battery life depends on volume and display use.
