Review: Bundle - It's an OK buy, the v4 is better
Review: Absolute garbage: How it is still being sold is a mystery - Nooelec has been pandering this garbage for years. How much money they have embezzled is anyone's guess but it is a mystery why desertcart continues to offer it. You might pick up a shortwave radio station, as in one, but you would be far better off using the online receivers than these hardware gimmicks. It's junk. It has never been anything more than junk. There is no customer service and Nooelec refuses to respond to customer observations directly. Do not buy. Period.
