Best budget radio receiver for listening to MW, SW and FM

You can find very cheap price radio receiver but these receivers do not have digital frequency display.

So the goal is to have receiver with digital frequency display to listen AM radios on medium wave and shortwave.

i find few models

Retekess have a lot of models

I think this one is very interesting for a listener, you can listen many frequencies.

TECSUN PL-330

TECSUN PL330

This small size radio can listen SSB mode and have a external antenna.

Tecsun PL-330 is a portable PLL DSP multiband receiver with SSB and Synchronous Detection.

The DSP microchip digitizes the analog radio signal which, in combination with the PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry, greatly improves the radio's sensitivity, selectivity, S/N ratio and anti-interference capability.

The PL-330 receiver has Tecsun's new ETM+ feature, which gives the possibility of setting up time-specific memories for long wave (LW), medium wave (AM) and shortwave (SW). Its compact size is ideal for travelling. Let the radio wake you up in the morning by setting the alarm, or set the sleep timer to auto turn-off the device while listening before going to sleep. Charge the battery by connecting the radio to a 5V USB charger, one similar to those used for most smartphones and tablets.

SW: 1711 kHz to 29999 kHz
LW: 153 kHz to 513 kHz
MW: 520 – 1710 kHz
FM: 64 – 108 MHz

Price 70 euros ( 77 US Dollars ) for Europe
