Part 2 of looking at the $15-$20 generic K605/K-605 radio. Shortwave reception does work but definitely needs some creative antenna solutions to help - especially near-field induction by just having the long wire passing under the back of the radio. It's still a bit noisy but not nearly as bad as the Retekess V115. If you are new to shortwave - there are probably better choices, but if you are cost sensitive - you can do things to get a workable shortwave solution.

General spec: FM/MW/SW/MP3
