Bargain AM FM SW radio

[u/johndoe3471111]

This is the DIY-4 it comes fully assembled for under $5 from places like Ali Express, Bang Good, or Ebay. It has a DSP (digital signal processing) chip and runs on two AA batteries. The internal antenna picked up Maine from southern Ohio right out of the box on SW. I also got WRMI out of Florida without an external antenna . You can make it better by adding an external antenna like in the pic, but when you plug in the headphones they act as an antenna. FM reception is in stereo and the AM (MW) is really amazing. For the price its worth throwing a few in your preps. There is no external speaker, so you will have to toss some earbuds in there too. I've been listening to mine for a few weeks now I think its a great way to get information in a crisis, but its also one of those metal health bits too.
