XHDATA D-808 World Band Synthesized Receiver

[@anthonydmatthews]

by far the most in depth review and operation of this radio. You earned a new subscriber. Thank you for the very informative review

[@tvradio1972]

Welcome aboard, and thank you for subscribing. Have a good weekend.

I have this same radio and use it constantly. It is the stand-by radio as far as I’m concerned. It’s MW section is awesome. Great selection of bandwidths as well. Beautiful headphones experience. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@tvradio1972]

Thank you. I just wish XHDATA (Sihuadon) would do something to fixed the popping on headphones when changing bands. My Radiwow R-108 has that same problem. Otherwise, it's a great radio.

[@radellaf]

@@tvradio1972 my new black sihuadon 808 does not pop on band changes! dunno if that’s on all of them but very happy. Just got it in the mail today.

[@tvradio1972]

@@radellaf You might have the new version. Does yours have the USB-C or the Micro USB port? Mine has the Micro USB port.

[@radellaf]

@@tvradio1972 It must be new, C port and just bought it

[@tvradio1972]

@@radellaf Yes, it's the new version. Mine is an older one.

[@Dan-440]

I just got mine and am really struggling with it. The last radio I bought was my Yaesu Ft900 CAT. I will be glad to learn how to type in frequencies.

[@ObamaoZedong]

Just picked one up. It would be 10/10 for me if it had weather band.

[@george-ev1dq]

the weather is transmitted via local stations in practically every country in the world, the weather band is old hat and antiquated, never been in a country that still relies on a weather band other than the USA.

[@jimgordon1563]

Thank you for this. It's a favourite of mine too. It's the radio I recommend to newbies to Dxing It's light weight means it's good for travelling .

[@tvradio1972]

You're welcome. They are getting a great receiver even with the flaws when listening on headphones at low levels. It has great reception that's almost on par with the Eton Elite Executive.

[@jimgordon1563]

@@tvradio1972 I have the Executive too and I agree with you. Be careful of the D808's telescopic aerial. It has a tendency to be become loose from its mounting within the case. I usually carry a Phillips screwdriver with me when I travel with it!

[@danielm978]

​@@tvradio1972what is the flaw when listening with headphones at low level? I was planning to buy it because i heard it was great with headphones?

[@almoalmoo]

Greetings from the United States. Have a good weekend, and thank you for watching.

[@RadioWhiz]

I like this XHDATA Radio when I have money I'll buy this radio to replace my HanRongDa!

[@tvradio1972]

Cool!

[@Vovchik_38_RUS]

Hi, friend ! Thank you very much for such a good review and detailed answer. differences between these receivers. I want to order the same receiver of the new version. to your collection. There is tecsun pl660 and tecsun pl330. I think the xhdata d-808 will perform well in field conditions, just like the tecsun pl660. Thank you very much for your review. definitely a like from me. I'll have time to wait for you on my channel. 73!

[@tvradio1972]

Thank you so much for watching. I just went to your channel and subscribed. I look forward to watching your videos later on. Have a good weekend.

[@Vovchik_38_RUS]

@tvradio1972 thank you very much 😊

[@viarnay]

At 27:00 is Radio Exterior de España talking about damn football 😊

[@george-ev1dq]

Brilliant little set that can be bought for peanuts, only downside it that this set will not scan the ham bands.

[@kazantipa]

Привет из Якутии🤝🐻У меня есть d-808. Я не могу понять, что означает слово Timer на дисплее, и как его убрать?

[@kazantipa]

Привет! Стоит такой d-808 сегодня со всеми скидками 5600 рублей (70$)., какой лучше купить за эти деньги или меньшие, в лес, в тайгу, в Якутию, так иногда время скоротать, покрутить...

[@RadioWhiz]

27:31 I've received noise like that on shortwave what does that mean?

[@Homer19521]

Which portable has a good sounding speaker? I did not like the DX286 SQ. Muddy sounding.

[@tvradio1972]

The XHDATA D-808 sounds pretty good. The Radiwow R-108, now known as the Sihuadon R-108, has great audio. Thank you for watching and have a good weekend.

[@Chrish_k]

Missing front end filters in USB-C ones, not sure of the effect on FM bleed over to SW

[@tvradio1972]

OfficialSWLChannel has a video comparing the old and new D-808s, including the front-end filters. Here is the link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4m5hIKOqrmYjckfeature=shared

[@worldking5441]

there are no more short-wave stations. forty years ago there were hundreds

[@tvradio1972]

There are still SW stations left. It's mostly outside the U.S. although some exist there like WWV, WBCQ, WRMI, and WWCR, just to name a few. You can also receive stations from other countries depending on shortwave propagation conditions.

[@RadioWhiz]

Yes there's some shortwave radio stations! Me and Mike have videos about shortwave radio!

[@cabaneencac5168]

There are still plenty of religious radio stations trying to sell you their shit

[@Cpsathargmailcom]

120 stations still

[@Chrish_k]

And what's your antenna setup?

[@anulearntech]

the LW of this radio is weak ive heard. But anyway, LW seems to be going obsolete now.

[@tvradio1972]

I have received non-directional beacons from Canada on Longwave, but not with this radio. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@anulearntech]

@@tvradio1972 merry Christmas to you too.

[@user-mf9nu2ml9q]

Could this be better than Sony 7600GR ?

[@tvradio1972]

I don't know. I don't have that radio.

[@georgebarnes8163]

the only fault with these radios is that they will only scam to a max of 26 Mhz on short wave, 26-30Mhz can only be tuned manually.

[@radellaf]

yeah that’s a pain for ham band scanning, and true of all the ham bands on this one. For looking for SW stations, tho, it’s kinda nice to just scan the SW bands.

[@omaral-amoudi2295]

نصيحة لا تشتري هذا الموديل ولكن اشتري الأفضل d-109

[@tvradio1972]

I've seen reviews of the D-109, and they are mixed. Some of them tend to have overload issues if you live near strong MW stations. I might pass on buying that one.

[@RobBob555]

You should say "ah" 4 million times 🙄🤦

[@tvradio1972]

What can I say? Nobody's perfect. 🤷

[@jeffeeeeeee]

​@tvradio1972 you gave a detailed and comprehensive breakdown of this value for money radio which 99.9% of us appreciate. Then pops up a single celled omoeba that can only criticise. How pathetic. Greetings from outback Australia,just purchased this radio yesterday and subscribed to your channel 😊
