- This is my review of the XHDATA D-219 High Sensitivity 11-Band Receiver. They currently sell for around $10.00 on Amazon depending on price and coupon. I bought it for $9.47 plus tax after using a 12% off coupon last month.
Please note that I am reviewing the 10 KHz version of this radio, which is compatible to North America and South America. I also gave out the wrong call letters for 1710 AM, which is WQFG689. - Розваги
The D-219 is a real bargain for SW listeners who can cope with its somewhat muffled sound and the chopped sound when browsing bands due to its being DSP-based.
It *is* very sensitive indeed. Mine sometimes make weak signals readable which I can't listen to on more expensive radios. It's also prone to some overloading and FM breakthrough. But this is the price to pay for its being so sensitive, I guess.
Note that its color really has nothing to do with it using 9 or 10 kHz steps in AM. At least not outside of the US.
I have two of them, different colors, but both are the 9 kHz variant. I actually have bought both of them even before the 10 kHz model appeared.
Nice review, thanks.
Thank you for the feedback. Have a good weekend.
Actually the chopping sound is due to this radio using an inexpensive DSP chip from Skyworks (in this case it's the Si 4825-A10). High end DSP tuners don't have that stuttering problem.
The D-219 with the 10 kHz stepping is available only in dark gray. If you see the silver variant it's definitely the 9 kHz stepping version.
Nice review Mike for $10 you couldn't get nothing better
Thank you Jim. Have a good night.
Nice Band Scan. Cool little radio, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Todderbert. Have a good night.
Just bought one today on Amazon for 8.98 after 8% off coupon . I like the 10 hz steps .
Awesome!
If you're wondering what the 64-87 MHz band is doing here, the 66-74 MHz OIRT band is still active in some Eastern countries, some being peaceful, while others keep saying how peaceful they are 🤣 and I believe there's an off secondary FM band in China, idk... for student/college broadcasting? 🤔 And don't forget about Japan's FM band, which is 76-95 MHz... so it actually comes broken in 2 parts on this radio 🤦♂️🤣
It would've been nice to expand the FM to those frequencies in the United States. Unfortunately, those frequencies are being used for television. Thank you for watching and have a good day.
There is a Ham band for model airplane controllers in the 72-76 MHz range I’d have to look it up and also medical telemetry devices are in this area so as a wireless heart monitors etc. In the US that is considered a utility band.
Thanks for the review and 73!
I received a wireless clock synchronization signal called Primex Wireless Time Sync in that range. There is a video of that on my channel.
This portable D-219 radio offers excellent station reception and is very worth it for only 10 Bucks :) Great catch and buy my friend, hope you enjoy your new device. Thanks for sharing and nice Sunday 73!
I love it for the AM & FM. Shortwave is more of a bonus for me, but it can pick up stations on those bands. Thank you so much for watching.
It’s a very nice portable radio to get some good stations and DXing
I agree. Thank you for watching and have a good night.
This version is the 10 kilohertz AM version. My XHDATA D219 is 9 at 9khz on AM
Awesome! Thank you watching and have a good night.
Looks like a great radio for the price.
It is. Thank you for watching and have a good night.
The dial looks pretty confusing for the Shortwave
21:44 thanks for this trick maybe it will help my low end HanRongDa HRD 737 radio with shortwave. Does the trick work with All Radio bands?
Yes, if the overload is from an AM station. If the overload is from an FM station, this trick won't work.
27:18 lol it does when I receive Ham Radio Stations Ghosting on shortwave.
I've got one. It's a keeper. Could be fun for dxing on MW. Try it with a Tecsun AN-200 loop.
Nice! This radio is worth the money. I don't have a Tecsun AN-200, but I have similar passive loop antennas like the Terk Advantage.
This is nice radio , i already have 📻
Thank you. Have a good weekend.
If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious how you would rate the shortwave performance between this and the Eton Elite Mini. I'm planning on getting the Mini mainly for FM listening, but $10 is really tempting for fiddling around with SW if it is any better.
The XHDATA D-219 is more sensitive on SW than the Eton Elite Mini. Thank you for watching and have a good weekend.
@@tvradio1972 Wow, that makes it very tempting. Thank you for the reply, I'll going to give it some serious consideration. Have a good weekend too!
I bought this down to Delmarva with me so I can bandscan Shortwave easy without a digital tuner
Cool! Let me know how it goes. Have a good night.
My HanRongDa has the FM 2 but it has too much FM Ghosting From WBZO 103.1and WWSK 94.3 I know the retekess Radio has the same thing. at least XHDATA has good FM filtering for FM2
That's true. The FM filtering on it is good. Thank you for watching, and have a good night.
@@tvradio1972 you too!
Sir Which one is Powerful Reception on "MW Band" Between
