Default Re: Multiband shortwave radio from Tesco.

I bought one of these on Friday, as did one of my sons.

Not a great deal to be heard on SW, but that's probably due to bad conditions. FM is very respectable, and the audio and sensitivity are good. MW and LW seem to be on a par with other things of this size I have.

Two things, though; Connecting a wire to the antenna seems to swamp out the radio, and also, the sound from the speaker reduces quite a bit everytime I move the tuning knob - and this is annoying.

Is the sound reduction normal when tuning this on SW?
