Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Jeff McMahon, who notes that he’s published his thoughts about the Qodosen DX-286 [SWLing Post affiliate link] over on his blog, The Herculodge. While the DX-286 had solid AM reception, its audio quality and build didn’t quite meet his needs.
In the end, Jeff opted for a more robust choice for his setup. Curious about his experience with the DX-286 and why he made the switch? Read Jeff’s review here.
I agree the small speaker is limited in sonic fidelity.
I agree the “kickstand” looks delicately frail and for me creates the wrong viewing angle.
In other reviews I agree the 3 kHz bandwidth setting needs a 2 kHz too.
The two lithium batteries supplied in package
labelled “BFN 3400 ma-hr”
which are protected button top 18650 (aka 19670)
actually test out closer to 2600 ma-hr.
Memorizing the complicated instructions would give even “The Amazing Kreskin” a headache.
But there are other impressive qualities.
