\"\"Actually, the price is showing as $46.78 from DinoDirect.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Kchibo D96L<\/a> is considered a bargian small radio and always reviews well. \u00a0Based on the Silicon Labs Si4734 DSP chip, this receiver has excellent selectivity and sensitivity for a radio in its price range–especially on the AM broadcast or Mediumwave band.<\/p>\n

I’ve found that the D96L is hard to find these days. In fact, this is the first time I’ve found one for sale outside of eBay.<\/p>\n

I’ve never purchased from DinoDirect, but they claim a 30 day money-back guarantee and free shipping.<\/p>\n

Before purchasing, read reviews<\/a> and check out our entry for the D96L in the Shortwave Radio Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please note: I cannot endorse DinoDirect as I could a regional shortwave radio\u00a0retailer. I would love feedback if any readers have used them before.<\/p>\n

Note: It appears if you enter the promo code “sharkcoupon” you receive an additional 10% discount.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
