Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Rolf Snijder, who writes:<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from my new XHData D-808.
\nIt performs well, only a soft muting when I change the dial.<\/p>\n

Longwave is not great–it receives, but is too weak. Mediumwave and shortwave look great for this radio.<\/p>\n

Have a great new year!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
