The Melson S8 is a DSP-based portable AM/FM/Shortwave receiver with MP3 playback. What sets the Melson apart from other sub $50 portables is the exceptional response from the radio’s built-in speaker.
While shortwave reception is mediocre–with a high noise floor on some bands–AM and FM are average for this class of portable. The MP3 playback feature is truly amazing. With a 16 GB MicroSD card inserted (widely available for $10 or less) a listener has weeks of audio listening at their disposal.
