Radio Jay reviews the updated XHDATA D-109WB!

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

I bought a D-808 a few years ago and I can attest that on MW it is as good or better than every desktop receiver that I own.  Not sure about this new version but they got it right for the 808 (which if my memory is correct I purchased from a site in China and the radio was shipped to me from Israel).  The only thing that I don’t like is that the radio can’t use regular alkaline batteries - just a rechargeable lithium ion type.
