The Shirt Pocket Aircraft And Shortwave Radio

This compact radio is about the size of a PDA yet it receives civilian aircraft bands (117-137 MHz) and shortwave transmissions (1711-30000 KHz) around the globe with the clarity of systems many times its size and weight. Made by Grundig, unrivaled engineers of shortwave radios, the device incorporates digital tuning, a keypad, and an easy-to-read backlit LCD that allow you to pinpoint communication between aircraft and ground control and find shortwave transmissions from West African music to hourly BBC broadcasts. You can switch from aircraft band, shortwave, AM, and FM reception at the touch of a button, and the entire unit stores unobtrusively in a shirt pocket. The integrated 1 1/2" speaker produces crisp, clear sound, and the radio holds 700 preset stations and has three alarms. Includes world time zone clock, automatic scanning, AC adapter, and a travel pouch. Plugs into AC or uses two AA batteries. 5" L x 3" H x 1 1/4" D. (7 1/3 oz.)
