Meet the QODOSEN DX-286 portable radio, designed for enthusiasts who value clear reception, flexible tuning, and dependable performance on the go. Built around a high-grade TEF6686 DSP automotive chip, the DX-286 blends advanced signal processing with a compact form that fits in a bag or backpack without sacrificing features.

Crystal-clear reception and versatile bands

The DX-286 supports LW, MW, AM, FM, and shortwave, with a telescopic or ferrite rod antenna switching function. A built-in attenuator and a low-noise amplifier help manage tough signals and reduce stray noise, while the external antenna option expands your reach for far-off stations.

Key advantages include:

• Ultra-high SNR and sharp selectivity for clearer audio, even in noisy environments.
• Support for external antennas and a flexible switching mechanism for antenna types.
• Direct frequency input, SNR/RSSI display, and multiple tuning modes for precise tuning.
• RBDS/RDS data reception for program information and station data when available.

Powerful, flexible memory and tuning

The DX-286 brings long-haul listening conveniences with 1000 cross-band memories and 100 editable memory pages. You can tune quickly with direct entry, adjust squelch, and tailor tone and signal processing levels to your preference. A one-key mute, backlight options, and LCD control provide easy operation in dim light or in motion.

Compact and travel-ready, the device measures about 5.27 inches wide by 2.99 inches high and 1.18 inches deep. It runs on a rechargeable 18650 battery (included) and ships with a fleece bag, USB charging cable, a protective carrying case, and a user manual.
