XHDATA D109WB Portable Shortwave AM/FM NOAA Radio

The XHDATA D109WB is a compact, battery or USB-powered shortwave/AM/FM/LW/weather-band radio that doubles as a Bluetooth MP3 speaker with NOAA alerts and an SOS alarm.

Designed for travelers, prepper kits, and radio enthusiasts, the D109WB combines wide frequency coverage (FM/AM/LW/SW and the NOAA weather band) with modern conveniences like Bluetooth streaming, TF card playback, rechargeable battery support, and an SOS alert function. A DSP-enhanced tuner and a 39cm antenna improve reception stability and sensitivity so you can pick up distant stations and emergency broadcasts in more places.

That range lets you access local FM/AM, long-distance shortwave broadcasts, and NOAA weather alerts in the United States.
