QODOSEN DX-286 Radio Introduction
1. The DX-286 Adopts NXP high-performance car gauge chip TEF6686 to ensure excellent selectivity and ultra-high sensitivity and provide you with a better receiving experience!
2. The FM radio frequency band supports 64-108MHz, supports RDS/RBDS broadcast data system, 5 frequency ranges are optional, 6 steps are optional, suitable for reception in different areas, there are 17 bandwidth options, and the selectivity is excellent.
3. Digital radio signal-to-noise ratio ≥ 60dB, clear signal, low noise, built-in adjustable antenna attenuator to improve anti-overload ability, built-in low-noise amplifier switching in long-wave/medium-wave/short-wave frequency band to improve receiving sensitivity.
4. All bands of the radio (FM and AM) support external antennas, and the use of external antennas can make the receiving effect of the DX-286 better.
5. The long-wave/medium-wave band supports the switching between the rod antenna and the built-in magnetic rod antenna, and the reception effect of the rod antenna or the external antenna is better in the environment with less outdoor interference.
6. Long wave/Medium Wave adopts DSP direct sampling and digital processing to improve the image interference caused by frequency conversion and harmonic interference caused by local oscillator of traditional radio. The adoption of new technology greatly improves the receiving performance.
REMOVABLE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY POWERED/INDEPENDENT AMPLIFIER DESIGN
1. The DX-286 portable radio is supplied with a 3350mAh rechargeable battery (supplied with the radio) which is easy to replace. When the battery is dead, it can also be recharged with a standard 5V USB charger (avoid using a fast charger to avoid damage).
2. The DX-286 small radio adopts the independent dual power amplifier design of speaker and earphone, which are optimized and do not affect each other, ensuring that the speaker output improves the sound quality of the earphone at the same time, with lower output noise and smaller distortion.
External Antenna interface, support FM/long wave/medium wave/Short Wave Full Band
1. Improved signal reception quality: By connecting an external antenna, the radio's sensitivity to receiving radio waves is enhanced, thus improving the quality of signal reception and allowing the radio to pick up more channels and clearer audio.
2. Expanded reception range: An external antenna can help broaden the radio's reception range, especially in areas with weak signals or limited signal coverage, allowing for a wider range of reception.
3. Reduced interference: Indoor environments often contain various sources of interference, such as electrical devices and metal structures, which can affect the radio's reception. Connecting an external antenna allows the antenna to be placed in a location with better signal reception, reducing the impact of such interference.
4. Convenient adjustment of antenna position: External antennas typically come with longer cables, allowing users to conveniently place the antenna in different positions to achieve the best signal reception. Users can optimize reception by adjusting the antenna's position and direction.
High Performance Automotive Chips
DX-286 radio adopts TEF6686 car radio chip,this car radio DSP tuner offer outstanding performance levels with the broad range of features and advanced algorithms(CEQ, EMS, lMS, and PACS,Noise Blanker..), software-defined radio signal processing,Especially in multipath improvement, adjacent frequency interference, weak signal processing, and noise elimination, it has significant advantages.

DX-286 has 5 tuning modes, 100 editable pages, supports 1000 cross band storage stations, two storage sorting (ATS JUMP/ATS COVER), multiple search thresholds, multiple store/delete methods. Flexible operation.
Antenna switching
There are three antenna switching modes for long wave/medium wave. Select the antenna suitable for the environment to obtain the best reception effect.
1. In the case of indoor or electromagnetic environment interference, it is recommended to use the built-in magnetic rod antenna to receive (ANT INT).
2. If you are outdoors or in an electromagnetic environment with little interference, you can try to use a rod antenna to receive (ANT EXT). The rod antenna can bring you a better receiving experience.
3. In order to get better reception, you can use an external antenna in the "ANT EXT" mode.
ANTENNA ATTENUATOR
1. Enhance the receiving clarity: The attenuator controls the signal strength to prevent overload and distortion, and ensure that the broadcast is clearer and more stable.
2. Reduce interference: Minimize interference from strong electromagnetic sources (such as power lines or other electronic devices) and improve reception performance.
3. Improve selectivity: In a multi-frequency environment, it helps to filter out unwanted signals and enhance the receiver's attention to the required broadcast frequency, thereby achieving accurate and clear reception.
Built-In Low Noise Amplifier Switch
1. When reception is weak, you can enable the signal amplifier (AMP ON) to increase the strength of the signal, making it clearer.
2 If there is a signal overload when receiving a strong signal, you can turn off the signal amplifier (AMP OFF) to reduce overload.
3. When using an external passive antenna, it is recommended to turn on the antenna amplifier (AMP ON).
4. When using an external active antenna, it is recommended to turn off the antenna amplifier (AMP OFF).
FEATUERS OF FM BAND
The DX-286 radio has an FM tuning range of 64 MHz to 108 MHz with 5 adjustable ranges to meet the range requirements of different countries. It enables precise tuning with 6 selectable steps and 17 bandwidth options, ensuring excellent selectivity in all environments. It also supports the RBDS/RDS data system for an enhanced broadcast experience,, and four different FM signal processing functions to improve signal quality.
MUSIC VOICE TONE
The DX-286 is equipped with a closed-cavity full-range speaker in its compact size, which excels in vocal and music details; and has a tone switching function, which allows you to adjust the details and layering of audio by selecting different gears (MUSIC/VOICE) to satisfy the listening experience of different users.
ONE-KEY MUTE FUNCTION /SWTICH LCD ON/OFF
1.The One-Key mute quickly toggles mute on or off without adjusting volume gradually.
2.Turning off the display can reduce noise interference and improve weak signal reception for a better auditory experience.

My first radio in years. This little guy is a great performer. Very sensitive AM and incredible in FM mode. You can also get SW/MW/LW bands. I don't really know of any downsides in getting this radio. Also it is under $100. You can not go wrong with this radio. Buy it now.

I live in a HoA community in the Northeast US with outdoor antenna restrictions. My reception is almost entirely captured from indoors. The Qodosen DX-286 radio receives very well on FM and AM/MW bands, and good on SW bands (better than other SW portables I own). The radio captures FM-RDS digital station data if selected to do so from the radio setup menu. This radio does not offer USB or LSB reception, however I am able to receive NOAA Weather when set to MW range and dial to 1667 for my area (this is somewhat off center from my NOAA frequency, but still easily readable). The DX-286 does quite well to filter and reject various noise within my community location. I've had no luck so far capturing LW broadcasts, though I must state that LW stations are almost extinct these days. --- Lastly, I purchased a Goozeezoo GA800 rechargeable active loop antenna to attached externally to my DX-286 (note: follow all Manuals instructions closely). This loop antenna has notably improved my AM/MW and SW reception (when the integrated signal boost is "turned on") by easily 30%+ and audio louder and more clearly. The GA800 antenna can be turned 360 degrees, which helps better tuning in these stations directionally. With the signal boost "turned off", it operates about as well as the DX-286 radio itself, which is quite good, but allows for an external antenna proximate to a window for more reception. Do not "turn on" the signal boost when operating FM bands. It is unnecessary and may overload your DX-286 radio front end. Lotta information here but I believe that you will enjoy the Qodosen DX-286 if you enjoy broadcast radio (and perhaps don't trust Bluetooth/WiFi or app-connecting radios).

Sounds great on headphones! A portable powerhouse that is very sensitive on all bands with awesome selectivity. READ THE MANUAL and once you do the controls become very intuitive. Shortwave on the whip antenna is good in my area. MW is magic! Battery life is so so. I recommend this is you want to listen to SW, MW, and FM on the go and you are a Tuner!

Very sensitive radio that lives up to its reputation. The ability to hook up external antennas eg passive and active loops, long wires on all wavebands and can use the telescopic on mw and lw for brilliant results in electrically quiet areas. Superb value for money with many features not available in radios of a similar size or indeed any current production portable radio. Very high quality front end giving the radio high dynamic range, exceptional by portable standards. Excellent audio for a small portable and the large number of bandwidth options on AM and FM are very useful. Highly recommended for listeners interesting in dxing or for those looking for better than average results for general reception on all wavebands.

This is an outstanding portable. I have been able to receive signals that I never thought possible. To begin with, I put the radio's performance against other well-regarded portables I own and the 286 came up a winner by far on all bands - LW, MW, SW, FM. Then I put it against desktop amateur radio base transceivers I have and the 286 came out with solid results, in some cases offering a more legible output to an identical signal.The features of the 286 that give the listener superpowers- whether you are merely seeking the best reception or whether you are seeking DX are to (1) utilize the antenna switching options - internal/external and couple it with the appropriate antenna for the job you want done, (2) adjust the AM filtering or FM bandwidth of the incoming signal and (3) utilize the adjustment on how it processes FM signals. Working these in various combinations makes it possible to get the 286 to focus and, after some thinking for a few seconds, the radio begins to lock-in on signals and stays there. I have found that the 286 will pull in signals on your target frequency that you never knew possible. LW, MW and FM are outstanding. SW is as good as it gets!The ergonomics are very good. The size of the unit (smaller than what you think) is ideal for travel and it comes with its own hard-case for protection, which can fit a few charging accessories as well. I got mine with the unique-type battery-included, so it was good right out of the box without hassle and it charges directly through the radio. The speaker gives good output for the size. This radio immediately put all my others into the drawer and I can't recommend it highly enough. At this price, you should have already ordered one for yourself by now...

Ich war Anfangs etwas skeptisch, da der Qodosen DX-286 in Deutschland bislang nicht so einfach zu erhalten war und sich noch niemand zu dem Gerät geäussert hat. Die Empfangsleistung, gerade auf UKW und MW sind wirklich ausgesprochen gut. Kurzwelle ist ebenfalls hervorragend, einziger Nachteil: Es gibt eider keine Möglichkeit im seitenband zu hören, das gut der verwendete Chip leider nicht her. Mit einer modifizierten MLA-30, die es ebenfalls bei Amazon gibt läuft der RX zur Höchstform auf. Einfach mal bei Youtube nach dem Gerät suchen, ich habe dazu ein paar deutschsprachige Videos gemacht...
