Tecsun S2200x

GREAT Radio – This shortwave radio replaces the Tecsun s2000. Released on the 28th August 2024. Regarded by many as a very expensive radio. I placed my order on the day of release and was delivered on the 3rd of September 2024. I was a bit disappointed with the shipping side of Tecsun as the radio cost was $660 and shipping cost was $30 thats $690 all up, no… Read more

signature was required it was just placed near the front door. Now, the radio. No great change in appearance but apparently a lot of changes inside. I have been following a lot of YouTube reviews, as I have had no experience with the s2000. There were other clones of the S2000 under the Eton & Grundig names. Operation of this radio is very good. There's no muting when turning the bands, a lot of shortwave's have that these days and it's very hard to get used too. I'm in a very high static area and it does affect listening to some stations. MW band is great the rotation antenna works very well. Airband works very well, though once again filled with lots of static, there is a squelch dial but in my opinion is totally useless it doesn't mute like a squelch should it's like another volume or RF gain control. I'm a bit up in the air with all those external antenna ports, I am experimenting with antenna's and I'm finding that using those external ports don't seem to do much at all, if anything... I am just using a long wire with an alligator clips clipped to the extendable internal antenna. Oh and those ports have a int/ext switch. I have to give the team at Tecsun Australia a high five. I reported that an antenna adaptor for the LW/MW rotation antenna didn't fit properly, it kept pushing itself out. The team sent me the proper adaptors and I received them the next day, unreal!!!! Now speaking of that I used my Long wire for the LW/MW bands and all went quiet so I don't know why that's all happening on those ports.. All other bands the way I'm using the Long wire works good. I'm pleased with all other functions, appearance is great.
