Combine the worldwide coverage of shortwave radio with the convenience of your local stations with the Grundig Yacht Boy YB300PE. Equipped with a tuner that receives 13 shortwave bands and an AM/FM tuner, the radio can access everything from the BBC in London to Voice Kenya in Africa, along with local favorites such as NPR. Because of its compact size and powerful tuner, it's an ideal radio for people who travel frequently and don't want to rely on local coverage, or for folks who prefer an international perspective on world affairs. The digital unit offers a number of unique innovations, such as a direct frequency keypad unit that lets you precisely access the shortwave station you're seeking, a sleep timer that automatically disables the power after a preset time period, and digital shortwave auto-scan that ensures precise, accurate tuning. The radio also includes 24 presets for AM and FM channels and shortwave stations, along with an illuminated LCD digital display with a quartz clock and a telescoping antenna. As with all shortwave radios, reception may vary depending on the season, time of day, weather conditions, and a host of other factors.
The YB300PE stores comfortably in the included carrying pouch and is powered by three AA batteries or an AC adapter, both of which come with the radio. The radio also includes a set of earphones for private listening.
