The radio is small in size, slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes. I expected it to be bigger. It was mainly purchased for shortwave for sentimental reasons. It cannot catch shortwave. It picks up FM and medium wave, but not long wave. If you are only interested in FM and medium wave, it picks up well, it has good sound for its size, but that's where its advantages end. It works with electricity if you have a suitable power supply, it is not rechargeable, it takes 2 AA 1.5V batteries.

A very good radio with amazing sound quality! It's worth choosing, like all radios from this specific Italian company.
