## Description

QODOSEN DX-286 is an ultra-high sensitivity multi-band (FM/LW/MW/SW) portable radio, adopting TEF6686 DSP car radio chip, built-in AM band (LW/MW/SW) low-noise amplifier, the full-band supports external antenna reception and antenna attenuation, and the LW/MW supports switching between the external telescopic antenna and the built-in ferrite rod antenna. The speaker and headset adopt independent bi-amplifier design, and the speaker is a full-range speaker.

Review: Un radio con muy buena recepción y muy portátil - Tiene muy buena recepción, en la banda MW durante la noche se escuchan estaciones lejanas claramente, en SW inclusive sin conectar la antena externa recibe muy bien, en la banda FM recibe con muy buena calidad las estaciones que regularmente otros radios no reciben. Su escaneo es muy veloz, el D-808 es más lento en el escaneo, pero el DX-286 es casi tan veloz en el escaneo como mi Icom IC-R6. La pantalla es muy clara y grande, la podemos ver mejor quienes usamos lentes. Todo el teclado se ve muy claro ya que contrastan muy bien las letras blancas con el plástico negro. La bocina reproduce un audio de buena calidad. El radio es muy pequeño, será fácil transportarlo a cualquier lugar. Al principio es un poco difícil aprender a utilizarlo mediante todos sus botones, he batallado en aprender a almacenar memorias y poder recuperarlas, tiene muchas funciones, pero no se aprenden fácilmente. Ojalá en un futuro saquen un modelo que incluya la banda aérea. Le compré una batería de 2800 mAh y dura aproximadamente una semana utilizándolo dos horas diarias, la carga dura bastante tiempo, casi todo un día, les recomiendo que lo carguen cuando ya quede una barra de batería ya que se comienza a apagar. Tiene varias formas de activar el temporizador de apagado automático. En general es muy buen radio, muy portátil y con muy buena recepción, lo seguiré usando cada noche y espero que Qodosen fabrique más y mejores modelos con esta misma calidad.
Review: Pequeno, mas ótimo. - Excelente produto.

Excelente produto.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 高性能なだけに日本語マニュアルがないのが残念です。
*by S***K on 6 February 2026*

DSPラジオで初めてアナログラジオを超える性能だと思います。ソニーのEX5以上です。残念なのは多機能を小さな本体の詰め込んだので操作が独特で極めて煩雑なことです。
