Tecsun S-2200x radio

TECSUN S-2200x is the DSP successor of the successful dual conversion S-2000 radio receiver. It can be used for listening to FM, longwave (LW), medium wave (MW / AM), shortwave (SW) and VHF airband, and it is single sideband (SSB) capable. 

S-2200x is equipped with an analog high-IF circuit and DSP triple conversion decoding technology. It has great performance in sensitivity, selectivity and combating interference of mirror stations (image rejection). Like other Tecsun models, it comes with a variety of "hidden features". 

Tecsun's latest receiver comes fully packed, with Squelch Control, RF Gan Control, Antenna Signal Attenuation, 5 AM bandwidth settings, Synchronous Detection, external antenna sockets and the flexibility to adjust the signal capture sensitivity of the auto tuning and storage feature to the often changing reception conditions.
