This Object

This unit functioned perfectly for about two months and then went defective. I suspect it was the antenna input circuitry. I returned the radio to the store for servicing, but it didn't arrive so I had to write it off as a loss. I bought a similar Tecsun PL-680 to replace it. Unfortunately, in the mean time VAT was charged on all AliExpress deals, which made the replacement about 25 euros more expensive.
