GP4L Shortwave Radio First Impression

Sat Oct 4 2008
Our first look at the County Comm GP4L Pocket shortwave radio. We ordered this small radio for the emergency bag. It arrived just a few days after ordering. All it needs are batteries to get started

I added the 2 AA batteries and was listening to the radio. There is abuilt in antenna, which allowed me to hear all / most of the local AM and FM radio stations in town. I didn't have as much luck with shortwave, so I have been testing it at different times of day and night and I plan to take the GP4L Pocket shortwave radio with me for the next few weeks to test it at other locations

There is also a cool LED light on the top of the radio, I just wish it had it's own switch or button so the LED light could be used while the radio is on.. as it is now, the switch is either selected to; radio, off or LED light. That is the only complaint so far, stay tuned for updates as we use this GP4L Pocket shortwave radio more

Would you like the small pictures to get larger?
Let us know, use the feedback form to request larger pictures.

It's a lot more work to load all the large pictures.
We are happy to do it if they are requested, but if not we leave them small to save time
