  Does AC adapter work on 50 Hz 240V AC?

  Does Amazon really include Free S+H… to AU?

    It's trying to charge me $13.41 postage to Melbourne.
    Price also shows as $59.99 for me.

  I think U.S uses different digital radio format, so not compatible in Australia. I might be wrong.

    I think this is only a traditional radio station, no digital radio supported.

      Yes, it even decodes Single Side Band (SSB) mode, used by Radio Amateurs (80, 40, 20, 15 & 10 meter bands, & more) & CBer's on (27 MHz).

      eHam.com has a review of it, eg, under "General Coverage Receivers"

      Some reviewers said it's Air Band reception was rather dim.

      Price quoted in review (likely RRP, not a street price) was ~ US$ 170.

      Does it support Digital Radio Broadcasting (DAB)? Not seen that in the description.

        Nope.

        'too hard for a radio that's got to work around the world.

        It's got Synchronous mode for reception of AM band, though. This lets you choose which of 2 sidebands to use, eg, if there's a loud/strong station, on only 1 side of the freq of the station you want to hear.

        Normally, you'd choose the sideband on the -other- side of your station's frequency, in that case.

  Btw, it's 120V only with US plug.

    easternculture on 04/04/2013 - 21:18

    This is designed for travellers so will work outside USA

    Here is the manual http://www.sailcom.co.uk/receivers/English_G3_manual.pdf

      Thanks for that… quite a specialised company…

      They have a "package" (what? an audio cable + decoding S/W, I'd guess) that lets you view WeFAX (Weather FAX) images on your computer, from audio supplied by the little radio.

      Might be useful on a boat…?

      (The cable would likely be a male (3.5mm) to male (3.5mm); many have
      one around, from audio patching, eg, MP3 player to amplifier, etc.)
