  • Shortwave radios meant for a job site have a more rugged, sturdy design. These utility radios have a handle as well as a dust-resistant style meant for more uses than everyday radios offer.
  • As a small, compact FM radio that's pocket or purse-friendly, a personal-sized shortwave design is slim enough to go with you anywhere but has many useful features, including AM/FM capability and a built-in headphone jack for private listening. These versions come in black or white shades.

  • Some standard features of portable styles include a built-in speaker for top sound quality, as well as an alarm clock/timer. An external antenna can be adjusted to pick up specific frequencies, and it's clear to see which station you're on with an LCD screen.
  • A multiband radio, or world band radio, may have features that include coverage of shortwave and longwave frequencies for added versatility.

What Uses Do Shortwave Radios Have?

So, why would you buy a shortwave radio over other types of portable tuning devices that offer AM/FM frequencies? There are multiple uses for these types of radios that other devices may not provide.

  • You can still use these radios to listen to traditional AM and FM content. Many styles have the option to set your favorite stations as preset buttons for quick access.
