Sony Xdr-P1Dbp is an advanced portable radio that supports both DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and FM transmissions. This means it can receive digital radio stations (DAB) in addition to traditional FM frequencies. However, it does not support the AM band. DAB technology offers superior sound quality compared to analog FM broadcasts, with less interference and a wider choice of radio stations. In terms of frequencies, the FM range covered by the radio is typically between 87.5 and 108 MHz, which is standard for most FM radios. The radio also includes features like automatic station scanning and the ability to save your favorite stations. Despite its compact size, the radio delivers clear and powerful sound, thanks in part to a high-quality built-in speaker. Portability is another strong point, making it ideal for listening on the go.

My opinion

Pros

Excellent radio with exceptional sensitivity for such a small and light radio. Easy storage of stations. Effective antenna. The battery lasts about 20 days.

Cons

The battery loses power after about 20 days from charging and this is a big plus, but after a few months you have to recharge it every 3/4 days. The replacement costs about 15$ and is on eBay in China.
