World's best digital shortwave general purpose, 4 -band shortwave receiver ( We think so... )
CAGE: 5VKB6
Amazing for emergency kits. It also makes an excellent monitor for when you're transmitting and tuning a HAM rig!
The new GP-5 SSB radio is made based on a continued request for an excellent quality general purpose information radio. These radios are re-modified for a specific client request with the help of Edison Fong PHD. We have a few left over to offer to our consumer preppers. Remember, always have a radio and be prepared, we are living in changing times.
CountyComm is pleased to announce the GP-5/SSB radio with excellent HF communications monitoring in a unique handheld form factor and at a great price. The radio covers medium wave 520-1710 kHz shortwave 2300-30000 kHz and the FM band. Unlike most radios in this price category, the GP-5/SSB provides LSB and USB single sideband reception. It has a very unique Easy Tuning Mode (ETM). ETM does more the usual ATS. It scans all frequencies without taking up the memory spaces. So you get quick access to all local stations. Great for the traveler. There are also 450 regular memories (100 AM, 100 FM and 250 shortwave) available for tuning into your favorite stations. Another unique feature of the radio is its removable high sensitivity external AM ferrite antenna. This directional antenna clearly enhances AM band reception. The CountyComm GP-5/SSB even employs DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, improving clarity and tone quality. There is even an adjustable sleep timer.

Warning: Some suppliers are offering aftermarket large ferrite bar antennas for our GP-5 Radios. The weight of the aftermarket antenna causes the AM Bar Antenna Input connector to break internally, losing AM reception. This will void your warranty.

Single screw to replace the antenna.
It's always a good idea to have a backup antenna.

Great radio, smaller than expected with writing near buttons very hard to read but overall great buying experience
It works! Received short wave radio broadcast from 2300 miles away from my location. Decent battery life. Carry spare batteries as it uses them rapidly while using SW. 4 star rating because the country of origin is China.
Radio arrived with fast shipping. As expected, the radio performed all functions as advertised albeit the tuning of this radio is a little bit tricky. If you're trying to get to a frequency in short order you need to take the appropriate measures to make sure you pre-program any frequency of regular interest or frequencies that get you relatively close because the tuning wheel will take forever. This should not be a surprise to anyone buying this radio because it is a well-known fact. Hopefully in future generations this can be corrected with little cost increase. Nevertheless this radio does what it's supposed to do and it's very easily transportable.
