I bought it for about 11 Euros (including shipping). Since the purchase of the even cheaper Colon/Golon RX-329 (also here on Skroutz) I realized that low-price Chinese radios are worthy a try. So is this Kchibo receiver as good as the Golon - or even better for a bit more money?

Well, there are both advantages and disadvantages. KK-8108 is an analog radio, the sound is natural and more beautiful compared to RX-329, and it is optimized for news listening, because it's not muffled like Golon's sound. On the same time there is less treble ratio compared to Clooblut RD-218 or Kchibo KK-978. Although RX-329 has 7 SW bands, unfortunately it lacks the 31 and 19 meter bands. The good news is that this Kchibo radio has all the SW bands from 49 to 16 meter bands, what is a big advantage.

On the other hand KK-8108 is less sensitive compared to Golon, its selectivity is also weaker. The biggest problem however is the cheap (aggressive) AGC and the unstable tuning (both is related to weak stations). If a powerhouse (strong station) is received too well, the speaker crackles, but pulling back the whip solves the problem.

So this Kchibo radio's performance is mediocre. I still can recommend it. I listen KK-8108 much more than the Golon or other DSP radios, because this receiver has natural, easy to listen sound. If you are not interested in DXing, this radio will please you while listening to powerful international broadcasts.
