XHData D808 is generally good, it has a quirky SSB mode which allows you to fine tune within a 1kHz window, it has some filter options which can be used to improve the S/N ratio in noisy conditions, or reduce adjacent channel interference. It has a very comprehensive paged memory system, offering 10 memories per page. It has an external antenna socket, but be mindful that this radio can easily become overloaded with strong signals if your antenna is too efficient. I bought mine for about £60, it's pretty good for £60, I wouldn't be quite so happy if I had paid £100 for it though, it has flaws and issues but mostly it excels at being a portable receiver.

For portable use it's in my opinion better than the Tecsun PL330 in terms of performance, the tecsun PL330 has a slightly better user interface however.
