i'm using it in bahrain..so another middle east user. Anyhow, it's worked great to date. I lost satellite reception one time beside a building.

Never got that far with the unit. Apparently it has blue tooth, so as long as you have a Bluetooth head set it should work. Frankly, I was not satisfied with the unit. If I spoke Arabic or hebrew it might be ok. I would use caution.

To start, big difference between adapters, voltage & pin size/polarity for starters. I've done a fairly exhaustive search on-line over the years and Sony never actually provided an adapter for this radio. However, they did for the previous model (which I own and use the adapter for this radio) Sony ICF-M350V. Universal has a description of the AC adapter as 4.5 VDC, but nothing else. I'm not near the adapter at the moment, but when I am, I'll post as much info as I can glean from the wall wart I use.

In XBMC there is a lot of Arabic content. The menu is very easy designed, you scroll to the left to international, click on the shortcut by country and Arabic countries show up with their live channels. There is a addon which can be installed called arabicchannels. Since all sources are pre-installed, you just need to install/activate the add on. Please visit our homepage or Google how to install a add on on xbmc.

Unfortunately, as I understand from a press release some time ago, BBC does not broadcast shortwave transmissions to US any more. Moreover, they only do to regions in the world where other ways of broadcasting are scarce (ie, internet, etc.). The links below show shortwave BBCś coverage. I hope it helps.

Hello Luis, The very good radio receiver/transmitter is bi volt. It's recharger is 110-220 volt so it works in any country. It even has a power source for 6 AA batteries if desired

I think the Internet is the best choice.You can listen to these programs on a PC, a smart phone or a WIFI radio. A short wave radio can only receive BBC World Service and BBC maybe doesn't broadcast programs to US by short wave now.You can search frequencies of short wave on this website www.short-wave.info.

It does come with the adapter for the USA. Shortwave reception is always better with a better antenna but I live in western PA and can pickup with the built in antenna. I pickup better with my Wellbrook loop antenna.

If you are asking if from Greece you would be able to receive the BBC, I am not sure. I live in the central US. On the East coast of the US, the BBC is easy to listen to with a radio this size. Tuning could be tricky, but not impossible. I purchased this radio as a tornado shelter addition since our weather is so variable. You might want to go ahead and purchase the radio and try it out. I would think that given a location in Greece, the signal strength would be sufficient. Besides it is a really nifty, compact radio!

Yes it does, but only Radio Havana and CRI (Chinese Radio International) are in English. The short wave also seems to get a ton of American Evangelists who are constantly screaming that we are all going to hell. Aside from that there are some Spanish language stations that come in clearly.

yes it does, I bought 2 and they came with ac adapters. That's how I use it - plugged in on my kitchen countertop. They're nice radios and the reception is good (once it's in the right position, but you'll figure it out).
