Can this radio be used in India? On medium wave and short wave?

Absolutely yes. If Indian radio stations have broadcasts that are on a frequency between 530-1605 kHz AM, and 87.5-108 MHz FM, this radio will receive them without any problems whatsoever. BTW, I'm a licensed ham radio operator, so I have some knowledge in this area. :)

The unit is physically able to transmit on those frequencies, although it could take some time to figure out how. It is not type accepted for that use. The unit is designed to be used by licensed radio amateurs and other use would technically be illegal. My suggestion would be to buy a radio designed for the use it will be put to. There are a lot of reasonably priced marine vhf radios available on sites like like EBay.

Yes I bought this specifically because I travel extensively for work reasons. It is globally unlocked out of the box. I can confirm. I was able to use it inost of Asia and Europe's. You may have to go in and manually select the specific radio to use for the county your in. It alaways found a signal but sometimes manually tweaking it got faster service.

I don't know if India is on 110 or 240. If they're on 110 it should work fine.

I am using it in Nigeria. Our frequencies are 900mhz, 1800Mhz and 2100mhz and works fine.

Yes. This is the 220V model, so it will work in India. Just make sure you get the 8224 Model.

No, it cannot. The tuner can only be used down to 30 MHz. The AM band ranges from 530 kHz to 1710 kHz. This device also cannot receive shortwave radio.

It will not work in India. It supports only 110V. Need special adaptor (220v to 110v) to use it in India.

It should worm in India if it you have the bands available, I test it in Costa Rica without any issues. For the warranty you would need to send it back to USA.

Apparently not. Covers those frequencies, but it would be illegal to transmit with this radio and it's not FCC cleared for that purpose. This is a common problem with many of these Chinese radios. For example, the BAOFENG 888's are very well-built and INCREDIBLY inexpensive radios, which are illegal to use as configured in the USA. They can be reprogrammed with cable/software and must be to be operated legally.

Jyothi, I suppose it would work in India. It says it will work anywhere. However, this is quite heavy, and you may have to ask the company diretly about its use.

This will work anywhere with a WiFi connection. There are many Indian stations.

You can use it on any GSM network. However, please be aware that I returned it because the antenna went bad.

I'm not sure if it can be used in India, but I don't recommend this item because it's an inferior product. It started to malfunction after 3-4 times and no after-sale service from this company at all. I have threw it away anyway.
