Zeon Tech Multi-band receiver, made by Zeon Ltd, 1990-2010.

This radio runs on two AA batteries and has a short-wave feature, which is relatively unusual in radio receivers. Most commercial listening sets have AM and FM which are limited to receiving local and national radio stations; this short-wave receiver can receive radio stations from much further away, including international ones.

It appears likely that this is a generic radio with a “Zeon Tech” badge attached. Electronic components have been rebadged since the late 1800s and radios since their origin, so this is not unusual.
