Sangean DT-200X FM-Stereo/AM Digital Tuning Pocket Radio Black

I chose this for my gost hunting,,,re to make it a voice box, But have found that it is not made for that,, re the modifications that are required to make it such do NOT WORK. there for it is a prefect radio,,,,and not for paranormal work as is recomeneded out there in the internet world.

I just added this radio to a list of other Sangean radio products I have purchased, the WFR-32 table top internet radio, the HDT-20 HD radio receiver and the HDR-18 HD table top radio. All are excellent. The hand held / portable AM/FM radio I had been using is a small rechargeable one about half the size and price of this unit. But, it also has about half the capabilities of this portable radio. You get what you pay for by spending a moderate amount of extra money for this. This does require batteries but not an issue to me - I suppose I could just buy rechargeable batteries and make it one if I wanted. The reception, sound quality, ability to lock into channels and its general functionality is excellent and much better than what I had. The bass boost and My Favorite channels button are great bonuses and it general operation is very logical and intuitive. It’s still small enough if I wanted to use the belt clip and walk around with it and the much better reception makes that portability option a much better experience. With the other you have to constantly move into a position to get the best reception. There is much less of that. The product is another Sangean hit for this customer. I had not planned to use the wired headphones that came with it but these sound very good although I am sure I could maximize the sound with a better pair. This radio is a keeper. Do not use lithium ion batteries as they create electrical interference that blocks AM reception. If you want rechargeables use NiHMs which don’t create the electrical interference and reception problems.

Excelente sonido y buena recepción

This is a good basic AM FM personal radio, with most of the features that you would want. I listen to both bands. Reception is better than average for most stations on AM or FM. However, I find that when I'm listening to FM, the stereo fades in and out depending on my location, and in those cases I switch to mono. This is occasionally true, even for some local stations. I especially like the digital tuning capability, and station memory. No need to fiddle around trying to see if you have tuned the station in correctly as is the case with analog tuners. The tuning display is backlit which is very convenient. The sound quality of the built-in speaker is adequate and what you might expect from a speaker of its size. It will not fill a room with sound, but it certainly provides acceptable listening volume. If you pop open the battery door you can use it as a stand for the radio while listening through the built-in speaker. The sound through the headphones is of course dependant on their quality, but I find listening through the headphones supplied by the manufacturer to be good. Other devices may, of course, provide higher quality sound, but in this case the sound is adequate and volume is good. One improvement could be some mechanism or depression built into the housing to facilitate storing earbud headphones when attached. This could be as simple as a clip or strap loop, or perhaps a slot of some sort. The supplied belt clip is functional and I use it often. It is easily removable for those people who do not wish to use it, which is convenient. The unit takes two AA batteries and battery life is very good. I have owned this model for years and have replaced it with the same model once it has worn out. It is relatively durable and I have dropped it in the past without fatal damage, but you should take care to avoid drops due to the plastic housing. It is not waterproof and it should be kept dry. The manufacturer is very experienced in producing radios and this one is a good value for the money.

To be fair, the radio is nice quality built, compact and with well thought out functions. Unfortunately inside of my Camper Bus i have no reception at all and i have to go outside with an antenna plugged in. The product is very nice. The reception ???....... depends on where you are. Could see some benefits with an integrated telescope antenna and a bluetooth connection for the ear plugs.

This is good product from sangean I have ordered it on 24 February, 2015 and exelent delivery on 04 march from USA to Delhi. Very Good delivery and packing was also amazing. But it is not compatiable synchonize with Indian frequency. Espacially AM frquiency is not for India because indian frequency is avaible on 09 Khz step up or down but this unit is design to search AM frequiecny 10Khz step up or down. For example India station vividh bharati medium wave is 1368 Khz i Delhi or nearbly areas. But this unit will not stop on 1368 it will stop on 1370 Khz. But FM frequency is OK. So I want to return it if possible and trying to take regund as this is not suitable for me living in India becuse I bought it for digital reception for AM. Updated : I e-mail to SAngean Technical head, USA. They send me e-mail to set Indian frequency. I follow the steps. Now it is OK and my set is working fine with 09 Khz frequency. Thanks to Sangean to giving solution.
