I want my ruling on SANGEAN ATS 909 X anticipate: a very nice unit that is worth the price. My judgment is based on the possibility of comparison with the recipients ROADSTAR, SONY ICF SW7600GR, TECSUN PL660; LOWE HF 150. The first impression is perfect: solid packaging with German manual (manual multilingual), power supply, 7m-GPS antenna for shortwave reception - neat; German instructions understandable and funny ("The unit should be situated so that die airflow does not affect IS") - does the receiver not detract from - we all know that such small interpreters work will for some time done from personal reasons of the porters with. Excellent display with lots of displays, such as strength of the signal RDS function (to which station is), ...; meaningful memory functions; as very important and beautiful I found the modeled "crank", which we know from classical shortwave receivers - here integrated as a "hub" - pleasant fine-tuning; SSB (half-sideband) reception (eg amateur radio sector) in conjunction with the AM RF GAIN knob well - further improvement possible through the supplied antenna; Enhanced FM area with bad radio reception possibility (German legislation Caution!); as well: the extension by the AIR area following the conventional FM band, which normally ends at 108 MHz; Stereo Reception through headphones is comparable to that of home appliances; Asleep or shutoff minutes pleasant and with 120 more than adequate; clear and relatively easy to understand controls (the shortwave bands can be called, for example directly from the keyboard); automatic tuning in order; Individual programming (station name ...) possible; all relevant frequency ranges are available, although not as much going on today on LW and MW - an absence would make the lovers sad ...; it is a recipient of: the kitchen, the holidays, the "great sailing trip" ... that discerning housewife who is on clear FM reception, the DX-he who seeks signals of the neighboring countries or other continents in the shortwave airwaves , Therefore, again in conclusion: Quality has its price - I did not regret the purchase.
