After I called W already two 909 SANGEAN my own, I have now bought the successor to the X. The decisive factor was the more pleasing appearance, a slightly easier operation and the possibility of charging the battery in the instrument. Now I can say that I have not been disappointed. The published already on the same machine review where a limitation has been noted in the sensitivity in the AM range is, without doubt true. But this is also equal to the only vermeldende disadvantage - when you let the higher price in mind. And if you do not want to just be "Short Wave Hunters" on vacation now, it has only to German news, receive a better device but, apart, of 909 X is already a good choice. The rest can be seen very positively. Design and processing are without blemish. Outstanding is the FM receiver, including the response of RDS. The telescopic antenna seems to be made of stainless steel. The power of the audio amplifier in combination with the built-in speaker is really good - at least not noticeably worse than the 909 W (I have since read other reviewers opinions). And the service is somehow more clearly in an equal number of controls roughly compared to 909 W. At least the panel was "cleaned up". The display is clear and well lit during mains operation or when added lights on when in battery mode. One star deduction is only that at a higher price no "technical quantum leap" has been made compared to 909 W.
