The radio is designed specifically for operation with NiMH batteries (not
included) who conveniently using the supplied
Can be Netzgeraets loaded in the device; This requires the Radio
be switched off and the slide switch "Charge" on the left side must
to "on". It is not clear what will happen if in this state
Batteries instead of rechargeable batteries in the device are! The running time for fresh charged Eneloop
Mignon batteries is felt a few hours. Not very helpful when using battery power
is the LED, which indicates a low charge state: When the LED starts
light, is within a few minutes after the show. Like here
someone has noted, Sangean has in the external power supply
not set to USB connections, although the supply voltage
5V permitted this. (The power requirement is having the printed 600mA something
Above the limit of 500mA for USB 2) Very good: Even if the radio completely
normally is (no internal battery, local power supply is not connected), stay
the preset stations and other settings will get! This includes
also the last station you listen to and the selected info display in the second
Line of the display.
On the whole, the radio is easy to use. For the last
Subtleties I have to look into the manual yet.
The LCD display is easy to read both in daylight and in the dark (also
if you look very obliquely's display), the yellow
Backlight in battery mode after 12s disappears. To them
to turn back, any button must be pressed. (There are for
no extra key.) Here one should not just in DAB mode, Autotune
Button catch, otherwise it will indeed bright in the display, but the reception is
interrupted for a longer scan the ether .... for an AB
Comparison of digital and analog reception, however, is quite handy the
Band key, with which I, at a transmitter which transmits on two rails
can directly switch between analogue and digital version. The number of
each 5 preset buttons for analogue and digital reception is sufficient.
Schoen: At least the volume you can not have a on the side
Set small cog.
The reception quality I can not really comment on as I the device
Stationary operate in an area with strong digital and analog
FM transmitters is well looked after ... want to be called: I have for my
Standards a very good reception. In particular, gleams of digital reception
by complete freedom from noise.
For sound: It is clear that none of the small built-in speakers
Miracles are expected. By emphasizing the middle frequencies but
the Sprachverstaendlichkeit well. The sound quality on Kopfhoererausgang
(Stereo) is surprisingly good. With a Beyerdynamik DT 880 32 Ohm headphones
(Without Kopfhoererverstaerker) can there ever really give rise to joy. The
Volume is sufficient, ups and downs can not be settled,
well not balance on Kopfhoererausgang.
A firmware update is not possible. However, my radio is since
buying crashed not once October 2013. (That seems
nowadays even provided to be a problem with radios.)
Conclusion: Despite some minor improvements I am overall very
satisfied with the device, I would buy it again!
