Wifi Internet Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this radio over 1 month ago and absolutely love it. I wanted a radio for the kitchen -- something that had a remote, was EASY to use with a deep, rich sound. This radio has exceeded my expectations. The richness of the sound fills my 13' x 15' kitchen. having the remote is great! I have my favorite local stations and my favorite internet stations set to the presets and it has been really easy to use. I liked the radio so much that I bought a second one for my exercise room. The web site you use to add stations to your favorites can accommodate more than one radio.
Other reviews talk about the hassle of searching for FM stations. Yes, this is tedious, but you only do it once. I set each of my favorite FM stations to a preset on the remote and haven't used the tuner to find a station since.
Wireless was easy to set up and works well.
The listing of internet radio stations available via the radio's menus is ok. I bought this radio so that my husband snd I could listen to our favorite stations from his home country. none of them were on the list; however, it was easy to add them to my favorites using the web site. I now have presets for all of them.
I am an NPR junkie.. it was easy to find podcasts of my favorite NPR shows and add them to my favorites as well.
What I wanted was to be able to walk into the kitchen and be able to listen to my favorite local and internet radio stations with the simple push of a button. This radio met all of my requirements and exceeded my expectations with great sound. I recommend this product without reservation.

Sangean ATS-909X AM/FM/LW/SW World Band Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased the new 909X model, and did some technical tests on the 909x versus my Tecsun Pl-390 and Grundig 750. First, as to FM reception, the 909X has outstanding FM reception, as to both the number of stations received and the tonal quality. I was able to easily log 18 RDS stations from my central Florida location in daytime. As to tonal quality, this is where the 909X is a great portable. The built-in amplifier and the high-quality speaker, give the FM listener a range of tonal quality approaching my Tivoli Audio SongBook radio. This excellent tonal quality carries over to AM reception also. My next test was on the shortwave bands. I was surprised as to the radio's sensitivity and, again, good tonal quality on SW voice and music programs. Although my Grundig 750 and Tecsun PL-390 are very sensitive shortwave radios, the big plus in the 909X is it's very high signal-to-noise ratio. What that means is that weak signals received on the Grundig 750 and Tecsun Pl-390 come in with a large amount of background noise. The 909X, in contrast, has a surprisingly low background noise level on the various shortwave bands. This low background noise level allows weak signals to become more audible and less anoying to copy. Also, the 909X appears to be equally sensitive on all shortwave bands. Even the normally weak 26-28Mhz band sensitivity on most portables, I was easily able to tune in some CB radio traffic at that higher frequency. I also tested medium wave, and found it just as sensitive as on my Grundig 750, again, with better tonal quality, and the wide/narrow filters worked well to separate loud from weak stations.
Just to mention some other things that make this portable shine are the alpha-numeric page memory system, world time in many cities which sync automatically after you set your local home time, and the many ways that you can tune stations. The 909X even has a squelch control in addition to an effective RF Gain control. Due to the very low background noise level of the 909X, I have yet to use the squelch control even when seeking for weak shortwave signals
So, in conclusion, with just using the radio's long provided whip, and better, the reel-in antenna acompanying the radio, the 909X serves as an excellent portable to carry on trips, and carry around in its nice case. I can't overemphasize the great signal-to-noise ratio of this radio. Yes, the 909X is rather large and expensive compared to other portables. But, what you get in this larger package is a high-quality speaker and a great built-in audio amplifier of very large tonal range.
