Sangean ATS-909X2 1109-00033-WS Professional World Receiver with FM Stereo White

Product Information

The radio has what Eton calls the Sync Detector technology that allows for removing fading and distortion to improve the overall sound quality. The sound produced by the radio is indeed very clear and crisp. These and other earthshaking questions are before us here in 2021. We have some of the best portables ever made by anyone in a time of sharply declining shortwave use, but they each have their flaws. It is not that you will not find versions powered by batteries, but they are difficult to find. On top of that, finding batteries can be not only difficult but also expensive! Dave Zantow says his unit does not have this issue, so there is a possibility this is due to unit to unit variation. As you can see, with a strong signal such as 12,160 kHz — switching from AM to LSB instantly reduces listenable level, and signal as measured on the 909×2 drops to zero bars or near zero. In USB, the reduction is less severe. Regardless, having to perform adjustments with main volume just to struggle to hear any signal in SSB is a bit ridiculous. This kind of thing is not seen on the Tecsun H-501x or 990x though as Dave correctly points out, Tecsun receivers are not exactly great performers in SSB. On Tecsun receivers, there is a slight processor pause while the receiver makes the switch into LSB or USB, without the sharp reduction in listenable level. CALIBRATION ISSUES WITH NO WAY TO ADJUST

These controls which sit outside the circular main tuning knob are excellent, and reminds one of the slewing buttons on the SONY 7600GR, SW1000T and SW100. S-METER / DISPLAY The Sangean ATS-909X2 is billed as the “ultimate” radio receiver and while I am not quite sure that is the case, it certainly is at the very top end of the portable multi-band receiver market today. You are going to be hard-pressed to find a radio with better capabilities and features that you can still call portable, for any amount of money. Should the Sangean ATS-909X2 be accurate? Yes. Is it far enough off to cause a problem? Well for some people I guess so, but not for me. The fine-tuning knobs of the radio allow for very easy SSB tuning. The 10 Hz tuning step makes it a better option for those who love SSB. If you want LED screens for increased brightness, that is also a possibility. However, radios with LED screens will cost a lot more. Buttons Arrangement

Customer reviews

Some of my most listened-to stations on the 909X2 have been Radio New Zealand International, Voice of Korea (N. Korea) and Radio Thailand, all in the English language. I’m located in Northern California. I am currently busy searching for fresh DX from the new A21 season. It’s always fun to find new stations before they appear in the shortwave schedule listings.

the Russian Malahit / Malachite SDR operational current consumption approx. 300ma (as indicated in the For example, the ATS-909X2 comes with a much larger LCD screen that is also in color, and capable of displaying all kinds of information including RDS station data on FM. It also has 1,674 station presets, with the ability to program in station names for each that appear on the radio’s display. Capable of working with AM, FM, and SW bands, the Retekess features a very neat design. Of course, the small size of the radio did lead to a cramped up button placement, but that’s not really so bad, because the buttons are decently big. Shortwave radio technology has not changed much in about a century now. What has changed is the complexity of the shortwave receiver. Modern designs incorporate amazing features that were impossible to conceive about 50 or 60 years ago.

and not say 6) signal strength indicator that also includes digital RSSI, and SNR and Digital S-Meter. It has a hand crank, a solar panel, and a built-in rechargeable battery. You can use the hand crank for recharging it. You will also get the option of recharging the battery using an AC adapter or a USB power source. A shortwave radio or a shortwave radio receiver is a receiving device that can receive or catch radio frequencies within the frequency range of 1.6 MHz and 30 MHz (1600 kHz to 30,000 kHz). Typically, the shortwave range includes all frequencies in the HF band. HF stands for high-frequency. The HF band has a frequency range of 3 MHz to 30 MHz. This allows you to tap into higher AM bands. There are newer models of shortwave radios that will allow you to receive AM/FM modulations and all types of frequencies. This reception improvement definitely allows people to explore noisy and weak signals. The best part of the radio is the FM reception, which is exceptionally good. If you were unaware, shortwave, medium-wave, and longwave radio frequencies can all be subjected to FM or AM modulation. In AM modulation, the signal changes with modulations in the wave amplitude. In FM modulation, the signal changes with modulation in frequency.
