A “”Must Pack “Radio
This is radio that is for your “Must Pack” list whenever you travel. Quality is excellent with solid sound reception for AM, FM and Weather. No need to worry about power if you end up in the wilderness. Just turn the crank and you’re back in touch with the world. Just ordered one as Christmas gift for my outdoor-obsessed son in law. It’ll be a fixture on his boat and in his golf bag, I am certain. He has to stay in touch with what’s happening and this this will make that happen for him.

Can’t pick up stations
It has wonderful features, but I was unable to pick up my two local NPR stations! We tried and tried, and though we are not more than five miles from one of our local stations, there was absolutely no reception. Perhaps it was just a lemon, because I haven’t read this criticism anywhere else. I may try another one, because other than that I thought it was great.

Pass on this one…
I compared many items online looking for a portable FM tuner which I have come to rely on with my Nokia phone while dog walking every day. I bought this to take the place of my new phone without an FM tuner. Very disappointed in the sound, size, ability to lock in stations, nothing comes in on TV tuner at all, and the buttons to move to favorite stations are goofy. If this was a $25 item I would say it is worth it but not at this price. After I bought it, I was at Target and saw many options that were actually MP3 Players with FM tuners that would have worked as well for less money even though I don’t own any music to download! Live & Learn. No complaints about the vendor that sold it to me though, they had the best price out there.
The Sangean DT-210V radio
I’ve had my Sangean pocket sized radio a couple months and so far I like
it a lot better then the Sony Walkman radios I’ve been buying for
several years. I’m hard hearing so I like it that it has more volume when
I’m outside working. My Sonys would start working on only one side of
the ear phones. Then after awhile no matter how new the ear phones were
it still only worked on one side. I used a set of the old ear phones that
only worked on one ear with the Sony on my new Sangean and both sides worked. The Sony volume control button freqently comes off and gets lost.
Very irrating.They’ve been that way for several years.No such problem with the Sangean.I also like the removal belt holder on the Sangean better
then the one on the Sony.Yesterday I ordered another Sangean, for my wife.
