Review on πŸ“» Sangean HDR-14: The Ultimate Portable HD Radio/FM Stereo/AM in Standart Black by Hemant Negi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Good China for your money. Manufacturer Topstar electronics Co. The radio receiver is made under the license of Hyundai. I have a long experience of using Sony ICF-SW11, Hyundai H-PSR140 is no worse. Reception conditions Hong Kong CJSC, second floor, five-story building. VHF and FM, quite confident, it is not necessary to extend the antenna. There are a couple of stations on the NE. On HF in the late afternoon you can catch something. It is strange that rarely radios are equipped with extended VHF. There are also interesting radio stations.

Pros
  • The real presence of VHF and FM and as a bonus SV and HF. Almost universal. Valkoder without idling. Ability to operate on battery and AA batteries. Stereo sound if you connect headphones, not all Panas can do this. Easily read a 16 GB flash drive in FAT 32 format. It remembers where the song stopped and plays further. Small sizes. The appearance is quite stylish, ala mid-80s. Sounds good, loud and clear. If you turn on music from a flash drive, the sound is at the level of a cassette player with a mono speaker. Not Hi-Fi but not annoying. By the way, the LED flashlight is very relevant. If the electricity goes out, there will be a double benefit. All switches, buttons and knobs are well made.
Cons
  • Smells a bit like plastic. I think it's temporary. On the box and in the instructions it is written, the FM range is 87.5-108 MHz. On the receiver itself 64-108 MHz. This is strange. It is a pity that there is no backlight scale. Although someone with straight arms can refine this moment on their own.

Got pros: Really catches VHF waves from 64 MHz. The build quality is acceptable - nothing wobbles, no backlash. Cons below: Very small adjustment step. It is necessary to twist by 0.01 mm. For reliable reception, it is better to build up the antenna
