Generally ok with some glaring issues.

Well that's a pretty ambiguous situation. Sangean fixed most of the problems with the 909X but left out many others. Positive: increased sensitivity due to the built-in antenna. Works well with external antennas. Good selectivity. Multiple bandwidths on AM and SW. Fastest RDS recording of any radio station I have and I have many radio stations. VHF and SW are excellent. The backlight can be switched on permanently. Very good sound quality. The SSB tuning step can be set to 20Hz, which is a big…

Pros
  • Fine tuning and quick shift control
Cons
  • Hard to say

Improvement over the previous model - BUT -

First of all I would like to say that I really like this radio, the new version is an improvement over the old model.

The radio should sound good, right? This one…

Pros
  • 1674 preset stations with 3 separate memory banks

Great Radio: Portable Audio and Video

This is a great radio. I am a radio amateur and have used many radio stations including the predecessor to this one.

All of this has been fixed in version 2 and now this radio is a complete package of pleasant operation and excellent performance. On my first night I had already spent several hours listening to SSB on 80m, all with the built in…

Pros
  • ATS (Auto Tuning System) to LW/MW/HF/FM
Cons
  • Doesn't go with everything
