Sangean DT200VX AM/FM/TV Portable Pocket-Size Radio

Product Description

Sangean's DT-200VX builds on the success of its predecessor, the DT-200V - a popular belt radio for over a decade. It has great selectivity and responsiveness and picks up stations in areas where no other radio could. Along with great reception in the classic black case, you'll also get the handy belt clip, a set of ear buds and an external antenna. The DT-200VX also has a clock, backlight and deep bass boost. The 19-band memory and memory seeker makes it easy to tune in, and the large LCD display makes it easier to see. The Sangean legacy of superior reception and sensitivity are here, with additional features that it even better. Stereo / Mono / Speaker Switch Deep Bass Boost Removable belt clip Auto-seek station Battery power indicator

Amazon.com Product Description

The ultimate pocket radio, Sangean's popular DT200V is imminently compact but loaded with convenient features, from its 19 station presets to its drift-free, PLL synthesized tuning, auto station scanning, TV sound reception, and handy belt clip. Listen through the built-in speaker or the supplied ear bud headphones. Forgot to turn it off? No worries: it shuts itself off after 60 minutes to conserve batteries (its sole source of power). The radio's high-impact ABS case virtually guarantees long life.

Batteries should last 30 to 40 hours at moderate volume through the unit's single speaker and slightly longer on the included ear bud headphones. Pocket use was taken into account even at the level of ear bud manufacture: if you put your radio in your pocket, it's less distance to one ear than to the other, so one side of the headphone cord is accordingly shorter. The DT200V runs on 2 AA batteries, not included.

What's in the Box
Radio, ear bud headphones, belt clip, trailing antenna, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PRODUCT, AND INEXPENSIVE.......2007-12-17

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT. WHEN I PLACED THE ORDER I HAD MY DOUBTS, BUT ONCE I STARTED TO USE IT I REALIZED IT WAS WORTH HAVING BOUGHT IT. IT HAS VERY NICE SOUND TAKING IN CONSIDERATION THE SIZE. WHEN I USE WITH THE EARPHONES(INCLUDED)IS LIKE LISTENING A VERY EXPENSIVE WALKMAN. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET IN THE MARKET A DIGITAL AM/FM RADIO AS GOOD AS THIS ONE. THE RECEPTION IS ALSO GOOD.

5 out of 5 stars sangean radio.......2007-12-08

This radio has good reception while walking down the street. I live in a city with radio stations close by and they do not interfere with reception. I have used it in the lobby of my apartment building and it still has good reception. Even-thou the ear phones do not look like much they perform well. The manufacture sends some foam pieces with the radio, these go over the ear phones.

4 out of 5 stars Good for cyclists.......2007-11-09

I bought this because I did not want to ride my road bike in silence in the night during the winter months. It's nice to have the company of talk radio. It fits perfectly into the front pocket of my Topeak Handy Phone Pack Plus ($20 on Amazon) which mounts to my stem. I like the fact that the channel buttons are near the top, as well as the volume. It makes it easy to operate during a ride. I don't like using ear buds, so the speaker, though small, is good enough and audible during rides. The reception is very good. During commercials, I hit the channel button to one of my top 20 favorite channels. I do have to plug in the antenna on top, and wrap it around my phone pack. Butfor me, this unit is about perfect. I did not give it 5 stars because for a portable radio, I think it is a bit pricey.

4 out of 5 stars Nice and good quality digital radio.......2007-10-25

Good quality product. Very decent reception and dual speaker/earphone
output. Good value for price.

5 out of 5 stars Solid performance, handy size, simple to use........2007-10-21

This little radio has exceeded my expectations. The controls are very intuitive and laid out logically. The switches, materials, fit and finish are of high quality. The display is easy to read. I live in a big city but my favorite FM station has a wimpy transmitter and a strong adjacent station. This radio does a nice job of rejecting the adjacent signal. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Near perfect portable radio.......2007-12-10

I own two other Sangean portables and one Sony Sports radio. This one is the best. It's perfect for your shirt or coat top pocket. Preset tuned stations are buttons on the top of the radio making them easy to get to. The size and display is perfect for pocket size. Sound quality, AM/FM, have not been compromised from previous larger models (which is somewhat remarkable for AM reception since AM reception requires as large as possible built in "bar" antenna). A single AAA battery lasts forever. I don't use the bass boost, too strong for my tastes or my favorite earplugs. Standard earplugs are just "OK".

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2007-12-01

Fantastic. Best reception I have ever had with a tv radio. It smokes Sonys version in my opinion.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Radio.......2007-11-16

Elegant look, good reception. Preset buttons small and hard to use. Auto turn off when earphone is removed is a nice touch. Lost it and replaced it with lower tech Sony SRF-M37V: bigger buttons and cheaper.

4 out of 5 stars OK for the price.......2007-10-02

I live in Madison, WI and can pick up a few Chicago AM stations with this unit. So I'm pretty happy with the reception. However, the built-in antenna is sensitive to how the unit faces. In other words, for long range stations, it works best if you keep the unit facing the direction of the broadcast. That's not ideal if you are using it for running. Also, the unit lacks a belt clip, which again would be nice for running.

4 out of 5 stars Good, not great pocket radio.......2007-07-26

Good - Small size, light weight, sound quality and battery life.
Average - tuner sensitivity and selection leave much to be desired.

Overall I like this radio, but I don't know that the increased price vs a comparable Sony are justified.

My husband is a mailman. This is a perfect size radio and the reception is awesome. He has tried others but nothing can compare to this model. For the prize - you can NOT go wrong!

1 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2005-11-30

I have an extensive collection of radios, small, medium, large, analog,and digital. This radio is without a doubt the worst of the lot. The reception is so poor,it barely qualifies as a radio. I gave it away, but probably should have thrown it away to save the new owner the trouble.

2 out of 5 stars AM/FM is OK, SW just isn't there..........2004-12-10

I understand that you shouldn't expect a lot from the radio that lists under $15 but I believe that manufacturer should deliver on the basic functionality. None of the short wave bands works, all you get is a lot of static and some distorted FM transmissions (yes, on SW band). Also, I've noticed that the the frequency bands don't follow standard convention, which could make some of them pretty useless (if they were working).
I own several portable AM/FM/SW radios and, although some of them have better SW reception than others, I've never had an item that claims SW coverage but has none.
On the positive note, AM/FM seems to be OK.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage........2007-10-15

Even for a Coby this thing is horrible. You wont get clear signals of any station. The materials are cheap and the dial broke after 2 weeks. I gave it 1 star because you can't give it a zero.

2 out of 5 stars Digital Tuning?.......2007-02-15

It has a digital display for AM and FM radio, but the problem is the tuning itself is not digital. You spin a knob on the side to tune it... making this no easier to tune stations. Who knew they even made radios like this? I bought this so I could easily change the channels from AM to FM but it is not easy at all. In fact it is very difficult to get to the right frequency. Also, I could not get in an AM channel that I know other radios could in the same location. On the plus side, it was compact and cheap. You get what you pay for I guess.

3 out of 5 stars Does not quite deliver all you want.......2007-01-10

I've been using the COBY CX39 for a few months. It has a few oddities that I wish I had know before I purchased it. The AM stations all have a high-pitched interference sound no matter what station and what direction I point it in. I don't experience that on my other radios. It's very annoying. The FM frequency does not do this, but AM is terrible.

The tuning is a bit odd. It doesn't lock-in to a frequency like a digital radio. You have to constantly adjust it to get the strongest signal. The dials to tune and adjust volume work counter-intuitively in that dialing up turns the dial/volume down and dialing down turns them up. Plus, it only saves one station. So if you switch between AM and FM it only keeps one of them. You can't even store your favorite on each frequency.

1 out of 5 stars Junk.......2007-01-10

I own several small radios, including portable shortwaves. This is by far the most unuseable. With single conversion design and a low price I expected some things to be under par, but....the frequency readout was way off and selectivity was horrible. Regular AM stations were impossible to tune in accurately. There was significant 'bleed' between adjacent stations making it difficult to impossible to listen. I returned this unit.

2 out of 5 stars Needs better Quality Control.......2006-07-16

It's certainly a substantial radio for the money.
FM reception is excellent.
AM reception is marginal for a rural area.
I ordered 3 radios. ( for family members )
One didn't work right out of the box.
Another developed a scratchy volume control
after a few hours of use.

Amazon.com Review

For those of us who don't like to be without news and music when we travel, the Sangean ATS 606AP compact stereo receiver is the ideal companion. The unit receives AM/FM, long-wave, and shortwave signals (frequency ranges from 153 to 29,995 kHz and 87.5 to 108 MHz), and frequencies can be set either automatically or manually through the keypad.

One of the things that make the ATS 606AP such a terrific travel radio is that it's adaptable for use anywhere in the world. The digital clock can be set to any two time zones, and the unit provides both an alarm and sleep timer. You can set the radio to automatically turn off so that you fall asleep to music and then later gently awaken you with news, music, or the alarm.

The auto-tune feature scans all available radio frequencies and presets the stations to the strongest FM/AM or long-wave signal. An internal memory can hold up to 54 radio frequencies, saving you time searching for your favorites. You can refine the tuning with the manual control. Our reception on FM/AM bands was very good, but shortwave yielded only one interference-ridden station, and we were unable to tune in any long-wave at all. The LCD shows the current station, frequency, local time, memory location, and the status of the alarms and all other functions. A small light in the display window switches on for viewing the display in the dark.

The carrying pouch is sturdy and convenient with Velcro seals, but neither the shortwave handbook nor the accompanying earphones fit properly in the case. The radio is good looking and compact in design, with a retractable antenna. It's also easy to use, but you'll probably need the handbook to set your preferred stations and use the more advanced functions. Overall, the ATS 606AP is a portable clock radio (just under 6 by 3.5 inches and weighing only 1 pound) with a great deal of appeal. The radio includes a multivoltage AC adapter and a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. --David Greenberger

5 out of 5 stars Great little radio.......2007-04-30

Owned one of these for about 4 years and dropped it several weeks ago. Replaced it with another one last week. Works great on all bands, SSB and synchronus detection would be a nice addition though.

4 out of 5 stars Great Pocket Sw Radio from Sangean.......2006-03-09

For several years, this has been my favorite multiband pocket radio. It recently has been bumped from that position by the Kaito KA1102(see my review on the Kaito). Both receivers offer excellent AM FM and Shortwave performance, including STEREO to earphones.

The choice between the two radios hinges on features, price and desire for ease of use.
Sangean offers Long wave reception, Kaito does not.
Kaito has Single sideband mode (for Hams), Sangean does not.
Humane alarm of Sangean is less "jarring".
Sangean in MUCH easier to use/Manual is easy to understand.
Kaito is cheaper but feels more solidly built.
Sangean has rotary volume control, Kaito has up/down buttons.
"batteries included" on Kaito (NiMH rechargeable).

Both are pretty amazing for their size!!!

1 out of 5 stars Wasn't What I Expected,.......2005-11-15

I got this radio November 9th, and am not pleased. The reception isn't that great, and the F.M. has too much override; where you hear the same station on adjacent frequencies. Unless it's a very strong station, you have to tune away from the nearby station to get anything. Sangean could've done better.

5 out of 5 stars very good receiver.......2005-10-07

After having one for 5 years, I have ordered another for a friend of mine. Compact, good sound, simple to use, I like it.

5 out of 5 stars My favorite radio.......2005-05-18

After trying a few different radios, including the Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE, this one is still the best. FM reception is un-equaled by any other radio I have, plus very good AM and SW sensitivity. Many more features than the YB400. Very decent sound from the speaker and superb sound from a good pair of headphones. The Yacht Boy might sound a little better (the speaker is at least twice the size), but I still love playing with this little gem.

There are characteristics about all radios that each individual would like to have in their ideal radio and you can read a few of those in the other reviews. However, I personally can't think of anything I wish were different about this radio, other than I wouldn't take it to the beach and expose it to the salt air. Otherwise, it goes everywhere. It's also the radio I use most often in the house. And for the price you can get it for, it's more than worth it.

I guess instead of just repeating a lot of what has already been written, I'll just say I've bought three!

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sangean ATS-404 digital AM/FM stereo receiver is a portable shortwave radio with a built-in digital clock. This radio can receive an expanded number of radio frequencies, which makes it an ideal radio for either urban or rural use.

The illuminated time display, which also includes seconds, can be set to show the time of day in either 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour time intervals. The alarm for this receiver has a repeating beep tone which increases in volume once every 15 seconds, for up to 1 minute. The radio has an adjustable sleep timer and snooze control.

The radio frequencies can be tuned in either automatically or manually. The auto memory scan will run through and play each preset station for seven seconds. The auto preset system will hold up to 45 frequencies in memory.

The radio includes a carrying case and stereo earbuds, along with a manufacturer's warranty for one year on parts and labor.

2 out of 5 stars Product didn't last very long.......2005-05-19

I bought the Sangean ATS-404 for my wife for Christmas 2004. I found the sound output rather amazing for such a small package. AM reception wasn't great but adequate. FM was fine. SW left much to be desired. My wife was born and raised in Africa and I bought this radio with the idea she might pickup stations from South Africa or Kenya. We could get very few stations at all and none from Africa.

And the worst has been after less than six months use I found the radio sitting in a pool of "radio blood" this morning. I suppose some large capacitor inside leaked (no, it wasn't batteries). So now it doesn't work. Seems like a lot of money to spend on what is essentially a small FM transistor radio.

If you have to buy Sangean, better spend some extra money on a service policy. Better yet, buy anything but Sangean.

3 out of 5 stars Good for the casual listener - better radios out there for the $$ .......2003-11-25

Hi folks its Vince the radioman . I have a large selection of radios and love to do compares and share my thoughts. This radio is good for the casual listener who doesn't want to spend a lot of money but would like to hear some SW along with AM/FM . The FM section is the best part of this radio .The AM section is filled with images and noise for the DXers out there . For local AM its pretty good.The built in sound and sound slection modes are surpisingly good. The overall construction and quality is fair at best and the radio is a battery hog . The SW section is fair. If you want to hear the big broadcasters , ok , anything else is static. There is no fine tuning . The YB300 and the Eton e 100 are far better for tuner sensativity and battery life.Its not a bad radio but others are better. How about 2 and half stars.

5 out of 5 stars Great radio for the money!.......2003-01-29

This radio is the best of its type for the money. The Sangean 505 gives you SSB and a nice fine-tuning knob, but it is considerably more expensive, and also quite a big larger. If all you want is a good, small, AM/FM, basic shortwave radio with a speaker and memory, you can't beat this.

I find its reception to be quite good, on all 3 bands.

As far as battery use, it works very smoothly with rechargables. It has a 3-segment battery indicator that displays when you first turn it on. When only 1 segment is lit, it means you are getting toward the end (maybe about 1 hour left). At that point, you can charge a second set of batteries and install them when it finally dies.

You can also just disregard the battery indicator and wait for it to die, and then charge the second set. As soon as the battery power gets too low, the radio shuts off, but still retains the time and memory station settings. It can run in this low-power mode for hours. In my case, I had 4 nicads in it that died, and it took me 6 hours to charge 4 NiMHs that I use as the 2nd set. The radio's time and memory settings were still intact when I finally installed the NiMHs (you have 3 minutes to make the actual switch). Very nice!

1 out of 5 stars failed miserably.......2002-12-23

memory feature doesn't work, sounds a loud 'chirp' constantly after one month of use.

2 out of 5 stars Good Thing They Sell it as AM/FM Because SW is Lacking.......2002-01-12

The Sangean ATS-404 is a budget minded travel portable designed for the business or vacationer on the go who wants to take a small receiver along for the trip.

The radio is touted as an AM/FM stereo portable primarily, although the unit also is considered an entry level shortwave portable.

The AM sensitivity and selectivity on this receiver is only fair, and if you are close to a transmitter, the receiver can be overloaded and spurious (secondary) signals will appear as you scan the band.

FM is adequate, but the receiver is also prone to overloading in areas near FM transmitters, with stations appearing in places they do not belong.

The shortwave performance on this receiver indicates that band was an afterthought, much like some boom boxes used to include one long shortwave band for novelty value.

Even reception of strong signals available to North American shortwave listeners such as Voice of America, Radio Canada International, BBC World Service, Radio Havana Cuba and Deutsche Welle were not all they could be. The reception of good quality signals on shortwave requires a decent antenna, and the antenna on this receiver won't cut it. Attempting to hook up an external antenna overloads the receiver.

If you are looking for a travel portable with AM & FM reception, this is an adequate choice, but if you want a receiver that can competantly handle shortwave, choose a higher end Sangean model or a unit priced at $99 or above with digital readout. You'll be far happier.

4 out of 5 stars A great radio with only a few minor flaws........2006-08-09

Pro: Not too large for a compact radio. Superior signal sensitivity and image rejection. Antanna is nice and sturdy. Reasonably priced. Tuning knob aids band-scanning a lot. No muting during band-scanning. The radio has a large LCD display.
Single-side-band is handy for listening to radio amateurs and utility stations.

Con: Leather case does not fully protect the sides and bottom of the radio. Magnetic clips are slightly weak. The case sags when acting as an elevation panel. The radio requires 4 AA cells; slightly inconvenient when using away from home. No power adapter supplied. The radio does NOT display the metre band; it says only "broadcast band" when entering into a broadcast band.

Overall, I like this radio, despite its flaws. I am planning on buying one for myself. I highly recommand it.
