Sangean Dt-120 White Pocket Am/Fm Digital Radio

I was really disappointed with this sangean dt120radio– my 3rd attempt at outfitting myself with a pocket fm. I didn’t use it that much right after purchase, so by the time it died on me it was out of warranty. I had probably used it all of 3-4 hours.

I don’t see why it is so hard to find a half decent fm radio that is small enough for purse or pocket. This is old technology folks! I know the new i-pod nano has an fm radio, but I feel skeptical about that one too…

My first Sangean radio. Bought it because of reception ratings, but it’s no better or worse then any of my mp3 radios or small and large sonys. Didn’t get the TV band because next year tv signal will be digital and i’m not sure if tv band will work.

PROS: it works.

CONS:

*price. I only paid $10 and it’s worth it, but wouldn’t pay more than that.

*design – so 1980’s. 1 memory button is too close to headphone jack; memory buttons??? how long does it take to scroll through 5am 10fm stations? it’s not 300 tv channels.

*bass boost? with or without DBB it sounds worse than any of my players or compact sony radio.

*headphones don’t fit well in the ears.

*NO CLOCK – even the cheapest radios with lcd display have clocks and some even world time and alarms.

*size – can be smaller and slimmer, or at least integrate something like voice recorder ..or a camera (next millenium)

*no clip, no case, white color.

*a speaker would be nice

*reception – am/fm same as any other radio i have, does not pull local am signal any better, indoors or out.

*battery door

This sangean won’t be replacing my compact sony. 2 stars because it works.

I did not get much chance to hear what it sounds because it kept switching off after 15 seconds .

I have and had other pocket radios from Sanegean and was happy with those .

Bought for a friend, who called and told me he loved it

Right size, good sound, perfect price

I use an iPod shuffle to replay Rush, he wants it live

Besides loving the small size I love the feature that it shuts off after 90 minutes. I’d always fall asleep at night while listening to the radio, and

would have to replace the batteries more than I would have liked. This solves

that problem. It’s a good, well worth the $ little radio.
