I've had mine since 1998. Other than the speaker grille starting to
pop up in one corner and the antenna screw needing a once-a-year
tightening, mines as good as new. I take it on frequent business
trips. Driving.

Hello All.

I too have a Sangean ATS-606AP as well as the Sony ICF-7600G and GR
models. For several years, my Sangean was my travel radio. It was a
very good performer but last year I noticed that it would lose certain
frequencies I had programmed into it. At first I thought it was some
error on my part, but I have found that that was not the case. This
has gotten worse and worse. In other words, it appears that the
memories and/or tuning facilities are starting to "go" and, of course,
you really can't have one of these radios "fixed."

Therefore, this year I took one of my '7600Gs with me on vacation,
sadly "retiring" the Sangean. (I really liked its size for travel.)
Frankly, the Sony greatly outperformed the Sangean in California.

Best,

Joe
