Battery Life :
I have not Timed them and Recorded the Battery Life of both Radios :
But my general impression is that the Sangean ATS-909 (RadioShack
DX398) sucks-up batteries faster then the Sony ICF-SW7600GR.
Question - Has anyone actually Timed the Sangean ATS-909
(RadioShack DX398) -vice- the Sony ICF-SW7600GR Side-by-Side ?
Re-Chargable Batteries :
In either case with most 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios where
man-made-noise is an issue and the use of Batteries for Power is
recommended for improved receiption. Then the use of Rechargable
Batteries is highly recommended as a way of greatly reducing the
Cost of Battery Operation of the Radio.
just my two cents worth - iane ~ RHF
