Default Repairing a Receiver: Where to Send it oout?

Dear Mike,

I can't tell you where to send the radio other than Sangean but I can
tell you that I had one of these also and it "died" too after only
three years of ownership. I just threw it out. It was out of warranty
and I figured that it just wasn't worth paying to repair it. (I have
little confidence in a unit that "dies" that quickly. And, yes, I
opened it up to see if I could figure out what went wrong but I believe
it was the microprocessor, based on how it "died" - nothing much you
can do with that other than to replace it.) You'd have to check, of
course, but you may be able to buy a new SW receiver for not much more
(or even less!) than the cost of repairing the set plus shipping
charges (depending, of course, on just what needs to be done).

Of course if the radio has some particular sentimental or other value
to you, then perhaps others on this group can be of more help to you in
determining who can repair it.

Best of luck,

Joe
