Same as Sangean ATS-909. Looking to spend under $100.


Let me know what you have!

Just curious. Why do you want one and why does it have to be under a
hundred?


I tried one out when they were on clearance from RS, think I paid $99 for it.

Found it to be not very sensitive and returned it within the month.

It's a "partable"!


It wasn't very sensitive. I was never so dissapointed in a receiver as
I was that. But I'm telling you Steve- if you can get one cheap and
then send it to Chris Justice over at Radio Labs you will be shocked.
I've seen them on ebay with the mods already done.

I just don't understand why they sold those receivers knowing that
there was all kinds of room for improvements. Great portable with the
mods, close to junk IMO without them.
