I have seen a Sangean 505 ATS for 159 euros at Conrad web site. What
do you think of it and of its price ?

You can get a cheaper one from the SarDif French shop here (119 €) :
http://www.sardif.com/store/product_...products_id=99

If you can add 30 € to your budget, then I would advice the 909 for 189
€ in the same shop (see link in the previous post).

I am reading the specifications in pdf of each of them and hesitate.
If don't know if there is more sensitivity for the 909 model. There are
no advanced technical specifications.Sardif does not provide the ant-60
nor the adapter.

Has anyone already bought anything for Germany, THIECOM for instance ?
In fact, it is not so easy to find a reliable reseller.

Really ?????? I thought it was ALWAYS included in the box. Perhaps this
is why it is not explicitely written ? Did you call them or email them ?
(I got a reply within a few days after an email).

I see on the 909 Sardif web page :

"Alimentation piles et secteur."
(Battery and AC powered)

"Livré avec antenne ondes courtes et housse de protection."
(Delivered with short-wave antenna and carrying pouch)

So I suspect it is included... I just used the "Contact Us" web page of
their site to ask the question. We will see...

Not me.... Got mine from Darty five years ago, and the Sony was bought
used via eBay.

I just check with them today : both the AC adapter and the ANT-60
antenna are included in the box.

Hello,
I currently own a Grundig Satellit 1400 sl but it is rather (more than
20 years) old and I hear too many crackles when I turn the nob to switch
to others frequency bands. Furthermore, it becomes very difficult to
stay tuned to exactly the same frequency, I always must adjust it by
turning the main nob. It's really a pain to listen to sw. So I wish to
buy a brand new one with the same performance in order to listen to
international stations. One of the purpose is for DXing, hearing weak
radio stations from all over the world. And cheap No more than 150 euros.
I am thinking to the Grundig yacht boy 80 wr 5408 or Sangean ats 505
since it seems to be the same receiver. A pocket sw radio is ok for me.
Its feature should be a range from 1600-30000 khz without
discontinuity, "no holes" if you prefer. I saw at this web site
(http://www.grundig.com/index.php?id=301&pid=291) an interesting one.
When searching the web, a few manufacturers state their radio is a full
range 1600-3000 khz but when looking at a vendor in France (I live in
this country), this is unfortunately no longer true since some
frequencies are missing, I wonder why.
If anyone has usefull links or informations for buying one in France he
is the welcome.
