Hello,

Re the Sangean ATS-909X, that I guess will be available in a month or so:

Can't find anything on their site regarding if it is at all possible to
update the internal memory, with, eibi e.g., twice a year when the
schedules change.

Would one have to do it manually for each frequency, or is their,
possibly, a way to download the new seasonal frequencies ?

Any general thoughts or opinions on the radio specs, even though not
avail. yet ?

Thanks,

It's called ATS because it has an Automatic Tuning System. It'll hunt
for stations and remember them (I think). Then you delete the ones you
don't want and add alpha tags. No USB that I can see.

* * * * * * * Most ATS (automatic tuning system) is limited to
* * * * * * * the FM bands.

* * * * * * * You can do such uploads with other radios and their

* * * * * * * such.

The only radios I've ever used this feature on were VHF/UHF scanners.
There are so few HFBC stations nowadays I wouldn't even worry about it.

The various spec lists say"

....*ATS (Car Tuning System) auto scan and preset in priority of signal
strength in FM / MW / LW bands
*FM RDS / RBDS function with PS, PTY, RT and CT
*DSP IF decoder
*Automatically searches for strongest signal station within SW
station pages....

Urh that's it for scanning frequencies.
No upload. A reference to an EEPROM is for saving
memories when
unplugged, changing batteries etc.

Interesting is the Radio Shack price of USD$449 and others around USD
$225, 250

91 days. Guarateed. That's part of the 'conspicuous consumption'
theory. Or something close to it.

for other problems, (and solutions) and manual of the present 909,

Had an older CC Radio {Sangean} that has a
faded 'blank' LCD. Gave it to and legally Blind
Women who love the Sound and had no-problem
with the blank-look. All she had to do was
Tune-by-Ear and set the Pre-Sets. Other than
the 'blank' LCD the Radio still works as a Radio
Sound-Machine and has been doing so for at
least 6~7 years for her. ~ RHF

That reminds me of a story I once read in a book, All Things (I don't
remember the rest, I have several of those books here) A dog that was
constantly breaking wind all the time and his wind was very pungent.That
dog wound up being adopted by a woman who had lost her sense of smelling
anything.I think it was a Boxer dog.
