I am looking for a sensitive SW radio which can pick up radio stations
from India and Ceylon which normally transmit vintage hindi music . I
have a Grundig
FR - 200 and sometimes I am able to tune India ( Vividh Bharti ) on 31
meters .
I had no success so far with radio ceylon which is on 25 meter band .

Sangean 818 without the cassette player (in other words, with the larger
speaker) would be much better for listening to music.

(or anything with good external speakers)

As always: the antenna is more important than the radio.

Give the group what type of buil;ding, i.e., house with yards, farm with
acerage, apartment (and how well the radio receives through an exterior wall
as opposed to a window) andf anything else you can think of and somebody will
have had the exact same thing grin.

I don't think the 818 is made anymore. Only the 818cs.

You're correct, the 818 is definitely no longer in production. I was
informed of that by service reps at Sangean's, El Monte, CA facility. They
still have small production runs to satisfy warranty returns, etc., but
thats it. Evidently the 818ACS outsold the 818 by quite a bit, but I
preferred the 818 with the larger speaker also.

I took a look at a few sites and it appears that you are correct.

Thanks!
