I have a Sangean 909, but have found a Satelite 800 selling for
350
bucks. Please advise, will I be better served with the 800, or no?
Thank
You


For broadcast listening, yes... Great audio :-) Not to mention
the sync
detector.

Yes, much nicer overall for listening on the 800. Not
that big of a surprise, since it's got the guts of the
Drake SW8 inside.

For travel... Ummm.. No :-) The Sat 800 sounds great, but it
is too big for a carry on...

Please tell me you never carried around a boom box
(or ghetto blaster, depending on what part of the country
you lived in) when you were younger. Back when
I was a teen, just about everyone had one of those
suckers, and they all weighed about the same as the
800.

Of course, boom box vs. iPod..... I think the iPod wins
as far as easy of carrying and volume of songs vs.
the cassette capability of the boom box. ;-)
