I knew that before I bought my Linksys internet radio when I read the
information on the box.I don't tote it much though,I can listen to it good enough when I am in other rooms in my house,besides,I don't want to drop it.It has two speakers and I can tune in radio stations around the World.It is an internet radio.I like physical radios even though I can use my computer as an internet radio.I am listening to Radio One out of Dublin,Ireland on it right now.That is why I bought it,so I can listen to Ireland and Scotland radio stations.It is worth it to me.Whatever turns your crank,Hank. cuhulin |

I played with one extensively at EEB and came away with the feeling that it was cheaply made, especially in comparison to the more expensive (and better performing) Sony 2010 which I ended up buying. Ya get whatcha pay for. An ATS803A is certainly more rugged than the 2010. |

But if you mean surviving a drop I cpuldn't tell you about that...I don't drop my radios as a test. I do know the controls on the 2010 were far more precise and solid feeling and the case didn't tend to twist and give a bit like the ATS 803a. And my 2010 was going strong for the 12 years leading up to its sale. |

And my 2010 was going strong for the 12 years leading up to its sale. The ATS-803A is built like a tank. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2814 ''Conclusion The Sangean ATS-803A provides a lot of value. It is no wonder they were so popular. It is a well rounded versatile portable radio. 803A's (or their Radio Shack cousins, DX-440's) are frequently sold used in the $60-$100 range. The days of manufacturing portables at this kind of quality level have passed us by. The 803A is a good all-around player for any MW/SW listener, especially if you can string up even a moderate length external antenna. If you can find one in good condition in the $60-$80 range, you are staring a bargain in the face. Note on Modifications This radio has proven to be a modifier's delight. Components inside are relatively easy to get to and there is ample room inside to move things around, add stuff, etc. Among the mods chronicled on the internet: "Anti-chuff," fine tuning and improved whip sensitivity. The fine tune mod is especially valuable for MW work. The fine tune mod provides +/- 3 kHz from the BFO control, when operating in the BFO Off position.'' http://www.radiointel.com/review-ats803a.htm |
