What is the difference between the AC/AC adaptor that came with the radio and the additional AC/DC adaptor I purchased for $11? Do I need both?

In Australia our electricity is 240 Volts and the radio runs on 120 Volts. I had to purchase an adaptor which reduced 240 Volts to 120 Volts. If you are on 120 Volts you don't need the additional adaptor you purchased. If you are on 240 Volts make sure the adaptor you purchased reduces to 120 Volts. Regards, Charlie.

Sangean K200 needs AC input only and not DC input, therefore the AC/DC adaptor is not compatible. The adaptor will indeed be very useful. Based on my observation, this K200 consumes power more than other models.

No, no ac aadpater was not included. It uses power from the usb connection but like someone else mentioned, it has a mini dc plug. Personally, I have only used the usb for power. No need for anything else.

When I bought mine it did come with an adaptor. I am very happy with this radio. Strongly recommended.

Mine came with the AC adapter. It comes with it. It uses also, six C batteries,a option, instead of the adapter, get some if it might not have the adapter.

Mine did come with the AC adaptor. I was not sure it would either, but was very happy to see that it did. It works great! It is much more expensive than other brands, but has worked every time I tried to open it so far. I am very satisfied with it.

This radio was not designed with a AC or DC adaptor. But in order to accomplish this change over you would have to d take a 12V battery pack and remove the batteries or disable the pack and connect your Positive & Negative up to the pack. Use a volt meter to test and locate the positive terminal on the battery if it is not already identified. Most of all check the voltage output of your DC supplier first to make sure that the voltage and the amps are constantly within the original radios spec. if not, DON'T MAKE THE CONNECTION!!!!!!! You might destroy a good radio.

It has an optional AC adapter kit. I bought the unit without this. I use batteries because I need to be portable.

The AC had nothing to do with the antenna. Your radio feeds the antenna. You just need to add some metal or buy one of the adapters.

Yes Amazon has some fine ac/dc transformers,but according to some reviews the one with the less inteference wasn't available from Sony anymore,so I bought mine offsite at universal radio.The cheaper ones act as an antenna for interference(to be honest all do)but the one I have seems ok,it was a little pricey and shipping fees also.Rechargingable batteries will work also,but to me they're a pain also.Good Luck and Happy Listening its a great radio

The adapter is just for powering the transmitter but mine didnt actually come with one. Because its an FM transmitter the sound quality isn't the greatest but its alright.

Yes, the adapter is not included but there is a place for one. The instructions say; ac adapter c52cb73020.

For the fifth time, I answered this question. I already got a AC adapter for my DVD player. I had to go to the dealer direct. OK

It doesnt come with one but you could buy one at radio shack or such since its just an ac adapter.

the radio comes with an ac/dc adapter - just plug it in the back. jack is under the rubber cover

It has both -- I use the ac adaptor mostly. I'll say it again, after many months of use, I still find it a practical way to get good sounds and more practice time in an apartment setting (without bothering the neighbors).
