Sangean Radio - High Quality / Reasonable Price

This radio is AMAZING! I never thought about purchasing a single speaker mono radio until I heard one at a friends house. You do not have to have stereo to have great sound. This is a single speaker mono unit that sounds AWESOME. This radio sound "full" and has great bass. This unit sounds much larger than it is. I would rate the sound quality nearly as good as a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tivoli-Audio-M1BTBBS-Model-One-BT-Bluetooth-AM-FM-Radio-Black-Ash-Black-Silver/dp/B009DJPOBY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tivoli Audio M1BTBBS Model One BT Bluetooth AM/FM Radio (Black Ash/Black Silver)</a>&nbsp;(which I recently bought as a gift for my elderly parents). There is bass and treble adjustments to fine tune the sound to your liking.

I bought this particular model to replace a cheap alarm clock in my bedroom. This unit has two easy-to-set alarms that can be set once for a daily or weekly alarm. The alarm starts at a low sound and progressively increases in volume that you set. You can wake-up to the alarm sound, your favorite AM or FM station, or any music you have on a USB device. Choose your alarm sound! The LED display is adjustable in brightness and has large numbers that are easy to see from a distance. Great for older eyes!

There are many options for playing media. In addition to OUTSTANDING AM/FM reception you can connect with any Bluetooth device such as media players, cell phones, tablets, computers, etc. There is a 3.5 mm input jack for other types of devices that may not have Bluetooth. There is a USB port that will play MP3 and WMA files.

This radio has OUTSTANDING sensitivity and reception of AM and FM stations. The internal antenna was sufficient for most of my local stations. The unit comes with a small external wire antenna as well and it works reasonably well too. That may be all you need but it is nice to get the maximum number of stations you can! I opted to install an outdoor FM antenna to pull in the most distant stations. There is a 75 ohm F-connector on the back of the unit for an easy antenna install. I chose this&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Winegard-HD-6010-HD-FM-Radio-Antenna/dp/B001HKM1HM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Winegard HD-6010 HD FM Radio Antenna</a>:  to install about 4 feet under my TV antenna. Now I get stations on just about every stop! There are 5 AM and 5 FM presets to store your favorite stations. The only fault I can find with this radio is the need for more presets.

This radio comes with a full function remote control. I keep mine on the nightstand by the bed. Very handy to snooze the alarm without getting up! Also handy for changing stations and making other adjustments. You can even set the alarms with the remote!

I bought this radio July 17, 2016 so I have had it for about a month. I was so impressed with the quality of this Sagean product that I bought another&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sangean-WR-12-AM-FM-Analog-Wooden-Cabinet-Receiver-Walnut/dp/B008B3U5MQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sangean WR-12 AM/FM Analog Wooden Cabinet Receiver (Walnut)</a>&nbsp;for my living room. This radio did not have all the bells and whistles as the WR-22WL but it sound awesome too!

If you are looking for a QUALITY radio ant a reasonable price Sangean is for you. I am a loyal fan of this brand now.

The Sangean PR-D18 is a portable radio that looks rugged and ready for business.
Search my name and model of radio on Youtube for a in-depth review.

The features I like best about this radio:
* Digital Display.
* Alarm functions were top notch, allowing you change the volume of the wake sound.
* Five quick presets for each band.
* Clock.
* Easy to use.
* Fantastic FM reception, and decent AM reception.

Features I wish this radio had:
* Tone control, a little to bassy on the AM band.
* Frequency stays displayed while radio is on...not the clock.
* Carrying handle of some type.
* Matte plastics, this thing is a fingerprint magnet.  Looks awful pretty quick.

I recommend this radio as a buy for those looking for simplicity but still want a digital tuner.  Great for a kids room, small shop, ect..

I bought this radio for AM and FM DXing after reading a review on it at "www.radiojayallen.com". I absolutely love it. To me. this is the new Superadio! The audio is excellent with plenty of bass and treble on tap so you don't always have to have the bass and treble controls maxed out. This is one of the few radios I own that picks up all my local FM stations with zero static, despite (or maybe because of) the shorty whip. The MW DX is superb as well, and I have had some astonishing daytime DX receptions.

What is not mentioned in the reviews, or shown clearly in the photos, is the way the radio flares out at the base. The 2 rows of D cell batteries, instead of being placed one row on top of the other up/down, has the batteries instead side by side at the bottom of the radio. This results in the base being extended out the width of a D cell from the top and middle of the radio. I really like the looks of the radio this way. Also, it provides a considerable amount of stability to the radio such that it is almost impossible to accidentally tip it over. The overall construction is very solid and high quality; there is nothing that feels cheap, or screams "crap" at you when you hold the radio.

Another feature not advertised is that this radio is capable of self-alignment. It is shown in the manual under the trouble shooting section for the question as to what to do if there is a drop in volume when tuning in a station. To realign the radio, when tuned to any AM station, press and hold the "Display Clock and Frequency" button until the weather alert LED starts flashing (top left on front of radio). At this point, release the "Display Clock and Frequency" button, then give it a short press. Leave the radio alone while it auto aligns. mine takes about 5 minutes to do. You are always assured of razor sharp alignment with this feature, no matter how old the radio.

While I do not listen to the 2 meter ham band, the weather channels are a welcome addition.

This has turned out to be my favorite radio in a very short time. It is well worth the price.

I have bought and returned 3 radios from local stores because I couldn't get my favorite NPR channel but the SangeanWR2 is a keeper. It's easy to use and just the right size for my desk. I was surprised when it was delivered within 24 hours of ordering it.

Excellent radio for the garage/shed. Balance of base and treble excellent.  Reception is perfect.  Definitely will buy another Sangean product .

I read the reviews and made the purchase. This is a nice radio and has better reception than my Sangean DT-210, which started to go bad after about 4 years. The reception was even good in the middle of the house with the headphones as the antenna. I'm getting all the AM stations that I get on my car radio and the majority of the FM. The ear buds supplied are high quality and have wood barrels on them. I'm not sure if that adds anything to the sound but it sure looks cool. Programming the stations is easy. Press and hold the buttom for 2 seconds and it is done. My only druther would be to have a little more bass. This sounds a little tinny but this is minor to me. I recommend this radio.

Wow!!!  I checked the market for a small radio for weeks.  This little radio is just unreal. Have it in my office at home, and it sounds like an expensive sound system.  I just can't get over how good it sounds for the price {$136.99}(best deal out there....bar none).  It feels great when you search for a long time and read countless reviews and make a selection that is better that you thought possible. Sangean is now on my radar as a quality company.  I love this radio.

The Sangean HDR-18 is a great table radio.  FM and FM HD reception is really good with just the included telescoping antenna.  AM and AM HD reception was much better than I expected.  With just the built in ferret antenna it actually is a better AM receiver than my Denon receiver that cost many times more.  I would like to see how it does with an outside AM and FM antenna.  We are really enjoying listening to digital HD broadcasts with it.  The single speaker sound is very good with more than ample bass response even though it is not stereo.  Stereo is available however with headphones.  The rear aux input allows you to connect other sources for listening.  The rear audio output allows to to use and external amplifier or an audio recorder.  The only fault I have found is with the clock.  It does not keep time well even in the auto mode.  When you have the radio on, the clock does not stay synchronized and loses time.  When the radio is turned off. the clock will be off by several minutes.  It does eventually catch up.  I would not recommend buying this radio to be used as a clock radio, but it is a great radio.  I would say that it performs very comparably to the much revered GE Super Radio.

I purchased the Sangean WR-1 radio for it's AM feature. I enjoy listening to Talk Radio. I am well pleased with the radio's total performance. The WR-1 has a great sound for it's size. I would recommend the addition of an exterior AM antenna for distant radio stations.

Brilliant Easy to read display
The first thing that impressed me aside from the size and quality was the brilliant and easy to read display of this radio. The two line display and the choice of display color make this radio easy to use and navigate through the menu system. The various option for screen color lighting also make the radio easy to read. The fact that the display lighting can be changed to suit the operator is a nice feature.
Superb audio quality
I have to say that after owning a few of the big 3 brand of radios I was thrown back by the outstanding and loud audio this radio has. I was not sure what to expect at first with such a small radio but the audio is outstanding, sounds great and no distortion even at full volume.
Features and Specifications:
 Dual Band Transceiver
 Brilliant L.C.D. Display
 D.C.S. and C.T.C.S.S. encoding
 VOX function
 Flashlight/Alarm feature
 FM radio band receive
 128 memory channels
 Dual watch
 Menu driven programming
 Software available for programming (cable sold separately)
 Drop in Li-On charger
 7.4v 1800mah Li-On battery
 High (5w) and Low (1w) power settings
 Accessory ports for adding speaker microphone (sold separately)
 Belt clip ( Soft case also sold separately)
 Selectable frequency steps
 Selectable repeater offsets
 Adjustable squelch via menu
 Adjustable TOT (Transmission Timer)
 Cross band receive/transmit
 Dual VFO
 Narrow and Wide FM selectable
And many more features too many to list.

The radio itself is great little performer. Battery life on receive is fantastic, battery life on transmit has yet to be determined. Looks rugged and fits nicely in the hand.
For the price of this radio (under $50.00 with free shipping to Canada and U.S.A.) you cannot go wrong for a radio to throw in your shirt pocket or your backpack as a take along radio to listen to N.O.A.A. weather stations, FM stations and monitor local repeaters. Accessories are all about one third each of the cost of the radio, which makes the low price of this radio even more impressive. The small antenna with SMA connector though lacks in receive performance of course, but other antennas can be purchased and used with this radio to get out of those fringe areas.
The Pofung UV-6R is a great introduction to the increasing line of radios on the market. It makes it affordable for the first time user and easy to operate; it also performs well and gets great audio reports into the repeaters. Its light weight and long battery life make a great emergency radio for that go-kit or to have on hand when needed for that last minute hike.

A great addition to the Sangean radio. It would be nice if they packaged the power cord with the radio.

It is hard to find a quality radio that excels in tuning selectivity and sensitivity. Ever since the semi-conductor radio replaced the electron tube radio, the receiver quality has been lacking.  A radios ability to capture weak or average signals and effect consistent AGC (automatic gain control) is one of the characteristics of a quality radio.  The Crane CCRadio2 is the best radio I have owned in it's price range and does an excellent job in all frequency bands provided.  One pleased customer.

I am delighted with this Radio. The functionality, where the controls are placed makes using the radio a delight.
The ease with which I can use the controls, in just few hours that I have had this radio is a compliment to the designers. Programming in the stations was very easy. Reception is excellent. I have a Sangean PR-D5 which I believe has the finest AM/FM reception of any radio I have purchased in recent years, and this ATS 909x matches it.
I am not a short wave expert, however I was listening to Europe and Australia my first evening with just the attached FM antenna.
I am glad I searched and read the countless reviews on Sangean and other brands before I made my decision.
This purchase was one of my best.

I wanted a GOOD QUALITY clock radio and did my shopping on the net.  My search led me to the Sangean RCR-22; and I have read the reviews here, both good and bad, newest first.  "Dennis" review of Jan 15 very helpful, and I am very satisfied with my new RCR-22.

First; the critique where I can only give 4 stars and not 5:  my radio was not easy to set up... instructions say "Press 'Menu' to enter the setting" and then the "Tuning Up/Down" to change a given setting; and then "Band/Select" for the radio to acknowledge the setting.
From my experience; what should be easy was not - and all I can say is one has to LEARN the touchiness of the buttons, in fact I was feeling my radio defective after 20 minutes when the 'menu' button didn't change to any other menu or selection at all...

AND SO, when setting the radio up; the all-important Menu Selection WILL work, I just had to play with it.  Like 'don't HOLD' the menu button but just TAP it.

I have read about how confusing the enclosed manual is...my manual was fairly well written and easy 'step-by-step instructions that were easy to follow.  All I can say is to READ THE MANUAL before doing anything.  Familiarize yourself with the product first.  In the manual (which again, mine was fairly well written; the tab said 'GB' but it isn't in 'Brit' English; in fact as said rather easy to follow.  However; note pgs 13-15 regarding clock time setting as well as pgs 7-9.  The RCR-22 DOES have this huge 'atomic clock' atannae.  It also syncronizes its time with RDS (Radio Data System) time from radio stations (usually FM) where the RCR-22 will adjust itself daily according to RDS time.

Personally; I don't care of Im off a minute or two.  My watch, my laptop, my Kindle, my clock radio...I do not need split-second timing.  Anyway - regarding naysayers about "Atomic dosen't work" I am answering that.  The RCR-22 has RDS timing too.

I have read criticism about the display brightness.  The lower right button controls screen brightness; from 100% to the degree you yourself set from the adjust knob on the bottom. All the revue complaints are groundless.

The RCR-22 Does NOT have individual alarm settings by 'Day of Week'.  On either Alarm 1 or 2; one can select: 'Once Only', 'Daily' or 'Weekend'.  I feel this is a design flaw for a high-quality clock radio.
However; the left side 'Alarm 1' and 'Alarm 2' buttons are lit with a VERY dim red band on the button; not to mention main display.  The alarms are very easily set and regarding day of week?  Simply press one or the other alarm buttons.

It has a lot of cords.  The power cord is thicker than most; however it is 'integrated'...and by that I mean it dosn't have an independent transformer serving as the wall plug.  There is the cord for that atomic antennae and also for FM reception.

Now that I've answered the criticisms re the RCR-22; let me tell what REALLY impressed me:

The sound - single speaker - is GREAT.  From the 'Menu' button one can turn Loudness on or off... once you get the hang of using that Menu button, as Ive said before.  The volume control knob is a DREAM.  If you are picky about 'just the right' volume; you will like this.  The right side Volume knob is in increments so small as to be from a surgeon.  For example; I am using Vol 14 where to others this would be 5 or less.  You will be pleasantly surprised at the precision of volume control
Having a set of pre-set station buttons is ergonomic; as the volume control.

NAP function is great; kick-back for 5 min up to 2 hrs - and with the aux jack; plug your MP3 player with your fav meditation music... its easy and WELL WORTH the price...

So to sum up:  if you are tired of cheap clock radios, or whatever is on the shelf at your bricks-n-mortar store of choice; the Sangean RCR-22 is worthy of serious consideration.
I highly recommend this product.

The radio more than lives up to listed features. Superior reception combined with ease of use makes this unit an outstanding value. Has better reception than many other more expensive radios. Sound is adequate and the TV band really comes in handy. Overall, a great value for the price. It is small enough to take with you on the go but big enough to provide full audio pleasure.

I am very happy with this radio. I did notice a little less fm reception but not enough to worry about. I was able to install it myself without issues and put in the back up camera as well. Nice price that allows you to do the upgrades you want when you want them later on and still have quality of use.

A tremendous value for a small price.  This radio exceeds the capabilities of most two way radios costing many times more.
