Gary, The way you describe how to save stations in memory with the Sony is exactly the same as for the Sangean 220V. The problem you talk about may apply to the 200V--I can't remember. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Schindler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I think these Sangean radios are a bear to program. there is a separate button apart from the up/down buttons that is used to scan your presets you have entered. you have to count how many times you have advanced your preset button when entering a station so you don't accidently erase one of your previously programmed presets in memory. when you switch bands from AM to FM for example, and want to ad a station im memory, you must find an empty preset and count up to 19 possible presets to enter your station. you can't use the same position in memory for both AM/FM/TV stations respectively. the radio itself is quite sensitive though. I would find some kind of Sony radio because separate buttons are used for presets and in most cases all that is needed is to hold the button of your choice in for about five seconds to program the preset. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 6:46 AM Subject: Re: the sangean 200 v radio I think you're asking about Sangean's pocket radio. If so, I have two reservations. First, I don't find the sound quality on the 200V nearly as good as that of the Sangean 220V, which is only slightly larger and not much more expensive. The second is that if you're interested in either radio's TV band, it will cease to work this coming February, when TV stations switch from analog to digital. Here's a description I copied about the Sangean 220V model from the C. Crane website a year or two ago: Sangean DT220V AM FM TV Digital Pocket Radio Sangean DT220V AM FM TV Digital Pocket RadioA mighty pocket radio. The Sangean DT220V has the versatility of a larger portable radio, but the convenience of a pocketsize. Slightly larger than other pocket radios, the DT220V features digital tuning, built-in-retractable-earbuds and separate headphone jack, 30 presets, a backlight, a clock, an alarm, and a 1.5-inch internal speaker with exceptionally clear audio. AM reception is very close to that of the DT200V, with very good FM-stereo reception, and TV audio 2-13. It's the kind of radio that becomes a dependable buddy. Includes carrying case. Uses 2 "AA" batteries. 90-day warranty. Weight: 7.3 ozs. Size: 4.9" W x 3" H x 1" D. Item # 220 $79.95 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio" <Pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 1:03 AM Subject: the sangean 200 v radio Hi has anyone hear used or looked at the sangean 200 v radio and if so what are your thoughts of it?
