I believe we have or had one list member who was using a Sangean product
and I think he was in the United Kingdom but wehre you are really
shouldn't be an issue here.
One of Sangean's biggest markets is Europe and Europe use either DAB or
DAB+ which the Internet radio sets sold in Australia handle so I most
likely could answer any questions you have about these radio sets.
There's at least one model of Sangean I know of which is marketed in the
U.S. and that's the WRF28 and there may be more.
The crucial thing is here to make sure that - whatever Sangean radio you
buy - is compatible with the Undok or iSangean App for IOS or Android.

Hi!
I'm not a Victor Reader Stream user and I don't use my iPhone much for
Internet radio however I believe I use a far better solution than a Victor
Reader Stream will ever be and an iPhone is part of this - or indeed an
Android phone if you'd prefer -, the phone acts as the remote control for my
Sangean Internet radios and tuners here.
Yes, variations of these are available in America.
For Australia and Europe Sangean offer Multi Band multi function Internet
radios and - in Australia at least - there are four models to choose from,
two portable units, a tabletop music system and a Hi-Fi tuner so choose the
one that reflects your needs.
In The U.S., Sangean have the WRF28 or WRF28, as far as I know those two
units are battery portable sets.
The App for Android/iPhone is very easy to use and even mirrors the display
of the radio.
All Sangean models now come with Spotify Connect and the App itself has been
updated so the user can stream an iTunes library from the phone itself to
the radio.
Naturally there are a lot more details I could give about these radios and
their setups and I really should do another Podcast on the whole subject, I
did one 3 years ago I think it was but since then the whole thing has gone
ahead in leaps and bounds.

Hi Guys,
Seeing that many of you appear to be VRS users.
I recently considered buying one rather than another mainstream
Internet radio as a preference to listening to streaming radio
stations on my I phone.
I was initially told the internet radio on the VRS was simple to use
and had
35 pre sets.
A couple of folk then said stick with your I phone for internet radio
Peoples views would be appreciated.
My main criteria is stable streaming, as an example my I phone cuts
out much more often than my static Roberts internet radio.
Where do we think the technology in the VRS sits
Thanks
Colin
