I have one - use it for testing sound systems at the local University using it

Not for DXing.

[IRCA] Sangean DT-400w

[Mike Pietruk]

I've been a longtime fan of the Sangean DT-400W for its excellent AM, FM 
and WX reception, sensitivity, selectivity and image rejection.
I just got another one -- haven't purchased one for a couple of years or 
so I am comparing it  with the 2 others that I own that are in working 
order.
Very disappointing as it seems that while image rejection is further 
improved, it is at the expense of other things.
Has the design changed, is there a switch I need to turn on or off, or did 
I just get a defective unit that needs to be replaced?
Thanks for any guidance.




Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be grateful. Conceit is
self-given;

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do about it. I did buy her

[Russ Johnson]

I like that strategy."I don't know how it got into my cart?" : )

I have the earlier version of the radio DT-200V.  It is a great little
radio.  It is the only one I have where I can sometimes totally null out my
local pest.  It's my favorite hand-held/ultralight.

My take away from the dxer.ca review is that it is sensitive but not too
selective.

Still, if it is from your lady, I would keep it (as Curtis S.
mentioned).

 So-o-o-o... it's my Birthday today and (Oh...don't worry about
passing along any Birthday greetings) I open up the present from my
Wife, and it turns out to be a SANGEAN DT-400W that she got from the

put it there. Neither did I. I don't know a lot about this radio, but
she said she could easily send it back if I don't want it. I haven't
opened it up yet and I wanted some input before I do. Is it worth
keeping? I know that's open for debate, but I thought I would just throw
the question out there just like that. Should I have her send it back
for something similar? I already have a G8. Do I need something from
TECSUN or the like? I have no idea what she paid for it, so if there are
any suggestions to be had, please keep it in a similar price range.
