\"ATS-909X\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In response to a post last year<\/a> where we asked about sources of shortwave radios in New Zealand, SWLing Post<\/em> reader, James Patterson, writes:<\/p>\n

I have now found a very good importer of very good quality shortwave portable radios here in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

[T]here is an importer of the Sangean ATS 909X portable radios. He has a shop and warehouse. He imports all Sangean radio products,\u00a0is excellent to deal with and will ship them anywhere in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

I have just recently bought the ATS 909X. I must say that I did buy one off him and found the frequency band coverage on that one [unit] was very limited. [This unit] got mixed in with a batch sent to him, but was meant for a different country with government restrictions on band coverage. The\u00a0one I have now is “full band” and an excellent portable receiver in every way. I’m very pleased to be able to share this with anyone either living here in New Zealand or wanting to come here for a holiday and in need of good quality shortwave\u00a0radio with very good SSB.<\/p>\n

The importer’s internet site is : www.mayogroup.co.nz<\/a><\/p>\n

The website will give the full details and contacts of the importer,\u00a0who\u00a0is a well-known and trusted person to deal with. He does not advertise on sites like TradeMe<\/a>. However, he does deal through electronics stores such as 100% Appliances<\/a> here in NZ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks, James, for the report on\u00a0the\u00a0Mayo Group<\/a> as an importer of the Sangean ATS-909X. Very encouraging to hear as there are so few local sources of shortwave radio products in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Of course, those living in New Zealand can always purchase shortwave radios through sellers on eBay<\/a>, but delivery time may be as long as two weeks or more, depending on the parcel service chosen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
