Sangean DT-120<\/p><\/div>\n

In reply to Olivier’s post about the Sony SRF-M95<\/a>, SWling Post<\/em> contributor, Jason, notes:<\/p>\n

Another amazing AM ultra light performer, the Sangean DT-120 or DT-180<\/p>\n

I have the DT-120 in my pocket and it has got many hours of use. Travelling in outback Australia in April\/May I was very impressed with it\u2019s performance on AM.<\/p>\n

Camped at the Devils Marbels 412km north of Alice Springs, I could receive it\u2019s 783 kHz AM signal OK, weak obviously but definitely listenable. Of course the signal from Radio National at Tennant Creek on 684 AM was stronger, since it\u2019s only 100km to the north of Devils Marbles.<\/p>\n

Very happy with the little Sangean. It\u2019s by far and away the pocket radio with the best DX reception I\u2019ve ever owned, but the Tecsun R-209 and the Sangean SR-35 are probably the two best AM DX pocket radios with a speaker.<\/p>\n

One day I will pick up a Sangean DT-250, but it\u2019s probably not much better than the Sangean DT-210 I already have, which is another good choice with a speaker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for sharing your comments, Jason! And, wow, I’d love to make that camping pilgrimage to the Devil’s Marbles–sounds remote and fantastic!<\/p>\n
