Hi Thomas,<\/p>\n

I hope you are fine! I just bought a Sangean ATS-909X2 despite of the mixed reviews it earned in the beginning. There are a lot of reviews as on SWLING and other sources. But I think no newer models have been reviewed.<\/p>\n

Mine is build in May 2022 and has a firmware version 078. This is quite ahead of the reviewed versions with 073. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information throughout the net, what changes where made since the version 073.<\/p>\n

I just have the radio for one day, but for example the noise when touching the display is gone and I found no birdies so far. The SSB is still low concerning the audio level compared to AM but the SSB sounds much better as on my Tecsun 501x I had once.<\/p>\n

As of now, I am really happy with this rig, and if current production line and firmware fixed some issues of the older one\u2019s I guess this should be known since there may be folks interested in the radio which do hesitate to buy one because of the probably outdated reviews.<\/p>\n

Do you know a source, where a firmware update log could be found? I just found this:
\nhttps:\/\/www.qsl.net\/n9ewo\/ats909x2_firmware_log.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

But this one ends with version 073.<\/p>\n

Would you mind to post this question on the blog?
\nIf you need more infos please let me know.<\/p>\n

Best regards and 73,
\nUli
\nDK5ZU<\/p>\n

Post<\/em> readers: If you can share a link to firmware revision logs or any information regarding the latest firmware updates for the ATS-909X2, please comment!<\/strong><\/p>\n
