Review: Nice fm radio - I recently purchased this FM radio, and I’m truly impressed! It’s just as beautiful as it looks in the picture—sleek, stylish, and compact. The sound quality is incredibly clear, and the overall build feels premium. It’s definitely one of the best radios I’ve ever owned. A top-notch brand I highly recommend
Review: Great Pocket Radio - I hesitated somewhat in buying this radio because of its size, so I made a 3 dimensional template and happily, it ended up smaller. It is exactly 4¼ inches tall x 2 3/8 x 7/8 inches without the removable belt clip. It is only slightly larger than the DT300 model, (which has served me well - for two pocket radios, but no longer available). The rounded bottom of the DT200 does not allow it to stand, so why not lay it down at a desk? Those rounded bottom and corners are likely designed to slip easily into your pocket and not catch or create wear on the pocket fabric. I like that. The many reviews here were very helpful in deciding between various models, but I am definitely a big fan of Sangean. This will be my fourth purchase, with three of them now being pocket radios and the fourth a clock radio that I really like with the buttons for station changes instead of a dial. I am replacing the Sangean DT300 with this one because that radio no longer has a working `down' button feature. So I wonder when I will lose the `up' button and be forever stuck on the same station. The identical model radio previous to that one lost its on/off function. Now back to this DT200. Overall I am pleased with its features. The port for the L plug trailing antenna/ear buds (straight plug) is on the top of the unit - I liked the side feature slightly better so that it did not interfere as much with the volume wheel. The on/off button is at the top. The lock button is on the side - I liked the top position better so as to activate the locking feature w/o taking out of pocket. But I can live with the differences. The topside port does give a point of reference for other features on the top. If the MEMORY feature is turned off, you select the band and move through the frequencies one by one or hold down the button for the radio to select the strongest. If the MEMORY feature is turned ON, you scroll through whatever channels you have set one both bands. I am pleased that this radio has only the two bands and not also the weather band (which I don't use, living in sunny southwest, it is pretty much the same) or the no longer accessible analog TV band. The TV band still exists on some other models for sale here but, since the change to digital TV a couple years ago, it will no longer work no matter what you read or expect! With my DT300, I had to scroll through 3 other bands to get to my band of choice. The mix of AM/FM on the DT200 favorites function is a most welcomed feature. It is no longer necessary to switch bands for favorite station presets. I was thinking that for those who bemoan the fact that they have only a few favorites and unable to delete slots; why not enter your favorites twice or to where you use up all the slots? Now, after I have set some of my favorite stations, I see that it does not scroll through any empty slots, i.e., I have selected only 7 favorites and it does not scroll though 8-19. I find that selecting and adding favorites is much more intuitive than the 300 model. It is much easier to understand these directions which may have been written by a more user friendly user than in the past! The overall reception after a few days use is definitely better out of doors and seems to be quite good. The display is a generous 1 3/8 by 5/8 inches and there is a brief back light - this may come in handy during an infrequent power outage or certainly when I'll use this radio at night. The battery life indicator is active when the radio is in use. If the lock button is ON, it will blink if you try to change the setting or turn it off. It does not lock the volume, as someone else indicated. It locks only the ON/OFF feature and the current station setting. Because of my main use out of doors, I keep the radio in a clear sandwich bag. Thus, our fine desert dust and occasional rain can affect my nice little radio a whole lot less. I am a big fan of rechargeable batteries, so always carry along a spare pair at the ready. How do I use my radio? Mainly out of doors, horseback rides, overnights, yard work and gardening, nature walks and finally as a companion for that dreaded job of cleaning the pool tile! The occasional power outage makes this a handy little radio to have while trying to get back to sleep. For the most part I do not use the supplied ear buds, but the trailing antenna instead, which by the way must be let out if you want FM reception. I am one of those folks who still likes to hear what else is going on around me in the realm of nature. For night time use, I use ear buds, but the ones I prefer are made by Phillips with a soft over the ear wing. This radio was an excellent choice and is highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it has permanent rod antenna or it's wire antenna which hangs out while listening to FM band. Thanks,**
A: The AM antenna is internal.  The FM antenna is external and it is connected to the headphone jack.  The external FM antenna is either the headphone cable (when listening to speaker or headphones) or the included cable that plugs into the headphone jack.  If nothing is plugged into the headphone jack the radio has no FM antenna. The AM antenna is a coil of wire wrapped around a ferrite core.  It has directional gain and you can sometimes improve reception by rotating the radio when listening to weak AM signals.

**Q: The AM band in my car radio no longer works.  Can I plug this into the auxiliary jack and listen to AM radio through the car?**
A: Hi Miggy,Although I don't have a jack in my car radio to try what you asked about, I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn't work. The car radio jacks are designed for MP3 players and the Sangean radio's  output should be essentially identical to that of an MP3 player. You'll need only a male/male stereo cable to make the connection. The only thing I'd be concerned about is whether the Sangean's reception inside the car is acceptable. My guess is that if you're in an urban environment and the station is a powerful one you should be OK. Amazon is excellent about returns so if you keep all the packaging you should have no problems returning the radio if reception isn't what you had hoped.

**Q: Does this have built in speakers? You can not use ear buds or head phones and you can still hear the radio?**
A: I just opened mine and am exploring it. You CAN listen to the speaker with the buds plugged in but not at the same time. There is a switch on the left side that switches between ST (stereo), MO (mono), and SP (speaker). When you switch it to SP, the earbuds turn off and the speaker turns on but the radio continues to use the wire as the antenna. If you don't want the buds plugged in, It comes with a wire that looks like an ear buds wire without the buds, that you plug in and the radio uses that as the antenna.

**Q: Does it have a lock for stations and a lock for on/off?**
A: Yes that is one of its greatest features. The lock disables everything but the volume wheel.
