Amazon.com Review For those of us who don't like to be without news and music when we travel, the Sangean ATS 606AP compact stereo receiver is the ideal companion. The unit receives AM/FM, long-wave, and shortwave signals (frequency ranges from 153 to 29,995 kHz and 87.5 to 108 MHz), and frequencies can be set either automatically or manually through the keypad. One of the things that make the ATS 606AP such a terrific travel radio is that it's adaptable for use anywhere in the world. The digital clock can be set to any two time zones, and the unit provides both an alarm and sleep timer. You can set the radio to automatically turn off so that you fall asleep to music and then later gently awaken you with news, music, or the alarm. The auto-tune feature scans all available radio frequencies and presets the stations to the strongest FM/AM or long-wave signal. An internal memory can hold up to 54 radio frequencies, saving you time searching for your favorites. You can refine the tuning with the manual control. Our reception on FM/AM bands was very good, but shortwave yielded only one interference-ridden station, and we were unable to tune in any long-wave at all. The LCD shows the current station, frequency, local time, memory location, and the status of the alarms and all other functions. A small light in the display window switches on for viewing the display in the dark. The carrying pouch is sturdy and convenient with Velcro seals, but neither the shortwave handbook nor the accompanying earphones fit properly in the case. The radio is good looking and compact in design, with a retractable antenna. It's also easy to use, but you'll probably need the handbook to set your preferred stations and use the more advanced functions. Overall, the ATS 606AP is a portable clock radio (just under 6 by 3.5 inches and weighing only 1 pound) with a great deal of appeal. The radio includes a multivoltage AC adapter and a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. --David Greenberger Pros: Classic transistor radio design Compact and packable Powerful reception on AM and FM Cons: Carry case doesn't hold handbook or accessories Display is unreadable at certain angles The Sangean ATS-606AP compact stereo receiver receives AM, FM, longwave, and shortwave signals (frequency ranges from 153 to 29,995 kHz and 87.5 to 108 MHz) and comes with a multivoltage AC adapter.

Small Wonder By Andrew Hildreth I've been listening to shortwave (or world band, as it's called now) for about 15 years, and am awash in multi-band radios. After some friends decided that there was room for just ONE more, I received the Sangean 606AP as a gift, and have been thanking them ever since. Like everything else, the Sangean has it's good and bad points. It's compact size is just right for the pocket on the motorcycle jacket. The audio quality, although non-adjustable, is very easy to listen to for extended periods of time, and greatly improves with a pair of stereo headphones. The F.M. band displays excellent stereo characteristics, and the sensitivity means capturing stations 75+ miles away is a common occurence. The mediumwave (A.M.) band is a little above average, with great daytime reception, and nighttime listening being almost too good - dozens of stations all coming in at once. Detuning the frequency by +1/-1 khz can usually help. I was blown away by the shortwave performance on a radio this size, and using the power adapter over the batteries, the performance increases greatly. The major stations sound like they are broadcasting from up the street, and sometimes I have to lower the antenna or toggle the local/DX switch to avoid overloading. Smaller stations can be called up quite well, and tuning up or down by 1 khz can help to remove some interference from nearby signals. A wide/narrow setting would be a great addition, as would SSB for grabbing some utility frequencies, but the plusses like low power consumption with a 9 step battery indicator, lighted display, dozens of easy-to-use presets,2 clocks, travel lock, +5/+1 tuning, and a nice travel case, make this a GREAT radio for globetrotting, or having the world on your nightstand. I highly recommend this radio to anyone wanting to fish into the fray of world band radio and come up with an excellent catch. 52 of 53 people found the following review helpful. It's a Miracle By A Customer All I wanted was a nice small radio with some presets. I hate manually adjusting my radio between the stations that I like to listen to. I was willing to sacrifice the quality of sound for a radio that was easy to use and jump between stations like I do with the radio in my truck. I decided to plug-in my expensive Sony headphones and switch to FM stereo. I couldn't believe how good this little radio sounded. I decided to take this radio to work and give it a real test. I took it into the server room at my company. It is in a double locked room far away from any windows. This room is full of servers, switches, routers, phone switches not to mention modems and assorted electronic devices. I listened to wonderful FM stereo for several hours jumping quickly between stations to avoid commercials and couldn't believe how loud the room was when I turned the radio off. I love to fall asleep to the radio playing but I hate to wake up at 2 a.m. with the radio blasting away. This radio lets you set it to turn itself off after playing for 60, 45, 30 or 15 minutes as well as wake you up to your favorite station. I went out and bought a bunch of rechargeable batteries in case this radio ate up batteries like my digital camera. When you turn the radio off it automatically displays the battery indicator for about 7 seconds. The battery icon showed a battery with a small dark block. At first I thought this meant it was time to change the batteries. After reading the manual the icon stays the same but the numbers underneath the icon show you how much battery life you have left. It displays the numbers 1 through 9. When it drops to 2 you should change batteries. I have used this radio for several weeks and it is still reading at 9. This radio comes with an AC adaptor that includes a European plug that will let you use it in America or Europe. If you travel to a place away from your normal listening area this
