Product Description

Simple quality, simple to use functions, and simply great design. Keep up-todate on the latest news, weather, traffic, sports scores, & much much more with this ultra-portable pocket radio from Sangean. Weighing a mere 3.9 ounces, the DT-210 is a small PLL synthesized AM/FM stereo radio small enough to fit in a shirt or jacket pocket and powerful enough to pull in those distant AM/FM stations. A built-in speaker affords headphones-free listening, and 90-minute auto shut-off lets you fall asleep to the radio without fear ofwaking up to dead batteries. With Phase Loop Lock Digital Tuning and Sangean's traditional radio sensitivity, built-in speaker and included ear buds, you will be able to enjoy your morning jog, your short trip to the beach or other outing without missing your favorite AM/FM station if you have the DT-210 pocket radio. You get 25 memory presets (and auto scan) to help you zip right to preferred stations. The radio comes with stereo ear buds and a removable belt clip, as well as a trailing antenna. DBB (Deep Bass Boost) enhances the sonic low end, while a stereo-mono switch improves reception when needed. Measuring a mere 1.5 by 3 by 0.6 inches, the unit runs on two AAA batteries (not included). A low-battery indicator offers a helpful hint on when it's wise to carry replacements

5.0 out of 5 stars The King Of The Pocket Portables - A Classic, October 31, 2005

It is said in radio engineering circles that all possible advances in improving radio reception reached a pinnacle decades ago. As anyone who has used some of the classic radios of ages past can attest, there are burled wood, chrome, hand-wired, and even vacuum tube examples with reception and fidelity that put modern units to shame. So in the 21st century, the age of portable entertainment and miniaturization, why isn't there a pocket example of a "pinnacle of engineering" radio?

Leave it to a small overseas company barely decades old itself to create the solution. The Sangean DT series of radios have long been considered the "pocket DXers" of portable radios, DX meaning distance listening, and this most recent design ups the ante and raises the bar by lowering the weight and shrinking the size. Weighing in at slightly less than a cell phone, with dimensions on par with an iPod, it's the device of vintage performance and modern size that many serious radio listeners have... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars awesome, with one glitch, June 9, 2006
This review is from: Sangean DT-210 FM-Stereo/AM PLL Synthesized Pocket Receiver (Electronics)
I am a daily radio user, and carry this unit around with me everywhere. I listen to baseball & football games, music, talk radio, news, weather, AM & FM, you name it. I've now purchased two Sangean DT-210V's from Amazon in as many years, but the second one is currently dying the same death that ended the first one. The design is very user-friendly, and I use every feature; presets, headphone/handsfree, station scan, etc. I would put the reception this unit gets up against any other portable on the market. It's great, even in remote areas where others lose it. But the chronic problem which I thought was unique to #1 is now afflicting #2... the power button. On both units I've owned, it slowly begins to malfunction, then stops working altogether. My second one is currently in its final stages. Sangean, if you ever get a copy of this review, please redesign the on/off switch to be more durable. Maybe less plastic and more metal parts, if only at that point of contact. You have a loyal...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Robust Little Radio - No Regrets!, March 5, 2004

This review is from: Sangean DT-210 FM-Stereo/AM PLL Synthesized Pocket Receiver (Electronics)
I had my eye on this radio for a few days and purchased it when it came up as a Gold Box Special. I'm very glad I did.

This little radio does a great job, especially for AM purposes, where my favorite newsradio stations are. I had no trouble tuning in on my favorite stations (AM and FM) including one station that broadcasts from Tampa, FL that I'm able to pull in from the opposite coast. The TV does quite well, but my area only uses 3 or 4 channels within the 2 to 13 range, so I hardly use that band area.

The only surprise (for me) came with the needed use of an antenna for the FM and TV stations. Normally, the wire for the ear buds works as the antenna, but if you use the on-board speaker (which works great) you'll need to use the included antenna wire which plugs into the ear bud jack. But that's not a big overall deal.

The first day I used it I accidently dropped it on the brick floor with no ill effects. One battery popped out from the impact. It... Read more
