Description of Sangean ATS-606AP AM/FM Digital Compact Shortwave World Band Receiver
SHORT-WAVE AM/FM STEREO CONTINUOUS TUNING FOR ALL BANDS ULTRA-COMPACT & FULL-FEATURED 1 KHZ FINE TUNING 5 TUNING METHODS AUTO-TUNE SYSTEM 54 MEMORY PRESETS AUTO MEMORY SCAN DUAL TIME DISPLAY LARGE DIGITAL LCD DISPLAY DUAL ALARMS WITH ADJUSTABLE SLEEP TIMER SHORT-WAVE REEL ANTENNA INCLUDES CARRYING CASE & AC ADAPTER 3.5"H X 5.8"W X 1"DFor 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
