Pocket Radio
I purchased this radio for listening to TV audio. I enjoy listening to TV news in the morning and evening. Warning! Effective February 2009 all TV analog transmission will stop. Only digital TV transmission will be available. No more analog TV audio. What a disappointment. If TV audio is not important to you the radio is great. I enjoyed listening to AM/FM radio. The radio is made of good plastic material. Battery life is better than previous Sangean models.
Pro: Nice small radio
Con: No digital TV Tuner
Good radio
I bought my DT200VX to use during my long van pool commute when I could not hear the van's radio. The DT200VX isn't as sensitive as I had expected, but probably not unexpected, given the strength of the stations and the fact that I'm picking them up from inside the van. Other similar radios are probably no better. Sensitivity is much better around the house. Controls are easy to use once I became familiar with them. Ear phones give good quality sound. All in all, it does what I want and I recommend it.
Sangean pocket radio
The Sangeon Pocket radio is one of the better pocket radios that I have used. I made the mistake of putting a magnetically sensitive transit pass in my pocket when the radio was turned off and the transit pass still demagnitized. (My fault and not the radio)
Sangean DT200VX shirt-pocket radio
Sophisticated shirt pocket radio for personal listening. Small speaker does NOT have "room-filling sound." AM &FM reception very good. Good adjacent-signal rejection. Serves purpose well when it is not possible to listen to a table-top radio, or sound system.
Sangean Radio
This is our second Sangean pocket radio, the first one lasted 6-7 years before the battery compartment wiring corroded from a leaking battery. This new unit features new features, like the backlight and more memory, than the previous DT100 model. It should hopefully last as long as the last one. The only concern is the switch to Digital TV in February, I imagine we will lose the TV reception. That is too bad, as my wife uses it to listen to Letterman and the late shows with a pillow speaker. I dropped a star (4 out of 5) due to Sangean not addressing this issue which is scheduled in just three months.
