Review: Quality in a pocket radio - I had been using the Sony SRF-M37 for 6 or 7 years until I had damaged the earphone jack. I have replaced the Sony with the Sangean DT-400W and have no regrets. My experience with the FM reception on the Sangean is that it is superior to the reception on the Sony. For example, I use a whole house transmitter to broadcast a signal from my Sirius Satellite radio receiver on an FM frequency. The Sony was able to pick up that signal most of the time but there where spots in the house where it dropped the signal. So far, the Sangean is definitely picking up the signal in more spots of the house and the signal comes in much clearer than it did on the Sony. The Sangean can even pick up the whole house transmitter in the garage, which the Sony was unable to do. I also have much better reception on the Weather Band selection than I ever had on the Sony. I have not tried the weather alert function on the Sangean (which the Sony does not have). I prefer the structure of the presets function on the Sangean compared with the Sony. The Sony has 10 FM presets and 5 AM presets. However, the Sangean has 19 presets which can be used for either FM or AM, in other words you can have all 19 presets on FM, or all 19 presets on AM, or you can have a mix of any number of AM/FM presets. Also, you can cycle through the presets either forward or backwards with the arrow buttons. If you are not using all of the presets, I am using 10, the favorites button only cycles through the 10 saved stations as opposed to all 19 presets. I have a desktop radio by another manufacturer that cycles through all presets whether they have a station saved or they are empty, very annoying. One downside compared to the Sony is that the Sangean is a little bit bigger, and a little bit heavier. Partly the weight difference is due to the fact that the Sangean uses 2 AA batteries as opposed to the 1 AAA battery that the Sony uses. Another downside is that the earbuds that come with the Sangean have pretty poor audio quality. I use a $5 pair of Radio Shack buds that work great and have much better sound quality. Lastly, I spent about $20 more for the Sangean than what the Sony sells for, it is worth it because you get what you pay for. Bottom line is that I was happy with the Sony SRF-M37 but I am Excited to own the Sangean DT-400W. Also, I am glad that I took a shot on the Sangean which I had no past experience with (as opposed to going with the Sony again, which I almost did.) By the way, the back light shuts off within a few seconds after having pushed a button. It does not stay on for long, so no worries on draining the batteries. This is a quality radio made by a company whose main focus is making radios and because of that, Sangean produces a solid product.
Review: What A Wonderful Little Radio! - This cute, mustard-colored little radio is perfect! So far, it has met all my expectations. At first, I wondered why the speaker is not right in the center, but I think I understand now. You can't securely stand the radio in the vertical position (it will tip over very easily), but, as long as you're not listening with heavy headphones which pull the radio off the table, you can stand it on either side with or without the noodle antenna. On the left side, the speaker will be a little higher, and on the right side a little lower. So you can choose depending on your listening level. The controls are well placed and easy to use. With the clear instructions initially right in front of me, I had no trouble at all installing the batteries, setting the time, entering stations into memory and then recalling them with the My Favorite button. Just remember that you'll see an "M" in the display for any station you enter into memory and a "My" when you listen after pushing the My Favorite button and choosing a pre-set station with the tuning button. To leave My Favorites, just push the Band button until you are back with either the AM or FM band and no longer see "My" in the display. Whenever I pick up the radio, I always check two things: Is it set to Stereo, Mono, or Speaker? Is the Bass Boost switch on or off? Then, I adjust according to my listening plans. Once, when I forgot to check, I kept wondering why I wasn't hearing anything, then saw I had left the radio set for FM instead of Speaker. After reviewing several pocket radios, I chose this one because my past experience with Sangean radios has been positive and because audio sound is a priority for me. This little radio does not disappoint. The audio is smooth and mellow, making for very pleasant listening. The noodle antenna works well for FM stations through the speaker. Some might find its long dangle a bit awkward when traveling, but it can be wrapped around the radio or your hand. It is fine for news and talk. However, any kind of music will naturally sound much better with headphones or ear buds with the stereo and Bass Boost options. There is a 24/7 classical music station where I live, and I listen with much enjoyment through my Audio-Technica ATH-M30 headphones or my high end Sennheiser headphones. All in all, this cute radio is a delight. It sounds good, pulls in far-away stations with ease, and is simple to use. I am so glad I bought it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could anyone comment on the sound quality of the speaker on the DT-400W versus the DT-210?**
A: I have both radios and like them both.  I do think the DT 210 sounds a bit better, though shortly after I first bought it, I had to re-glue the speaker magnet.  No biggie.  The DT 210 was my first Sangean and now I have 5.  I'm a fan.

**Q: where do I buy another fm trailing antenna**
A: If you make one of your own from an old set of ear buds, make sure the wire is 36 inches or longer.  Your FM reception towards the top end of the band will suffer it it's shorter than that.  I used a speaker extension wire (male plugs on each end) of 24 inches and noticed the reception of a station at 106.1 noticeably weaker.  Changing back to a 36 inch wire fixed it.

**Q: i listen to am/talk radio---how does this work for my purposes**
A: I found this to be the best "Pocket Radio" on the market and I ONLY listedn to talk AM, NPR/PRN/RIP FM talk & entertainment.  Either on speaker or ear buds, this Sangean DT-400 Digital is that BEST that I could find that gave me everything I wanted in  listening to "Talk Radio"!!

**Q: Does this get good reception from distant radio stations? I camp in the Rockies and have a hard time pulling in radio stations at night. Thanks!!**
A: the Sangean DT400-W has very good reception in both AM and FM bands and Noaa. When I go camping or backpacking way Out in mountainous terrain, I take a 30 foot Clip on wire antenna the wire antenna comes on a handy reel, for easy extension and rolling up.  Antenna length is a function of tuning the antenna mathematically to the desired wavelength (frequency) one wants to monitor. Meaning that a long antenna such as this is mostly for enhancing reception of all transmissions hitting the antenna. 
Misunderstanding the results of these long antennas is what is causing people to say 'It doesn't help much." They do not understand that bringing in more transmissions also brings in excessive 'clutter', aka noise; and if there just isn't more to receive, they ain't gonna get it either; so they say the reception is not enhanced.
Amateur operators use wire antennas 60' (very short) to hundreds of feet. Meaning long antennas are good. So, this will also pull in distant commercial AM & FM stations - if they are there. It all boils down to what is available to receive with current atmospheric conditions. In other words, it will depend on where you are in relation to the transmitters. Might, or might not help, due to that. 
this is a nice, compact variable length antenna, or make your own antenna out of speaker wire,  etc

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not perfect
*by S***R on May 31, 2019*

Bought this for its external speaker, weather band, and AA battery power. The sound is pretty good, particularly from such s tiny speaker. The reception is good, but not any better than the little $20 radios. One real flaw bugs me- it doesn’t stand up well, so it tends to fall over when using the external speaker. And you have to have the earphones plugged in as an antenna even when using that speaker. Kind of a pain. The battery life is pretty good, and rechargeable batteries work fine. The included ear buds sound pretty good. It’s a good radio, but hard to accept it is worth the big premium over the myriad of models priced about $50 less that have 90% of the functionality of this one.
