Editorial Review: Product Description: SANGEAN SG622 12-Band Compact World Band Receiver with LED 12-band, ultra-compact world band AM/FM short-wave receiver; Large, easy-to-read tuning LED; Headphone jack 12-Band Compact World Band Receiver with LED Amazon.com Review: For those who have a burgeoning interest in shortwave radio or who don't like to be without news and music when traveling, the Sangean SG-622 10-band portable receiver makes an ideal travel companion. Small enough to slip into a jacket pocket but powerful enough so you can stay in touch with the world, you'll barely need to glance at the operating instructions before you'll be up and running with this nifty little device. Solid and compact, the SG-622 includes just the essentials: a retractable antenna, volume and tuning knobs, and a wide face displaying the bands and frequencies. Tuning is accomplished by clicking a switch to the appropriate band, then dialing up or down, refining the tuning by hand as you go. The all-inclusive frequency display results in imprecise indications, so it is not possible to determine exactly which frequency you are tuning in. But our reception in all bands on any strong signal was excellent. Overall, we found this a sensitive radio with great portability that would make great introductory piece for anyone interested in shortwave radio listening. The Sangean SG-622 is powered by 3 AA batteries, but consider adding an AC adapter to reduce your battery expense. It comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Pros:

 Rating: - Nice little radio!Receives wonderfully, but cheaply made. Hope volumn knob stays on for a while. BL Rating:  - Sangean SG-622 must readBuyer beware, this radio is not the one for you. I ordered this radio thinking it would be a decent entry level shortwave radio. Upon receiveing it I immediatley sent it back. The radio was able to pick up about one or two of the major shortwave broadcasts, but the volume knob was barely hanging on and about to fall off. For nearly forty bucks you would expect a radio of little higher quality. The reception quality is about what you pay for, but the quality/crafstmenship of the radio was unbelievably ... Read More Rating:  - Sangean SG-622This is a nice, basic, FM/AM/SW receiver, with the emphasis on "basic". It's small footprint beats my old Grundig YB400, as does its requirement for only 1/2 the number of batteries (3 AAs vs. 6AAs for the Grundig), but it lacks an external antenna input, and its reception of distant regional FM radio stations is not as good as the Grundig. It was only half the cost of the Grundig, and, as in many cases, you only get what you pay for. Rating:  - Good for a blackout.We use it a few times a year when the tornados roll into town. Like it. Rating: - Another positive comment for this little radioBriefly, I have bought three of these in a row following losses. It's a great little radio. I am not a shortwave nut, but it is fun to tune around occasionally. It has good sound and doesn't consume batteries too badly. One caution, the band selecting strip on the top of the radio can pop off if you are not careful. It's not big deal to push it back on, but don't lose it or you will have trouble selecting radio frequencies. I like to take it to baseball games for announcer commentary. |
