## Description

Sangean ATS-405 FM-Stereo/AM/Short Wave World Band Receiver Professional Grade Digital Multi-Band World Receiver Full Shortwave 14 Meter Bands

Review: Excellent FM sensitivity/selectivity; very wide and pleasing AM audio - Excellent FM reception; great sensitivity and selectivity. I can clearly pick up a 10 watt LPFM station that is located about 17 miles away (I live about 100 feet above average terrain, so it's almost a straight shot from that transmitter to where I live). Good AM reception, but in my experience using the radio over the last few weeks, you won't be pulling in distant AM stations with clear reception. I live in a semi-rural area about 25 miles West of Portland, Ore., and all but the most powerful/close AM stations have a fair amount of static. However, this is a small radio, and it's probably unrealistic to expect any radio of this size to pull in weaker AM stations without much static. I have not tried an external AM loop antenna. The sound reproduction from this radio is amazing. Keep in mind that it's a small radio, so you won't be filling a large room with sound (but it will easily fill a bedroom, small office, master bathroom, or small garage with sound)-- the "sound reproduction" I speak of refers to the quality of the sound, not to the volume produced by the speaker. FM stations that are not over-modulated sound incredible, with clear bass, airy treble, and a warm midrange. When it comes to AM sound reproduction, it's difficult to overstate how fantastic this radio is! If you've never heard AM radio on a wideband tuner such as this, you are in for a treat! I also own a GE Superadio III, and while it probably sounds a tad wider on AM than this Sangean, in all but the most ideal circumstances, the tradeoff with the GE is that you hear monkey chatter and whistles from adjacent AM stations. There are three AM music stations I can tune in where I live, and they all sound amazing on this Sangean. The three bandwidth options, (adjustable) auto gain control, three tone settings, "fine tuning" setting, and local/DX option give you many possible configurations for tuning in and massaging the sound of AM stations. The widest bandwidth setting is listed by Sangean as being 6 KHZ, but this is somewhat misleading because in reality the audio is gently rolled off *starting* at about 6 KHZ (according to my iPhone Frequensee App), plus most AM music stations add audio pre-emphasis in this range, so in reality you are simply hearing "all of the music"; the treble is airy and delightful, and all harmonics are reproduced without audible artifacts. For those less geeky than myself, I'll simply put it this way: You'll hear all of the high notes in AM music, without that "muffled echo" sound that is so common on most modern AM tuners. I did not buy this radio for its shortwave tuner, and I really can't comment in that aspect of it. In summary, this is a great radio for personal use at home, at work, or when traveling, but is not the right radio for playing loud, boomy music-- it's simply too small to do that. FM will not disappoint, and when you have a strong signal, AM sounds absolutely incredible. Highly recommended.
Review: Good radio at the end of SWL era . - I was pleasantly surprised with all options this is compact radio offers . Gorgeous , bright display with several back light options . Easily readable with a good symbol's size . I didn't read a manual to learn how to operate the radio . Just got an idea from one review before I received a unit . Radio works good on AM and FM . It is good on SW either . I didn't compare side by side with other radios on SW . During several nights I had good reception of short wave stations from US , Cuba , Brazil , Australia . I think I get more when propagation improves . ATS-405 is prefect bedtime radio . Don't expect DX capabilities from this unit but it is decent everyday (news, talk show, music ) performer . Radio sounds very loud and clear . I got 2500 mA re-chargeable batteries to use with receiver . I use radio most of the time with power supply . Now Sangean ships radio with switching power supply instead of old transformer type . It is requirements of FCC . New power supply has 100-230 input voltage , so you can use it every where , just don't forget wall outlet adapter ($1-3) . I don't hear any interferences due to new type of power supply . My Comast modem creates more noise than any other electronic gadget . It would be the best compact SW radio on the market if it had external antenna connector and SSB option .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use its radio as a wakeup system?**
A: Yes either alarm or radio wake up. I do not have the user manual available. Two clocks I re call.

**Q: I can't get any talk on any band. What am I doing wrong? will it auto scan all bands?**
A: There are several ways to scan the bands, the easy way is to use the two buttons for reviewing up and down the band being sure you pick the bands first such as AM or FM. then let the radio go through the band and let it ID the  stations fist.  You might want to review the instructions first regarding this radio and it has so many features.  Also check that the volume is high enough .  Its a great radio but it can eat up AA batteries.

**Q: Does this radio have a socket for an external antenna?**
A: I have soldered a wire near the base of the whip antenna. Works like a charm. A good radio on my 10m wire

**Q: how long does the fully charge battery last?**
A: It really depends on brand and  capacity of the rechargeable batteries you use.  I purchased some highly rated 2800 mah rechargeable  batteries to use in the radio and I can use it between 1 and 2  hours a day for almost a week and a half, sometimes longer. If you don't use the radio that often it should retain a charge for the clock which runs continually, for much longer.  I have had mine sitting for over a month with still over half a charge whenever I went to use it.  Purchase good quality, high power rechargeable batteries and  you should have good results.

### ⭐⭐⭐ While it is not a bad radio, nothing about it really impresses me
*by G***) on August 4, 2015*

While it is not a bad radio, nothing about it really impresses me. On weak signals on any band, there is a strong hiss that can't be eliminated by the 3 position tone control. It does *not* have RDS on FM to show station ID, song title, & artist, even though most stations in metro areas are offering this. There is no longwave, VHF air, weather, single sideband or synchronous detection. FM sensitivity to weak signals is worse than some under $100 portables, as is medium wave (AM BCB). It does sound pretty good on most medium to strong signals, with somewhat more volume available. FM wide/narrow is a gimmick, as it is still less selective on FM than most DSP radios with only 1 FM selectivity. Sangean chose to not provide an external antenna jack for any band, though you could clip a short wire to telescoping antenna for shortwave, using an alligator clip. Shortwave signals are often very weak, so a wire clipped onto telescoping antenna is often needed. To get to some functions, one must press 2-3 buttons in order. I still can't figure out how to set the clock, as manual is not always clear.
