0ur opinion: :The Sangean Model DT-400W is the last pocket radio you will ever need to buy. lt has about everything you could want, and then some, in a small, pocket sized portable radio. As an example the new N0AA Weather Alert Emergency Channel sounds a very loud audible tone when an extreme weather condition is imminent and/or a police emergency or a child abduction has occurred or any type of public awareness becomes critical. Even with your radio off or you are listening to another station the weather alert monitor continues to monitor the N0AA channels should an emergency arise. To conserve battery life the DT-400W provides an option to select the time you would like the N0AA alert to be active and a small LED alert flashes to remind you that the alert is on. ln addition to emergencies the 7 N0AA channels provide up to date general weather information useful if youre planning a trip or just a picnic for the weekend. The large backlit LCD display clearly displays the time, station, battery life indication, alert indication and all other pertinent information. Advanced PLL Synthesized Digital Receiver provides drift free AM/FM reception. Deep Bass Boost adds to your stereo musical listening pleasure and 19 random preset selections lets you mix AM/FM stations with immediate access through the My Favorites button. 0ther features include Lock Switch to prevent accidental set-up changes, optional 90 minute auto shutoff, built-in speaker, auto station seek and a removable belt clip.

* This Is the State of the Art in Pocket Radios ...
I've been fascinated by small transistor radios ever since I received my first one in 1960. It was AM only, had a long telescopic antenna, two transistors, and cost the equivalent of more than $100. today! Did I mention it ate expensive 9 volt batteries in little more than an hour and was so poorly constructed it only lasted a couple months even with fanatical care? LOL.
How times have changed; this radio is a delight to use--as simple as it gets--and performance is on par with anything on the market that will receive AM and FM without an external antenna (FM and NOAA works best with the shorter earphone wires). AM performance in particular is brilliant with exceptional stability sensitivity and selectivity. I get usable signals from all over the eastern half of the country at night--even one up in Toronto, Canada! FM performance is more in line with fine stereo reproduction including somewhat wider than necessary selectivity and fairly easy overload by strong local signals but still as good as all but a dedicated FM tuner. The seven NOAA channels are the perfect replacement for the TV band included in the previous model and the emergency auto alert function can be tested at noon every Wednesday when a test signal is sent out.
Construction and form factor is excellent as expected from Sangean. The only thing I'd change is to have FM tune (both manually and with auto scan) to odd numbered frequencies only as that is where the channels are centered; also an alarm clock function would have been nice. Otherwise this is as good as you'll likely ever find in a pocket radio at any price.

Great Little Radio
This is one of the best little pocket radio's I have ever owned. About the size of a deck of cards, and with a good set of ear phones it sounds really great. Reception is good here in LA, but we have allot of local stations and am not sure how it'll work on weak signals.
I consider this radio a little on the expensive side, but is made well and should last a long time. The small speaker works, but does not sound very good. So if you plan on using the speaker rather than ear buddies. Pass this little jewel over, but if planning on using ear phones, this is the one to buy.

Almost Perfect
If this was my first radio, I would have given it five stars, however, this is NOT my first portable radio, five stars implied perfect. This radio is a great radio but not perfect. The missing star is for two minor thing. Number one.. the speaker (volume not high enough and can get lost in some noise. Number 2... lack of telescoping antenna for FM reception. For someone who never had a pocket radio, the externals speaker might sound just fine. But since I had grundig 300 to compare it to, the external speaker on grundig 300 is far more superior than the external speaker of the Sangean DT-400 of the same size(probably 3-4 times louder). But the grundig 300 has it own flaws also. eg no preset button and the stations drifts. Otherwise the Sangean DT-400W is a good personal radio. $50 that can last a long time. Note: that is how much we spend on filling up our cars that barely last a week.
