Product Description: The Sangean Model DT-400W is the last pocket radio you will ever need to buy. It has about everything you could want, and then some, in a small, pocket sized portable radio. As an example the new NOAA 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 NOAA channels should an emergency arise. To conserve battery life the DT-400W provides an option to select the time you would like the NOAA alert to be active and a small LED alert flashes to remind you that the alert is on. In addition to emergencies the 7 NOAA 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. Other 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 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.

I'm not much with words. Suffice it to say that this is my 3rd Sangean radio. They are simply the best on the market. I see it will be necessary to purchase anothr one, my wife confiscated this one.

Rating: - 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 ... Read More

My wife and I have shared a DT200 for the past 6 to 8 years. it still works fine but I bought her this one for her so I can share the old one more often.

Use it when I am working outside mowing. Wear Earmufs over the radio. Like to use it when I am relaxing in the tub reading a book.
