The batteries last a very long time. It took 7 months to drain the first set of batteries in this radio. The only thing I did was replace the batteries because at 80% of full volume there was a bit of distortion in the audio that suddenly You put on an incredible show there. It is sufficiently sensitive on FM and VHF (Weather) bands that the wire antenna to be used on these bands can be stored on the back in the compartment provided for doing so. Whether the antenna is stowed or hanging out, it picks up the same stations as it does with the antenna The internal ferrite antenna for AM reception is very useful for getting local (50 miles) stations in the morning and long-range AM signals in the evening. A station at night that offers distance services. Even those DX stations that are more difficult to hear during the night are still worth listening to.
The speaker sounds quite good, belting out more sound power than you would expect from a speaker that is probably a bit smaller than 3 inches in When I'm working in the back yard garden, I place the 202) on the patio table The mine can be heard from its perch on the master bath vanity in the back three rooms of the house. Considering its weight, this radio is better suited to resting on a shelf than to being carried. A very sturdy (heavy) plastic material is used ') case sealed everywhere with elastomer seals, and the two heavy D batteries sealed My phone will not be dropped on purpose, but I believe it would survive even if it is as heavy as it is. Despite the fact that the H-shaped distribution doesn't appear to be I have a 201 that is a battery miser, my wife has an It takes 202 around 2 weeks to go through a pair of D batteries. They may be using a poorly designed Bluetooth transceiver. As a practical matter, the H-HST14 seems to be at fault She uses the FM, WX, and Bluetooth options she can use from her smartphone since it does not affect AM listening. Although the 202 must be powered by an AC adapter (sold separately), it is so electrically noisy that listening to AM is difficult. An explanation given by Sangean for the poor performance of the AC adapter is that Greens forced them to use a switching power supply, and that may well be the case. It should be possible to fix this problem if you have the skills to locate a 3V linear wall wart and splice on the correct connector. Currently, I am not doing the Tool Man Taylor "More Power" gig on my radio because my wife does not want me to do that on her station!.
In the past two years, I've purchased two Sangean H20 radios. Bathrooms and radios are both in the same building. It is easy to use with wet hands, the batteries last a very long time, the reception is good, and it looks nice as well. There was an earlier model without the Weather Channel, and that would have received five stars, and this one has the extra channel, which is excellent. In my experience, I never take advantage of The only presets I need for FM are five.
It lasted 6 or 7 years before it broke down. The one we ordered this time was blue and we love it! do not need to use an antenna to get clear broadcasts on the radio shows we listen to. There is no better way to spend your time. There is no doubt that it is waterproof.
I replaced several $25 "water resistant " shower radios that had each broken after a couple of years with this Sangean H201. My towels have always been hung on a towel rack out of the way and rarely ever in direct contact with water while showering. It had to do with the humidity in the bathroom, as they ceased to function. Solid and well made, this radio seems to last for a long time. I like how easy it is to use and how well it sounds. There is no doubt that this will last for many years, and I wish I had purchased it sooner than I did.
The product is what is I noticed that all radios apparently require the antenna to be attached to a dangling wire. Often, this can be a nuisance. It's not too obvious how the antenna wire is wound around the radio, so I get good reception. I like how easy it is to control.
The speaker is bigger than what I'd plan to use in the shower, but it is sturdy and the sound quality is excellent. Colors are nice because it comes in a variety of shades.
It would have been better if the instructions were more specific. I am very happy with the sound quality. Do not understand why I have to unplug the computer in order to get an internet connection.
