Red Wave Radio

Just wonderin' if anyone has had the chance to play with the
Sangean ATS909. I wonder if it will follow in the path of past
Sangean Radios that are ok but not Great...From what I have seen,
It has everything but some form of Sync. detect. If anybody hears
anything, Please let me know...
Thanx,

The ad for this radio in Pop Communication says it st SSB capable, but
I could not tell if it has a sync detector.

I was hoping for a decent replacement for my 803a, but the dimensions of
the new one, 8.5 x 6 I think, are too small. The 803 sounds tinny enough
without the audio becoming (presumably) even worse.
        Better start saving for that Grundig 700...

The latest Universal Radio catalog just says it has wide-narrow filtering and
SSB in 40khz steps using fine tuning but no mention of sync detecting.

I did see a newer ad which said USB/LSB SSB select. Still don't know
if that means a sync detector.

I've seen large speakers with bad sound, and some small speakers with
good sound, so I would decide after hearing the radio, not just by the
size of the radio.

No sync detector on the 909.

That's just a switch to select between USB and LSB.
