- The portable Sangean DT-400W makes a great AM FM Stereo Public Alert Pocket Radio. The Evening reception is wonderful! No interference from the Display, and distant stations are plentiful. The sensitivity and selectivity is rock solid.

Overall, I recommend this radio if you can find it. The LCD Display is extremely easy to read, tuning is a breeze, and reception is Tops! If you can not find it the DT-200X is a great, low cost alternative.

I just purchased this radio from a friend today for $25, it’s in great shape. I have always wanted own this radio, after watching your reviews. I’m glad I bought it, it has fantastic reception on both bands and weather band is always a plus. It’s almost a perfect pocket radio, great for walking. This is my 3rd Sangean, they are great radios. Now I need the DT-200X :). Thanks always for the reviews and making your channel FUN.
My gold standard radio. Yes, it is still sold, though a bit more expensive on EBAY at times. I have two of them, and will buy another one for future use. Great on FM and AM, with several Weather channels audible. Tried DT-800, great on FM yet some internal noise on AM at times. Overall, the DT-800 is good and interesting radio. Oh, love those Canadian stations. Visited CJBC 860 in 1979. Thank you for your reviews and band scans. Good health, success and good listening in 2021.
Have a great new year Todderbert,love your style of vids,brilliant work,all the best.Siôn and Laura,North Wales,U.K.
Thank you Sion.
I love how the yellow Sangean radios look!
@@ernielabarr646 Yellow Radios Rock!
I'm really enjoying the videos, such a great selection or radios. Recently ordered a PL-330 though I now think I should have gone for the XHdata D-808. I'll see how I feel when I get it.
This would be my camping/hiking radio for its features, rugged build and performance. I've done a thorough 'backyard' reception test. It is basically the best pocket portable in my current collection. It was purchased as a 'refurbished' online for $37.95.
Why refurbished? It will get "beat up" a lot quicker than my pampered home radios. Absolutely no complaints.
I have this radio and use it at night when I’m trying to fall asleep. It’s very easy to use in the dark.
Some chuffing on adjacent AM, still my favourite radio. Yes, as of 12/25/2022, still on the market (especially on EBAY for about $80 to $120).
Excelente. Rádio🔝
Todderbert? On Wednesday morning when they test the weather radio EAS can you record it while you listening to the radio to see that it interrupts the band that you listening to? Thanks. And Happy New Year to you!
Recently acquired the red version of this radio, it's a great little radio but my CC Pocket is still the best IMHO...
CC POCKET has Japanese FM band if AM tuning step set to 9 kHz
have you ever thought about doing asmr broadcasts too ? its the new thing you have deffinatley got the voice for it.. i watch your vids in bed and your voice allways knocks me out. thanks keep em coming Jess England U.K x
I have the C.Crane.
This is on my “Short” Want List.
Just can’t beat the high level of quality on these radios.
(( as for me, I’ll pass on the Coast-To-Coast show. Too silly for me🤪)).
It’s a shame about the DT-800. I hope they fix it.
Great bandscan ,as usual.
📻🙂
Nice review.
Is the weather automatic to your location?
You prefer this to the DT200X?
Can it stand on its end? Thanks 🙏
It can not stand. I like the DT200X. But recently the DT400W is around the same price, so I would pick this one one up instead. My comparison video of the CC Pocket vs. Sangean DT-400W: czcams.com/video/BqMO7HlpUoM/video.html
@@todderbert Thank you.
if weather alert is important to you...keep in mind that the c.crane pocket radio will not allow you to receive alerts if you are listening to the radio..sounds crazy but true...that is a liability in my opinion...The DT400w will send the alerts while you are listening to the am/fm.
my grandpa worked for 1420 in the 30's ...he hired Ronal Reagan to do sports ! haha...
I have a movie from 1937. Ronald Reagan
“Love Is On The Air “
A Thriller, with some nice comedic and Romantic relief. A Radio Newscaster ( Reagan) attempts to uncover the political corruption connected to a local mob gang. Actually a great little movie. Very well done.
📻🙂
This DT400 and the DT200 are great Radio's, so is the CC Pocket and Skywave ssb. I think that ALL Emergency radios should/MUST have a external Antenna Jack to be able to plug a External Antenna into the Headphone jack for Much better reception is great dual function. an Emergency Radio and No plug external antenna? other MFR's missed the boat on that feature, sure a Clip on 20 foot wire antenna works, but now a days even a external MW/AM and fm/sw External antenna's plug into same jack.
i have two of these radios and both have a lot of static when adjusting the volume. is there anything to fix this? would make a great video (hint hint)
Buy a can of Deoxit and spray into volume control. Then move volume knob back and forth about a dozen times. The static will disappear.
DT-400 can be switched to the international MW tuning steps of 9 khz, 531-1602 ( or 1611 khz ). Push the down tuning button and power switch. Push up for 10 khz. Ditto for DT-800, DT-200 and DT-110. DT-110 can tune 522-1710 khz in 9 khz tuning steps, nice little radio.
522 - 1629 kHz if 9 kHz tuning stepos for Sangean DT400W. AM expanded band up to 1629 kHz.
In Europe and Asia they use 9 khz steps, with all numbers reduced and totalling 9. LW has a variation on steps to 3 khz.
I have a couple questions which pocket radio would you say to get the C Crane Pocket Radio or the Sangean DT400 I have the DT800 And I hardly get reception from fm or an
The DT-400W is the one to pick atm. The CC Pocket is going through some changes, which is causing audible hiss on headphones. They know about it, and are addressing it. Not sure how long till it will be fixed.
@@todderbert Thank you
Darn, there’s no more Red ones!
Perhaps you have an explanation for this. I was just looking on Amazon at this particular radio and there are others that are almost the same but don’t have the weather alert written on the front of the radio. Also the one you are showing in this video is about $49 and the other ones which seem to be the same radio are about $77. I’m wondering if one or the others are the newer or later models? I realize different sellers post different prices but for such a substantial increase I’m wondering if there is a substantial difference as well? If you get a chance to check this out please let me know. Thanks 😊
If it is the Black model , it is the DT-200X , does not have Public/Weather Alerts. If it is yellow or red and is a Sangean DT400W it is a weather radio.
@@todderbert yup it’s the yellow. One yellow 400DT has public alert on front with squiggly line. Other yellow DT400’s don’t have that?
@@onedirection3510 The older ones, I think said Weather Alert.
@@todderbert interesting. Those are the ones on sale. I wonder if any of the cons you mentioned in your review have been remedied. 🤔
C. Cranes version is similar to the 800 by Sangean. The real difference is sensitivity. C.Crane hands down and the 400 is my choice for Sangean.
On occasion I can pick up London on the MW 3600 miles and sometimes Havana Cuba approximately 1300 miles from S.E. PA or Phila.😊
On the C Crane Or the Sangean
@@BrandonJamesr94
On the Sangean. C.Crane’s receivers would do as well as Sangean. I just have not thought to DX with C. Crane’s eqiupment. I know by daytime reception C. Crane would do just as well.
@@unclegator thank you
مرحبا عندي مثل هذا الجهاز ولكني لااستطيع التحويل الى نظام ٩في موجة am
تقدر عادى كان عندى وظبط معايا بس نسيت الطريقه لانى بعت الجهاز
👍
Europa 585 am yes
Sangean is from Taiwan, not China (however, China would argue that Taiwan belongs to China).
The Radio is manufactured in China, by Sangean of Taiwan.
ارجو المساعده
Sounds like it gets a lot of noise
Someone would have shot a Sasquatch by now if they existed
