For me the most important short wave radio 📻, when I sailing ⛵️ around the world alone. Because, no internet on the open ocean far away from the coast. I really enjoyed to listen 🎶 from around the world ⛵️ 🌎 Thanks for sharing. Absolutely impressive all the radios 📻
Thanks Tom. I've enjoyed quite a few of your videos during my receiver research. I ordered the Grundig 750 as a result. It will be a while before I see it however, as the seller I ordered from has it back ordered by 4-5 weeks (had some bonus points built up with them!)
Great video Tom. Very useful. Have the 909 and saving for the 750. Actually its the Tecsun 2000 but same radio. Very helpful to compare two radios of similar price to find the good and bad points. I use my Sangean with a long wire and pick up some good signals. I want the 750 for range
Those portables do much better at certain locations. I noticed that even carrying them down a flight of stairs in the house, that the signal disappears as the whip antenna goes through the floor levels. My best indoor location is right next to the bathroom window facing southeast and the whip gets oriented towards the east-northeast. I have an ext. antenna on my Sangean ats 803A in my workshop, just a 30 ft. piece of speaker wire flung over the roof. Except at 2-4 pm, it has real good reception.
Excellent review! I have the Grundig Satellit 750 myself. But a question, what is happening with the shortwave? Even the evangelist radio are not OnAir anymore, just Radio Habana Cuba, International Radio China, Radio Rumania and the Voice of Vietnam. It's a matter of antenna? I live in a apartment at the 5th floor, any suggestion? I just use a wire attached to the radio antenna.
I have the Satellite 750 and the older version Sangean 909. I like them both but the 750 is more sensitive with SW then the 909. At least with my radios. Different production runs may yield slightly different radios. There is a guy at Kiwa.com who does performance upgrades to SW receivers. I had him trick out my 909 with new LEDs, tuner wheel tweeks, and receiver tuning. Adding a Sony speaker by a guy I met at HRO made the 909 sound sweeter than the 750 on AM and FM.
Nice video and lovley the New Sangean ATS909X you are rigth about the recepcion with the antena external any radio increases the recepcion its the best way to testing the radio sensibility ,i have tested the sony icf-sw77 and the Tecsun S-2000 same its the Grundig 750 and the sony icf-sw55 an the sony icf sw-1000T
Hello Tom, Could you let me know what antenna adapter you use for the Sangean ATS-909X? Is that the SO239-Mini (SO-239 (UHF) to 1/8 inch mini plug adapter)? If not, I like to know what the codenumber is for the adapter you use to connect your outdoor antenna to the Sangean. Thanks in advance. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Interesting test. The Sangean is evaluated while the Grundig is powered on. However, the Grundig is evaluated only when the Sangean is powered off.
Tnx for the side-by-side testing of the two radios... good video....LM
You’re a comedian Tom, after seeing “watch my finger” I’m convinced

Thank you so much for sangean company. It really good radio receiver

Very interesting tests
Toms radio room your Grundig 750 and the sangean ATS 90 9x is so awesome
Nice test, Tom. My DX-440, which was made by Sangean for Radio Shack, performs similarly with an external antenna.
The Sangean is a great receiver with external antennas. Thanks for sharing and 73
This Sangean ATS-909X, whether it's ClearMod, is an enhanced version in RadioLabs.

why do you keep turning the Sangean off but never turn the Grundig off?
