Today, we’re highlighting three new products that make entertaining and useful additions to any home or shack:
ATS-909X2 World-Band Portable Radio
Sangean’s ATS-909X2 World-Band Portable Radio offers significant improvements in functionality while refining the excellent features of the previous ATS-909X model. It features a larger LCD screen, Air Band, a separate headphone amplifier, SSB tuning steps of 10 Hz or 20 Hz, and so much more! The newly designed smart battery system allows the radio to detect faulty batteries and locate its position in the battery compartment when plugged in for charging under standby mode.
