I'm looking for a portable shortwave receiver that can do a credible job of
tuning SSB on the ham bands (without an external antenna). I'm considering
the Sangean ATS909. Is this a good pick, or is there a better choice?


I bought a ATS909 and after storing it for 4 months I tried it and
found that the audio was terrible, sent to Sangean a message and
was told that the repair cost would be over $87.00.
So I would not recommend a Sangean product because they will
not stand by their product.
