Our take on the Sangean DT-180 AM/FM Pocket Radio

The Sangean DT-180 is a tiny AM/FM pocket radio with digital tuning, a backlit-style LCD readout and direct-recall presets. It stands out for its size and tuning aids: an RF signal strength indicator, auto search, adjustable tuning steps and a stereo/mono switch for weak FM signals. It suits news and talk listeners, walkers and anyone who wants a radio that disappears in a pocket. Against analog pocket radios it tunes more precisely and stores stations; against Bluetooth or smart radios it offers no streaming, no speaker worth using and no weather band.
