Our take on the Sangean DT-800 AM/FM Weather Alert Pocket Radio

The Sangean DT-800 is a pocket-sized AM/FM/weather-band radio with a digital PLL tuner, 45 presets and a backlit LCD. Its standout feature is the NOAA weather alert: a loud tone fires when an emergency warning is issued, and you can schedule when the alert is armed to save battery. It suits campers, hikers, storm-season households and anyone who wants a small radio with real tuning rather than a phone app. Against simpler pocket radios it adds weather alerts and presets; against larger tabletop sets it trades speaker size and volume for portability, and owners say the built-in speaker is thin, so headphones matter.

The Sangean DT-800 is the last pocket radio you will ever need to buy. It has everything you could want, in a small, pocket sized portable radio.

The large backlit LCD display clearly displays the time, station, battery life indication, Alert indication and all other pertinent information. Sensitivity and selectivity is remarkable and comparable to many of the better stand alone AM/FM table top radios. Advanced PLL Synthesized digital receiver provides drift free AM/FM reception. Dynamic bass boost adds to your stereo musical listening pleasure and 45 preset (20 AM, 20 FM, 5Wx) selections lets you mix AM/FM stations with immediate access through the \"page\" Button.

Questions and answers

Does the weather alert work without headphones?
Yes. The alert tone plays through the built-in speaker, and it is loud by design. You can set a time window so the alert is only armed when you want it.
How many stations can I save?
45 presets: 20 AM, 20 FM and 5 weather channels. A page button cycles through them.
Does it play FM in stereo?
FM stereo comes through the headphone jack. The built-in speaker is mono.
What powers it?
It runs on standard batteries, and the LCD shows a battery-level indicator. The scheduled alert window helps stretch battery life.
Is it good for music or mainly talk?
Mainly talk, news and weather. Bass boost helps a little, but the small speaker suits speech better than music.
How does it compare with a tabletop radio?
Tuning sensitivity is close to good tabletop sets, but the speaker is far smaller and quieter. Pick it for portability and alerts, not room-filling sound.
