The Sangean ATS-909X2 is a portable multi-band receiver covering FM, SW, MW, LW and Air band. It is the second generation of the ATS-909X, with improvements to functionality and refinements to the original's features.
It uses a 5-level auto bandwidth control that picks the bandwidth according to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This keeps sound quality high while still allowing weaker signals to be received. The bandwidth can also be adjusted manually.
Tuning options include direct frequency entry, auto scanning, manual tuning, memory recall and rotary tuning. Fine tuning and quick shift controls are included. A squelch function sets the receiving threshold to cut weak transmissions. SSB reception (USB/LSB) is supported.
