Our take on the Sangean - The Ultimate FM / SW / MW / LW / Air / Multi-Band Receiver

The Sangean ATS-909X2 is a portable multi-band receiver covering FM, medium wave, long wave, shortwave and the aircraft band (118–137 MHz). It is the second generation of the ATS-909X, a set long respected among shortwave listeners, and adds Air band, more presets and finer tuning controls. Its 5-level auto bandwidth control picks a filter from the signal-to-noise ratio, and you can override it by hand. It suits shortwave hobbyists and travelers who want one radio for many bands; it is larger and heavier than pocket sets and costs more than basic portables, but it offers SSB, RDS and extensive memory that cheaper radios lack.

What reviewers say

Owners of the original ATS-909X rate the line highly for shortwave sensitivity and features, and the second generation is generally seen as a refinement rather than a redesign. Buyers praise the preset capacity, SSB tuning and bandwidth control; some find the interface busy and the set bulky.

What people mention
  • SensitivityPraisedOwners say weak shortwave signals come through well for a portable set.
  • SSB tuningPraisedHam listeners like the fine tuning steps and stable single sideband reception.
  • Bandwidth controlPraisedThe auto and manual bandwidth options help pull clarity out of noisy signals.
  • InterfaceMixedSome find the many buttons and menus take practice before they feel natural.
  • SizeCriticisedSome owners find it bulky and heavy next to smaller travel radios.
  • Air bandMixedAir band works, but results depend on the antenna and how close aircraft are.

About the Sangean - The Ultimate FM / SW / MW / LW / Air / Multi-Band Receiver

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.

Questions and answers

What bands does the ATS-909X2 receive?
FM, medium wave, long wave, shortwave and the aircraft band from 118 to 137 MHz. It also handles SSB in USB and LSB.
How is it different from the original ATS-909X?
It adds Air band, more presets and finer tuning controls while keeping the original's bandwidth control and SSB features. The core receiver design is a refinement, not a rebuild.
Does it have single sideband?
Yes, with USB and LSB and selectable 10 or 20 Hz fine tuning steps. That makes it usable for ham and utility stations.
How many presets does it hold?
1674 presets split across 3 memory banks. Auto tuning can fill them from LW, MW, SW and FM.
What is in the box?
The radio, a telescopic whip antenna, an AC adapter and a carry case. A separate external antenna improves shortwave and Air band reception.
Is it good for beginners?
It works out of the box, but the menus and tuning modes reward some reading. A simpler analog or basic digital portable is easier to start with.
