Very nice radio! I spent the better part of 3 years in Nurnburg in the US Army in 1977-1980. I had a Panasonic RF-7050 stereo radio 8-track player. Wish I had that now. I only listened to AFRN (Armed Forces Radio Network) as I remember. Didn’t know about DXing back then.

Kopfhörerbuchse auf der Rückseite? Glauben die Konstrukteure dieses Gerätes wirklich, dass man zum Ein- und Ausstecken des Klinkensteckers das Radio jedesmal aus dem Regal zieht und rumdreht? Das ist völlig unrealistisch...

I like that it has bass and treble adjustments. You don’t see illuminated tuning much any more. It has a nice long slide rule tuner: not bunched up like other radios. Reminds me of the old console radios. The WR-12 is my favorite of the Sangean table top radios.

i had the wfr-28 non bluetooth version. is this model exclusive to europe? i saw DAB radio and we don’t get that here in america
@dirkmuller84618 ай бұрын
Yes I think so. The Bluetooth version is kind of new here too, it came out last year with a new range of colours. DAB+ is very common in europe but not worldwide I think. The DAB+ radios used to be very expensive but they got cheaper in the last two or three years.

Will the Sangean WR-12 work with a smart plug? I like my radio to turn on early in the morning, shutting off automatically after 2 hours, then turn on again the evenings during weekdays, and different times on the weekends.
@cr49579 ай бұрын
Compared to the WR-2 model how does it sound? If I could find a walnut WR-2 model in EU I'd buy it, but now only the black model is available (wife, you know). The WR-2 has 7Watt instead of 5W and the amplifier isn't class D.

@kapoten10 ай бұрын
it's not analog tuner, it is DSP. lifetime is much less than heterodyne like sony icf-18 (~400 hours with 2 d-cells). I have also icf-19, very similar to icf-506, but with D-cells. And it works ~60 hours with 3 d-cells. So, for good sensitivity icf-506 and icf-19 are the best, but for long life it is better to choose realy analogue radio

The manual says it is SBC Codec. The display shows Trackname/Artist and you can play, pause and skip at the radio and you can control the radio volume via smartphone

It chews through batteries, I tried rechargeable batteries but it goes through those as well, I take one battery out when it's not in use and that seems to help stop the drain, DAB is a huge disappointment in this respect, unlike a trad transistor radio, it even says in the handbook to use batteries occasionally, so in essence this is a radio for the kitchen and via a mains lead. I still haven't found out what the port is for just inside the battery lid? No mention in the handbook at all!

Hola. Tengo una pregunta, la duración de las tres pilas alcalinas, a un volumen de sonido bajo o intermedio es buena la duración de las pilas? Al comprobar, que utiliza tres pilas de tamaño R6 y tener un altavoz grande, no debe de ser muy duraderas la vida útil de las tres pilas. Muchas gracias por la atención. Un Cordial saludo desde España 🇪🇸 👋
