Sangean ATS-909X2 Radio & C.Crane Twin Coil Evening MW

The Sangean ATS-909X2 AM FM LW Shortwave SSB AIR Band Portable Radio had many improvements over its predecessor. Expect Excellent FM, AIR, Shortwave, and MW reception with the on board antennas. The Auto Bandwidth control is handy on some signals that fade in, and out slowly. During this Evening Medium Wave Band Scan, I showcase the use of the C.Crane Twin Coil Antenna System attached Directly to the Receiver. Awesome Results!

Overall, this is a wonderful receiver if yours does not ship with spurious tones. Of course adding external antennas will remove this. I'm a fan of the Larger LCD, Auto Bandwidth, FM, AIR Band, and the Upgraded Speaker. Rock on!

This is one of your best MW evening band scans yet, that 909X2 really becomes a DX beast with the Twin Coil. I have the same setup, one of my favorite combinations. Thanks Todd!

[@normanhill535]

Thank you. 1610 to 1710 khz is usually 10000 watts day and 1000 watts at night. CHHA is 6800 watts at night, under Canadian rules.

Hej Todderbert thanks for the interesting bandscan take care and have nice fredag.

[@ScannerJunkie]

I am going to get one of these radios and that antenna.

[@johnwagner800]

Todd, On one of your first demonstrations of this radio, you stated that you would be returning it. I'm guessing Amazon gave you a problem with the return. Is that what happened?

[@alexk8640]

Love your channel, great reviews! I had the low volume issue on SSB. I added an MLA30+ and with the added signal strength, the problem went away. I'm thinking weak signal strength may be the issue??

[@todderbert]

That is my findings. Still wish we had bandwidth options while in SSB mode.

[@huntercarver1851]

Have you tried the twin coil out on the PL-330?

[@todderbert]

I'm planning to do that soon :)

[@hunt555fish]

What is the twin coil you refer to?Also what is its purpose?what is it connected to.Good video.Did you say the tensun is better for SSB?

[@todderbert]

The Twin Coil Antenna System: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-XeqGXq95mj6M I prefer the older 909X or a Tecsun PL-880 for a Shortwave SSB portable.

[@hunt555fish]

@@todderbert Thanks for all the info again.

[@gbtriumph3216]

@@todderbert the 909X SUPPOSEDLY had this manufactured "SSB low volume" issue FIRST! how does that make it preferable?

[@todderbert]

@@gbtriumph3216 Bandwidth filters on SSB is nice for one. I don't recall ever encountering this low volume SSB on the 909X I own.

[@user-re9rd3iz5d]

Hello my friend, I want to ask you if this radio is worth buying and does it sound beautiful

[@todderbert]

Excellent on FM/AIR/SW/MW. The speaker audio is good.

[@DIlic-iz9tx]

The Sangean ATS 909X2 has a very poor signal booster on the MW band.

[@gbtriumph3216]

I have not had any problems. Is it too difficult to attach an amplified speaker to the output jack? What percentage of purchasers actually use SSB for listening only? How many of those people cannot turn the volume knob up?
