After much research for a small radio that can receive shortwave for an extended overseas trip, I settled on the Sangean 606. I already have a Sony SW7600GR (standard in the industry IMO) but wanted something smaller and less valuable (the Sangean is about 1/2 the size as the Sony). from Amazon.com I've tried a number of compact or pocket shortwave radios. The Sangean 606 is by far the best. It has all the standard Sangean features - a digital clock, automatic radio turn off after 60, 45, 30, or 15 minutes, radio and beeper alarms, fine tuning, scanning, automatic tuning, a tuning light, a faintly lighted display window, and a shortwave frequency range of 1.711 MHz to 29.999. from Amazon.com Both receivers offer excellent AM FM and Shortwave performance, including STEREO to earphones. The choice between the two radios hinges on features, price and desire for ease of use. Sangean offers Long wave reception, Kaito does not. Kaito has Single sideband mode (for Hams), Sangean does not. from Amazon.com has too much override; where you hear the same station on adjacent frequencies. Unless it's a very strong station, you have to tune away from the nearby station to get anything. Sangean could've done better. from Amazon.com I have travelled on motorcycle through 14 States including western Cananda and Alaska and have used the Sangean ATS-606AP radio extensively. This is a great radio for travel and fits perfectly in my saddlebags. from Amazon.com I have owned this particular model of Sangean, as well as several others, for a number of years. Sangean radios, in my experience, have excellent sound (for their size), have great reception, and are quite easy to use.

I listen to classical music, international news, and domestic news while at my home in radio/tv/cellphone no-mans land.

from Amazon.com I live in city of St. Petersburg where the location of radio stations not that much far from me. And here is the PRO and CONS of this Sangean ATS-606AP:

PROS: - Good designed pocket size radio

from Amazon.com The Sangean ATS 606AP is a nice little radio for the money. I find it particularly useful for listening in bed. from Amazon.com I recently purchased the Sangean ATS 606AP and have been very pleased with the quality. I live an area with fair to poor radio reception but the Sangean ATS 606AP has providen very reliable reception on AM, FM and shortwave stations. from Amazon.com I live in the California central valley between Fresno and Bakersfield, the radio reception here is horrible and I like to go to sleep with the radio on and ear plugs in. With my Sony I could get fair Am/Fm and SW. With the Sangean I get great Am/Fm and SW. I get stations on the Sangean that were nothing but static on the Sony. from Amazon.com
