Highly Portable
The DT-220A is a small PLL-synthesized AM/FM stereo radio that's small enough to fit in a coat pocket, and powerful enough to pull in those distant AM/FM stations. It measures a mere 4.9 by 3 by 1 inches, and weighs only 6.1 ounces, making it portable enough to take anywhere.
Big Features
You get 25 memory presets (and auto scan) to help you zip right to preferred stations. The radio comes with stereo earbuds with a built-in auto-wind stereo earphone system, plus a removable belt clip. A stereo-mono switch improves reception when needed, and the built-in speaker affords headphones-free listening.
The DT-220A features a backlit LCD display with time and a programmable alarm. The adjustable sleep timer lets you listen or sleep in comfort.
Battery Powered with Auto Shut-Off
The Sangean DT-220A runs on two AA alkaline batteries or a standard AC adapter (not included). A low-battery indicator on the LCD display offers a helpful hint on when it's wise to carry replacements. 90-minute auto shut-off lets you fall asleep to the radio without fear of waking up to dead batteries.

I purchased this radio for myself, I wanted something in the house to listen to if the power goes out...
It has an amazing sound, great reception.. I am very pleased. I live in a small village, outside of town. So very pleased with my purchase.

The holy grail of pocket radios!

Wow! This is what I have been looking for! A pocket radio with the following features: good reception, digital tuning, light, alarm, clock, presets, good speaker sound, fits in my pocket, has built in earbuds (that retract with a push of a button!), stereo FM when you use the earbuds (or your own headphones), lock switch, TV audio, built in telescoping antenna, auto turn off after 90 minutes (which you can easily cancel). This is a great radio, the best pocket radio with a built in speaker that I have seen. Sangean usually has terrible reception and their radios usually have a lot of noise between stations but this one receives and selects as well as my Sony! Definitely get this if you want apocket radio with a speaker!

Marco's Review

I have been on a quest for approximately 3 yrs. for a hand held radio with digital tuning. I also wanted one that allowed the versatility of a speaker and also headphones.The quest is over. the speaker on this radio is larger that those on other pocket Sangeans, so a little larger in size, and a lot better in sound. The FM reception is good on all stations with decent signal strength. On my favorite jazz station, a rather weak one, from a college, I must plug earphones into the jack, and it then becomes much better. Sangean has offered to send me a tailing lead antenna, at no extra charge, to remedy this problem.The radio also has a scoping antenna, which improves reception in many case, but is not even needed with stroner FM stations
Design and ease of use are excellent. You can literally hit the Band button to go from Fm to TV to Am. Presets were cake to program. With the exception of setting the alarm and the clock, most buttons have only one function. This avoids those nerve-racking instructionsi.e. hold this while pushing that, hit the button three times and then hit function twice.
All in all a beautiful find.

I Take It Everywhere

Since receiving my Sangean220V radio, I hate going anywhere without it, even into the next room! I love knowing I can flip it on to keep me company whenever I get bored or things too quiet. I don't want to damage the earbuds, so I leave them retracted and use a separate headset when I'm not using the speaker. Reception is great on this little dude, and I got an AC Adapter at Radio Shack so the radio can keep me company by playing all night. I spent some time with the manual, and as a result am able to pretty much do the controls in the dark! It does have a display light, a clock and an alarm, but I don't really use those. I just love having a little radio I can tune easily using the digital tuning, and listen to without having to plug up my ears. It's small and easy to take along. I love it, and want a spare!
