Sangean HDR-15/DPR-64 and notes from 2019 catalogs
The Sangean HDR-15
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mike Schuster who writes:
Hi Thomas,
Sangean has quietly buried yet another AM/FM HD radio in the PDF of their US 2019 catalog [download as a PDF].
It’s the HDR-15 which appears to be a small clock radio/phone dock [photo above].
Also, in their European catalog [click here to download as PDF] they are transitioning all of the model names to a more descriptive grouping. So the SR-35 is now the “Pocket 100”, the DT-160 is now the “Pocket 160”, and the DT-800 is the “Pocket 800”.
There is also a new DAB+ portable, the DPR-64 (em … er …”Pocket 640“) whose cabinet is rounder and smaller than the DPR-65 (em … er … “Traveller 650“) whose cabinet they adapted for the American HDR-14. Wonder if there will be a forthcoming US HD-radio portable based on this cabinet design. This looks very interesting to me as a potential DAB+ travel radio, priced at about $100 and already available from several European and Australian electronics houses.
Thanks for the tip, Mike! I enjoyed checking out both the US and European catalogs. Sangean is certainly embracing DAB+ and HD Radio.
I see Sangean also includes two shortwave radios: the ATS-909X and ATS-405.
In the EU catalog, they’re referred to as the “Discover 909X” and the “Discover 405.”
