MY SW RADIO HAS COME BACK TO LIFE!!!

Post by AIRMAN »

Hi Guys,
I previously posted about my Sangean ATS 909 which inexplicably died on me. Well today I was browsing through the operating instruction manual and saw that it had a tiny reset control in the base of the casing. To reset the microprocessor, one needed a glider clip wire to press into the tiny hole. So I gave it a go and guess what...YESSSSSS!!!! :D :D

Now its operating just fine. I'll have to find a decent SWL antenna (not a long wire) and I shall be monitoring DX globally!

It's a great unit and has tuning down to 1kHz which can resolve SSB transmissions. Other features include SW LW, MW and FM Stereo and RDS reception.

HAHAHA!!!

Reminds me of my shiny new Hard Disk Video Camera... died... just needed that little annoying, HIDDEN button to be pressed :oops: :lol: Took me months to discover it, was about to send it off for repair.

Nice work!

Haha great to hear it's working again!
