I bought the Sangean ATS 505 in Australia to use in Thailand. When I got here I opened it and found the SW did not work. The local repair shop said they could not fix it as it was poorly designed. Soon after that it did not work even for FM. It kept turning itself off. I emailed the company politely with every detail and got no reply. This company is clearly third rate.

1.0 out of 5 stars SSB does not work, September 28, 2008

This review is from: Sangean America Digital AM/FM Full Shortwave World Band Radio (Electronics)

This radio has fine reception on AM and FM; however, at this price the SSB should work too. It does not. Knowing that SSB reception can be enviroment dependent I tried several different times on several different days in city and country. I also used the attached antenna and a 23 foot external antenna. Trying to get help from Sangean is difficult and costly. They require money up front with no promise of a fix.

If you want SSB reception forget this radio.
