Reddit mentions of Sangean DT-180 AM / FM Pocket Radio

I prefer the Sangean DT-180 AM/FM radio. I go to 30+ games a year. Listened to the game on the DT-180 at each one since the beginning of the 2014 season. Works beautifully. Instantaneous play-by-play. It's difficult to enjoy a game the same way without it.

Some tips using it:

• make sure to use the "lock switch" feature on the back of the radio to prevent accidentally button pressing in your pocket.
  
  
• the DT-180 has an automatic turn-off after 90 mins. It will happen at least once in a normal game. No need to worry. Just turn it back on.
  
  
• take batteries out if you know it will be a while before your next game (otherwise you'll get corrosion in the terminals). Place used batteries in small ziplock with a "used" post-it in it. If you end up with corrosion, you can easily clean it with a Qtip dabbed in vinegar.
  
  
  

Why so much focus on FM radio?

I don't think anything decent since the Zune and Cowon that's had an FM radio built in. Why not just buy another Cowon? They are still available NIB on eBay, and batteries are available all over the place.

Otherwise, just buy something like this and use whatever other PMP you want.
