Sounds like the retractable antenna was the issue. Ive had a DT 400 for several years now. Good bug out radio.

Jim apparently that is for the DT-500... but Sangean released the DT-500W version. So it looks like they fixed whatever problems they had...

I think they are the same radio. I believe the "W" means it receives weather band as well as AM & FM.

If you read the stuff on the Universal page it shows the DT-500W in the write up. And the Universal specs page call it the DT-500W.

The specs page shows it has DSP so I wonder if it has the Silicon Labs Si4734 DSP chipset?

Like the new version of the Kaito 1103 & the County Comm GP-5/SSB have.

I saw on some web site that it would be avail. in March. But who knows where they got that info???

Jim, did you see this one?

http://www.sangean.com/products/product ... id=&f360=1

I saw it but...http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/wx/4500.html

The Sangean DT 500W is for sale now but it has horrible reviews. The DT 400W seems to be a much better radio.
