Does anyone remember the old Sangean 818CS radios? AM/FM/SW/LW SSB, etc. and the external antenna input?

If so what is the modern equivalent? Obviously without the CS (Cassette part)

Does the Sangean ATS-909X BK AM/FM/LW/SW World Band Receiver have an external antenna input? Anyone?

does it come with the reel antenna?
Answer:Hi.
Yes the Sangean ATX-909 comes with a rollup antenna 23 feet (7m) long.
This rollup antenna is quite handy and plugs into the Radio’s antenna input.… see more

My radio came with a reel antenna that had a plug end which is inserted into a jack on the side of the radio.
It is approximately 23 feet long and winds into a disc type magazine for storage.

yes. it comes with a reel antenna that is about 30 feet long.

My Sangean ATS-909X came with the Sangean ANT-60 already packed in the factory sealed box. If you buy the 909X new there is absolutely no need to order the ANT-60 separately unless you want a spare ANT-60.

It actually did, but I haven’t used it yet.

I don’t know a lot about the Sangean ATS-909X receiver, but here is the web site. Based on the short video, there is an external antenna jack, but I don’t know what kind of connecter it uses (proprietary or common). At those really lower frequencies, the wavelength is quite long so for that, the longer the antenna, the better.

I am anyone Ymani! I just fished out my Sangean 909. It’s old but I never really got it to work - my ignorance. Yes it has a external coiled up antenna plus the built in pull out one.
I should really learn how to use it.

In my attempt to find out what the heck a Sangean was, I ended up on YouTube. Among a bunch of Sangean videos, up popped a video of a 1965 Chuck Berry concert on Belgium TV:

You never know what you might find on the internet.
