Re: JEEP RUBICON/SANGEAN U1 RADIO anybody have one?
I looked further into the Sangean and Brookstone. Settled on the
SANGEAN after speaking to the fine folks at Sangean. Turns out they provide Brookstone with the other entry. They recommended checking with Universal Radio and I was able to pick up a LNIB for $70.
It arrived today while I was at work. After I got some chores done I unpacked it, looked over the manual, and went out into the garage (sleeping wife + 3 kids, 12:30am). Good thing as it's quite loud and can be turned to full volume with VERY little distortion. To my somewhat abused ears, it sounds very good, nice bass to it. The big test will be when I get it to work. It figures I have a vacation day tomorrow.......
To my surprise, it's got an LED light built into the front of it. Three 5mm's behind a prism type lense. Plenty of light to move around the garage. Another nice feature is how the heavy-duty powercord winds around a spool in recessed the back and is covered by a hinged door, very neat. Also looking forward to trying out the PA system at work, got to get a mic now.
To be honest, if it doesn't cut it at work (I expect it will), I'll be real happy with it every where else. I like the simplicity of it, kind of like me.....
Thanks for the help!
