The new Sangean WR-8/WR-9 Compact Radios are interesting and innovative new models which fill a niche few other radios fulfill. For several years I have used a few of their earlier (and still available WR-7 series radios around the house, but these new models represent real upgrades in several ways. Other than styling differences these two units share seemingly identical performance except that the WR-9 has a unique AM internal antenna which offers the unusual ability to be used either horizontally or vertically. I have always been impressed by Sangean’s radios…they seem to be of the highest quality and workmanship and the new WR-8/EWR-9 continue that tradition.
