User questions & answers

Question: Are the menus and/or station numbers spoken
Answer: No. Menus do not speak. After menu button is pressed, station knob allows access to menu items.Doesn't appear accessible for a person who is blind.
Question: Does this have wake-up to radio or beeper alarm
Answer: The alarm can be set to "Buzzer" (series of beeps) or to a radio frequency (HD stations will default to HD1 - there does not appear to be a way to set the alarm to HD2 or HD3). There are two alarms. The alarm volume starts low and then increases.
Question: Why are there only two photos of the radio? I want to see more of the radio. Show the power cord connection and the input/output jacks
Answer: Look on the Sangean web site for a 360 degree view of this and other radios. The user manual is also available for download.
Question: What size AM ferrite antenna does this radio have inside? Is it 8" like some of their other models
Answer: Yes, the built in FERRITE antenna is 8 inches long. with 2 windings wrapped 180 degrees out of phase-to minimise signal distortion of the digital signal. The other gentleman is correct about the FM whip antenna. Extended it is 27 inches long. It does EAT batteries! (Get a good AC adapter-not a cheap wall wart.)
Question: is this stereo has GPS included
Answer: No. There is a gps adapter you buy that will plug in. Although it does have a map overlay as well as it lets you use Waze if you plug your phone up to the supplied usb cable. So in a way it kind of does have GPS but really just because of your phone.
Question: does it come with a remote Bluetooth microphone and USB extension cord
Answer: Yes this unit comes with a Remote. It is Bluetooth capable and comes with a USB cord and wired microphone for the handsfree calling. Get with it people! Jeez no one can answer simple questions on here lol
Question: Will it work on existing back up camera
Answer: Yes
Question: Does it come with a remote
Answer: Yes it should, mine did come with a remote. I do not have steering wheel controls so i velcroed mine to steering wheel , works great lol.

Answer: You can set the volume level to your preference.
Question: compatible to pillow speaker? which one
Answer: It's possible. There is a 1/8 inch "headphone" jack on the side, but the volume adjustment is digital and the lowest setting of 1 is still loud enough that I put the instruction manual over the speaker to dampen the sound even more. I don't know how that will affect the volume through your pillow speaker.

Answer: The black version is the Sangean SG-114.
Question: How do you change stations from the preset stations you store? i don't see button as to how to switch between them

User questions & answers

Question: My family has two appartments next to each other, both separate electrical installations. Would this work if we wanted to split the internet bill
Answer: Yes the EX8000 used as a wifi extender you have the option of having a guest network. You can use same SSID name as your main router or use a different SSID altogether. I did have issues with more than one extender on the same network using same SSID name as main router so I had to change one of the extenders to a different SSID.
Question: Has anyone connected a ps4 of xbox one to the wifi from the range extender? if so, signal and game play any good
Answer: If you mean an AT&T router signal, yes. If you mean cell tower signal, then no.
Question: Does it create a new sid or does it exteneded your current sid, so one does not have to switch to differing networks when in range
Answer: the input voltage is from 100 to 240 volts
Question: I don't understand how some people give this 4-5 stars and others can't get it to work and give it 1 star
Answer: there are 4 ports. I use multiple ones as this is the only system I can find that does not change the network name but once a year I also have one break and have to replace it or hard reset it myself.
