The review includes specifications such as power requirements of 6 Volts DC using 4 AA batteries, dimensions of 128 by 214 by 39 mm, and a weight of 840 g without batteries. It covers various frequency bands including LW from 153 to 279 kHz, MW from 520 to 1,710 kHz, SW from 1,711 to 29,999 kHz, and FM from 87.5 to 108 MHz.

The review is independent and provides technical comparisons with other Sangean models like the ATS-404 and ATS-909, highlighting differences in coverage and features.
