The Sangean WFR-28C receives more than 15,000 radio stations over the Internet. because it connects via the DAB+-signal, you won't be bothered by static or interference. You can easily find channels by filtering on countries, genres, and your favorite radio stations. Information about radio stations is displayed in color and in a clear way on an LCD screen. On it, you can set the sleep timer, alarms, and snooze function. Prefer to listen to your own music? Connect the WFR-28C to your computer or USB. The internal media player plays MP3 and WMA files.

The radio is excellent. FM, internet and DAB+ reception and playback are very good. Radio feels robust and sturdy. I use the line out connection for playback via the audio system. The only downside is the life of the rechargeable batteries.

Bought this radio as a replacement for my Sangean ATS500 world receiver, because the short wave has nothing to offer these days. I chose the 28-C and not the smaller 27-C because of the more extensive options, such as a line out and a USB port. Have no experience yet how this will work abroad. Probably strongly depends on the Wifi facilities at the campsites. DAB plays well outdoors in Central Limburg, indoors you have to find the right place. NPO is not broadcasting here yet. I wonder how this will be abroad. FM reception is poor, less than my previous Sangean. Sounds good for a radio of this size, and excellent with headphones. Uses a lot of power, that's why it contains (expensive, about 50 euros for 4 pieces!) rechargeable batteries of 6000mAh. The radio plays well on that for about 6 hours, which is not really much. After that, the reception is clearly less (both DAB and FM and Internet) and you have to recharge the batteries. It is strange that the clock on battery operation does not continue to run when you switch off the device. So you can't use it as an alarm clock. I find this an incomprehensible mistake by Sangean (or by Frontier Silicon, this is the manufacturer of the FS2026 module, which is the heart of the radio). The box states that the radio can also be operated via your smartphone with Android. However, I have not been able to find the necessary app for this so far. It is available for Apple stuff. The service is fair to good. It is only strange that you have to operate the equalizer via the systems menu, you would expect a somewhat shorter route there. The device is quite heavy with batteries, and the lack of a carrying handle or the like applies. like a miss. All in all a decent radio, and probably one of the best in the range of portable radios currently available with the same functionality.

I bought the Sangean WFR-28C mainly because of the DAB + and WiFi reception. The DAB + reception is fine and crystal clear. With the WiFi receiver you have access to tens of thousands of internet radio stations from all over the world. The radio is solidly built and solid. With 4 rechargeable D batteries, which can be charged in the device, you are not dependent on the mains. I really enjoy this radio that I use every day. Also nice is the iSangean app for Android and/or Apple with which you can control the radio remotely. You can also set many preset stations via the internet.
