Other new features: Air Band mode (118~137MHz). FM mode with Soft mute and RDS / RBDS decoder for PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Correct Time) codes. Manual and Automatic Bandwidth (selectivity) control. 10Hz Fine Tuning step for SSB. Larger LCD screen with dimmer LED backlight and fade IN/OUT. 1674 station Presets with 3 individual Memory Banks. Squelch function for adjusting the receiving Threshold to eliminate weak transmissions and noise. Multi-functional Menu. Information indications for SNR / RSSI.

It should be noted that the Tecsun S-2000 receiver is the version for the Asia market, with few variations, of the Satellit-750 from Grundig / Eton. This last intended for Europe and North America users.
ATS-909X2 bandwidth control :
The Bandwidth Control switch allows you to choose whether the bandwidth for the various bands should be automatically set or manually set. When the switch is placed in the manual position, the Bandwidth Control button can be used to change the bandwidth on the SW, MW, LW, FM and AIR bands. A wide bandwidth can increase sound quality when receiving a strong signal, while a narrow bandwidth can make it easier to receive weak signals and overcome problems caused by interference. There are three different bandwidth settings available for the AIR and FM bands, while the SW, MW and LW bands each have five different bandwidth settings. See table.
| Bandwidth | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Widest | 110kHz | 6kHz | 4kHz | 6kHz |
| Wide | -- | 4kHz | 3kHz | -- |
| Norm | 85kHz | 3kHz | 2.5kHz | 4kHz |
| Narrow | -- | 2.5kHz | 1.8kHz | -- |
| Narrowest | 65kHz | 1.8kHz | 1kHz | 2kHz |
To use automatic bandwidth control, place the Bandwidth Control simply switch in the "Auto" position. The bandwidth will now automatically be adjusted to the best setting according to the signal to noise ratio and the radio will keep monitoring the signal to noise ratio every 300 milliseconds and adjust the bandwidth if needed.
ATS-909X2 RDS / RBDS feature :
Radio Data System (RDS) is a service that allows FM stations to broadcast additional information. The Sangean ATS-909X2 is capable of receiving RDS / RBDS signals. When receiving an FM radio station that broadcasts RDS data, the station name will be displayed in the Text display. If the RDS CT indicator is shown on the display, this means that the radio's clock has been automatically synchronized with the clock signal broadcasted by the FM radio station. This feature must be enabled (it is disabled by default) for the radio to be able to synchronize its clock using the signal. The RDS CT feature is a convenient feature that enables you to always have the correct time set when tuning in to an FM station that broadcasts an RDS CT signal.
When tuned to an FM station with RDS, additional information that is being broadcasted can be shown in the Text display by repeatedly pressing the Info button. The radio will show the following information in sequence: Preset name / Program service name / Program Type / Radio Text.
ATS-909X2 for charge batteries :
The ATS909X2 can be used to charge rechargeable Ni-Mh or Ni-Cad batteries when the radio is powered off. Before charging batteries using the ATS-909X2, please first make sure that the batteries that are being used are rechargeable NI-MH or NI-CAD batteries. The Charge indicator will blink in red when the batteries are being charged. When the batteries are fully charged, the Text display will show the message "Batt Full". Note, if any abnormalities are detected while charging batteries, the Text display will show the message "BT-X-CHECK". Where "X" represents the number of the battery that needs to be checked and / or replaced. Example, "BT-2-CHECK" means that battery 2 needs to be checked and / or replaced. Which battery corresponds to which battery number is shown both on the battery compartment cover and inside the battery compartment.
