I've got the Sangean WR-2 in white. I'd like the power cord to sit flat against the back of the radio. 90% angle. How can I get that please?

looking on the back of my radio I found the answer to several questions. There is a DC plugin place which my electrician husband told me is interchangeable with the AC wall plug. You should be able to use the DC plug instead of the ac wall plug. I also saw the color coded plugins for what I presume is computer plugins. Have not researched it to find out what they are actually for. I'm happy with the wall plug and wire antenna placed by a window for reception, way out here in the country.

The cord protrudes approx. 1.5 inches straight out the back upper left side. Unless you are an engineer, this would not be possible.

I just looked at the back of my radio and the cord. The design of the cord doesn't allow it to lay flat; much like computer cords. Check to see/find an adaptor or different cord that fits and lays flat; b4 radio shack closes or perhaps Best Buy...

If you are just replacing the head ,I don't see what the problem is. If you had an antenna before it should fit fine. IF not then how about rotating it 90 degrees until it fits. DId you have an attena before?????. Mine fit fine and lays long ways on the roof front to back that is. I thought it was wrong at first but after I looked carefully it worked ok. Good Luck

There is a thin wire approximately 18 inches in length extending out the lower back of the radio. It does not seem to need to be strategically placed to get good reception. Hope this helps. I have been nothing but pleased with this radio.

You have to take it to a CB shop and have the radio converted then aligned.This radio is actually an amateur ham .

On the side of the radio there is a jack for the electrical cord. It does not come with a power cord. I use the batteries since it's a portable radio and the batteries do last a long time. If you want to use a power cord you can get one from amazon.com or ebay and you can probably find something inexpensive there. If you plan to use the radio a lot than it's worth investing for the power cord. If you plan to use it infrequent then the batteries is all you need. Hopefully this will help.

Doesn't matter where the radio is. The antenna must have access to the sky. I have mine sitting on the console with the antenna on the dash in a holder. Works pretty well most of the time.

I would do some basic trouble shooting. Verify your hot wire is hot and your ground is grounded. Also your player chassis may need to be grounded behind the dashboard. Make sure the radio faceplate is seated properly. Did you push the power button or are you trying to twist the knob to turn it on. Was your old radio working?

Don: I am not sure, but you can determine that by matching the 5v output with your requirement on the radio itself. What is the voltage on the old power cord ? If it's 5v, you are fine. Anything higher, will blow out the receiver ! Hope this helps...

You should go to the Grundig website. There may be a downloadable one. If you didn't receive one with your radio, I would ask for a replacement from the company. Rock on!

It's all in the wiring ....the antenna should go up and down when the radio is switched on and off..not if the car is on or off. If the antenna deploys when the car is on and the radio is of..it's wired wrong.

Doug, double check that the satellite plugs are inserted fully: they have unique shapes that have to be rotated to the proper orientation to fully seat. It's not readily apparent, but take a look carefully and you'll see flat edges that have to be aligned properly. Good luck!

Yes. Your best bet is to get a Diamond SRJ77CA antenna. It's about $20 - $25, but hook him up with this radio, and it's a great combo!

I don't know. Get a battery powered portable radio (no power cord---it will act as an antenna), tune it to a station with a respectable signal then wrap the radio in one of the blankets and see if it interferes significantly with the signal. If it does, then the blanket is providing some electrical shielding; if not, then it isn't any good for that and you should just use aluminum foil. We used aluminum foil and copper tape in the Air Force and it worked great. Just be sure to leave plenty of air holes.

The back end is flat. So long as you remember to swivel the power cord to the side it sits just fine.

Hi there. unfortunately that is the case with my radio as well. You are correct when off it is very hard to find the power/source button. Sorry my friend. I do appreciate you bringing that up because to be honest with you, I never really noticed that. One suggestion is maybe using the remote control???I know it is a pain in the butt to find it when u need it but maybe have it velcrod somewhere close? Good luck!Regards,Erick

Yesput a PL-259 connector on the end of the cable that will screw on the back of radio. Check Youtube for INSTALLING A PL-259 connector.
