PR-D15 Digital Portable Stereo RDS Receiver Gray

I use this radio with the A/C converter to preserve the batteries. I have noticed that when you plug the radio into the wall current, it gets slightly louder and clearer, than when running on the batteries, alone. Many portable radios have poor graduation in the decibel level desired.. In order to get adequate volume, the sound becomes irritating, yet, reducing the volume by only one step, causes the sound to become too low. This radio is nicely calibrated - you can get the perfect volume and pitch, hear it way across the room, and is not at all irritating to listen to. It's even better than a CC radio I have. It seems sturdily built and is a pleasure to listen to for hours on end. *UPDATE*: I feel a responsibility to the Amazon community folks who have posted so many questions about the batteries for powering this fine radio. I called the company today and was told that that whole page in the radio's manual (page GB 8) is a misprint. The radio was never meant to accommodate AA size batteries. You can either use alkaline or rechargeable size *C* batteries (6 of them), which fit very nicely into the battery compartment. I've also heard and found that rechargeable C batteries are hard to come by. Be that as it may, I realized how long my radio has been playing on alkaline C's (still on my first set after months of almost daily use). This radio must have a very efficient power useage. Rather than hunt around for rechargeable C's, and invest in a recharger for C's, I'm just going to continue using alkaline C's. Based on battery life, it's not that costly, and the radio is as wonderful as I originally reviewed as being. Hope this helps folks.

Great digital radio, good reception and sounds good.

We bought this radio primarily as a hurricane/bug-out type receiver for use during power outages associated with major weather events. We steered away from the hand-cranked type "emergency radios" because we shelter in a rural setting quite some distance from any major station and knew we would require a receiver in the "high performance" class. With the built-in 200 mm rod antenna, the radio is a solid performer on AM, and FM is equally impressive. This type of performance, we assume, may not be present in many of the lower cost, so called emergency radios. We opted for rechargeable batteries but do keep a set of alkaline c-cells on hand as back-up. After noting the excellent run-time of the rechargeable config, it's apparent the alkaline batteries may never be used. The audio quality of the radio is adequate for our purposes. Certainly loud enough without detectable distortion, but lacking in range compared to a high fidelity oriented design. For us that's a non-issue. We bought the radio to receive information, not listen to music. It performs admirably in its assigned role. A couple of little quirks are noted, but none are deal-breakers. When tuned to an RDS enabled station, it's impossible to adjust base and treble for some reason. It seems the RDS banner dominates and overrides the attempted adjustments. The radio will display the treble adjustment mode for a second, then snap back to the RDS banner. Simple solution - just tune off frequency and make the adjustments. Also, the RDS can't be turned off, so instead of reverting to a useful clock display a few seconds after a station is tuned-in, the RDS info runs forever. It's novel at first, but one soon realizes it's a distraction and knowing the time of day may be more relevant. These are minor issues. For the price paid, we've found a winner. It will easily meet our needs, and that's what it's all about. To summarize - if your needs are similar to ours, where the primary interest is news and information, don't hesitate to buy. But if room filling music is your top specification, you might want to pass on this one and look around a bit more. Probably pay more too for that matter. For news and information the rig is a "10". For music a "4" (unless you take advantage of the headphone jack).

Simple to operate and the reception is awesome on AM & FM. Comes with an AC adapter too! The display is very easy on the eyes and I like the ability to tweak treble and bass. Also, being able to use 6 C cell batteries that are alkaline or rechargeable is a bonus feature(it recharges too). Be aware that if you want to use this radio for AM listening, it is best to run it on batteries and not using the AC adapter. The AC adapter can cause some reception issues on AM. The only small issue i have is the audio on AM seems a little heavy on the lower tones. It helps to turn LOUD mode off, however AM radio still seems low and muffled. But then again, AM broadcasters aren't known for their high fidelity sound. FM seems to be very nice sounding. Overall I feel this radio will last many years because it feels like very good quality inside and out. Sangean did a great job with this one. A big shout out to todderbert's review on this radio!!! without his meticulous and extensive reviews on youtube, i never would have taken interest in this model from Sangean.

Excelente rádio estéreo. Compraria novamente.

This is an excellent radio with amazing sound despite the small footprint. Plug your mp3 player into it and you've got decent speakers. FM reception is always great for me. AM reception is variable; the radio is finicky about where it's sitting (even a few inches can make a big difference) and sensitive to nearby sources of interference. When it likes the conditions, AM reception is astonishing. When it doesn't like the conditions, my car radio is better. You can use rechargeable or regular batteries in it, just a matter of flipping a switch.

The radio was purchased 2016 as a Christmas gift. .The radio gets used every day and is pleasure to have in the house .This is a very attractive radio with easy to use controls and useful features . The radio comes with a helpful manual with large print in several languages. All the features on the radio function worked correctly . I found the rechargeable batteries proved to be a excellent investment for this radio if you are using the radio outside on the patio or indoors if the power goes off.

Lo necesitaba para un espacio no tan pequeño y me resultó a la medida. Buen tamaño , muy buen sonido y recepción aceptable. Su construcción se observa de buena calidad.
