Receives all 7 NOAA Weather Channel Review: Owner for three years--no regrets! Excellent radio - This may just be one of Sangean's most underrated radios. If reception quality is paramount, this is the radio for you. I will have had this radio for three years come July, and I have no regrets with my choice. FM reception is nothing short of amazing. The radio needs just a little signal for quality reception, and once you have it, you're set. It's extremely sensitive and very selective. In my area, I receive most stations from three distinct markets, ranging 20, 30, and 60 miles away, along with some signals from two other markets (70 and 80 mi away), and with the built-in whip antenna, it's quite easy to receive all of them. The 20 and 30 mi stations can be received just about anywhere you put it, though the distant markets can be a bit finicky depending on placement. FM tunes in 100 or 50 kHz steps, which is initially annoying if you're used to tuning in standard US 200 kHz steps, though you quickly get used to it. Stereo requires a stronger signals than many tuners, though if you're listening to it with the built-in speaker this is a moot point as it's a mono speaker. Stereo only applies when listening through headphones, which provides for a quality audio experience. Be sure to extend the antenna fully though--the best reception is received only when it's fully extended. When it is fully retracted and resting, it's quite bad. AM reception is also outstanding. This radio receives stations I don't get on any other radio--for instance, outdoors I'm able to pick up a highway information radio station about 4.7 miles away on the narrowest filter. The radio has a number of bandwidth filters, from 1 kHz to 6 kHz, with six being the widest and providing the best sound but the most susceptible to noise. Personally, I'd recommend 2.5-4 kHz for talk radio, and 4-6 for music. Weather radio is useful to have along with an auxiliary input. Reception on weather is similar to AM/FM--excellent. I get my local radio station (20 mi), along with one 30 mi away, and in some spots, some from 50-60-70 mi away; impressive for 1kW stations. Battery life can be months on D batteries when used sparingly off of battery power. Overall, the only area where I can complain somewhat is the speaker--it sounds great until you compare it to something else. It lacks in lows and highs; it's definitely a mid-only speaker. Don't let this deter you though--this is a five star radio by all means. Highly recommended! Review: The Best Radio Reception I Have Used - This radio has the best reception and sound quality of all the radios that I have ever had. I typically listen to the Family Radio station, which doesn't have strong reception in the NYC area. I also use this station as my wake up alarm so sometimes when the reception is too weak especially when you live inside an apartment, that becomes a problem. But this radio solves all those problems by providing very strong reception capability. The screen even has a 7-bar indicator that shows you the current signal strength level. If you want the best radio reception no matter where you go, this is the radio to get. Sangean is basically the Apple brand in the radio industry. So if you want quality, go with this brand. The control buttons are just the right amount, very practical with 5 station presets. The WX weather forecasts work great. Sound clarity is excellent. The size is right, not too big and is easy to carry and handle. The price is not the cheapest of all, but again you are paying for its quality and durability. Volume control is located to the right side and is easy to use. This radio also provides pretty large volume while still maintaining its sound quality. Lastly, I had some questions about their products, so I called their office in California. But the technician Jimmy was very rude and seemed to be irritated. Since I didn't get the help I needed, I called their headquarter office instead in Taiwan, and the staff there were very polite and helpful. They were the reason why I came upon this model, and it worked out to be perfect and exactly what I wanted. So thanks to those staff in the Taiwan office. ## Features - Sangean PR-D4W AM/FM Weather Alert Portable Radio with Bandwidth Narrowing, AM Auto Tracking - AM Auto Tracking for improved sensitivity - 25 Presets (10 AM, 10 FM, 5 WX) - Large Easy To Read LCD Display - Includes Switching AC Adapter 100-240V, 50/60Hz - Emergency Alert Indicator light ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PBWV5Q0 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #108,218 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #195 in Weather Radios | | Brand | Sangean | | Built-In Media | product, manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Headphone | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 364 Reviews | | Display Technology | LCD | | Display Type | LCD | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency | 10 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729288060154 | | Hardware Interface | Headphone | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.33"L x 2.44"W x 5.43"H | | Item Part Number | PR-D4W | | Item Weight | 1.13 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Sangean America, Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | PR-D4W | | Model Number | PR-D4W | | Power Source | Battery Powered, Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 9.33"L x 2.44"W x 5.43"H | | Radio Bands Supported | AM/FM/Weather | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Portable | | Style Name | Radio | | Tuner Technology | FM | | Tuner Type | FM | | UPC | 012305136629 782386462169 729288060154 | | Voltage | 120 | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sangean - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Included Components:** product, manual - **Power Source:** Battery Powered, Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 9.33"L x 2.44"W x 5.43"H - **Radio Bands Supported:** AM/FM/Weather - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Style:** Radio - **Tuner Technology:** FM ## Images ![PR-D4W Portable Radio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Rlr2BWUgL.jpg) ![PR-D4W Portable Radio - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Jre0kkLCL.jpg) ![PR-D4W Portable Radio - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z4ePep10L.jpg) ![PR-D4W Portable Radio - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gutUdOb5L.jpg) ![PR-D4W Portable Radio - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fw1Wvy54L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: When I choose the third weather alert option, the red light stays on even when the radio is off period is this normal?** A: Yes, that's normal. It lets you know that the radio is "listening" in the background for weather alerts. The radio uses very little battery power while in this mode, so if you live in an area where severe weather is common, it's a good idea to leave it in this mode. **Q: What are the dimensions? Was looking at the D18, but saw the weather bands on this model. Do the weather bands come in fine and worth the extra cost?** A: 9.35 x 6 x 2.5 inches You can choose the weather band that is closest to you,mine comes in clear as a bell,and as far as price,this is the best i found,this is an excellent radio. **Q: How does this compare with the D5 for AM reception?** A: I own both. AM reception is excellent in both units. I like the D4W better on AM. Sound is richer and clearer at all levels. You can also adjust the bandwidth which enhances AM performance and acts like a base/treble tone adjustment. FM sound is thicker/punchier in D5 but a little muddy. If I could only keep one it would be the D4W. **Q: Hi! should i get sangean pr-d4w or pr-d15 or pr-d5? which one is the best in terms of everything especially am sensitivity? thanks.** A: About the same. The only advantage of the pr-dw4 is it has weather alert which is ok but i have been woken up at 2 am too many times for weather alerts especially for maritime weather that doesn't even effect me. The pr- d15 has better speakers, has a 200mm ferrite rod on par with the GE super radios and is the obvious choice for what you're looking for. Its on my to get wish list. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Owner for three years--no regrets! Excellent radio *by H***5 on May 22, 2020* This may just be one of Sangean's most underrated radios.

A bit heavy, considering there is no handle for carrying this "portable" radio. It has 20 presets with 10 am and 10 fm (each has two bands). Reception seems quite good although a bit staticky in my area. Delivery was on time and Amazon included my recent order for batteries in the same package. Works with 4 D batteries and/or electrical connection (the adaptor comes with the radio which makes me wonder why Amazon shows a separate adaptor as a suggested additional purchase). Overall, I am pleased with this radio. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sangean PR-D4W Portable Radio - Sangean ADP-PRD18 Switching Power AC Adapter for Models PR-D18, PR-D4W, SG-104 and CL-100 (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/12278943-pr-d4w-portable-radio](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/12278943-pr-d4w-portable-radio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
