Sangean PR-D5BK AM/FM Portable Radio with Digital Tuning and RDS (Black) (Renewed)

We had a Sangean internet radio previously and it took so much effort to reprogram it everytime it decided to go down. So frustrating! I thought I'd try to use this regular broadcast AM/FM Sangean and I love it. True, I don't get any internet stations on it, but I can live with that. When I want internet radio, I can use my computer. It never goes down and is so much easier.

I get few radio stations, and poor reception. The antenna broke right away.

After just 4 months radio no longer works!!! And of course it is too late to return. For close to $60 it is very disappointing. Also volume was quite low so only able to hear with next to bed, but was willing to live with that.

I like the fact that it has an RDS display as well as and AUX input(and headphone out). Not sure what all the griping about sound quality is on some of the other reviews. It sounds pretty smooth to me as compared to a lot of other table radios and boom boxes. It's solidly built and has a very sturdy chrome antenna that isn't like those cheap "wire" things you get on most other radios. I'd buy it again.

I put this on my zero turn in a padded box with ANC headset. It now changes stations randomly. This is the second one I have purchased and the first is also malfunctioning requiring several pushes on the on button to get it turned on or off. It does have decent reception but the quality of button functions leaves a lot to be desired.

Using this as my garage radio, mostly to listen to AM radio. It is a good enough radio, but a bit too plasticky, not heavily made like some others. On-off button is clumsy, but functional. Overall a good enough value for a garage radio.

This is my second PR-D5. Sangean has the best reception circuits in the business. Pulls in weak stations. Sound is OK, could use a bit more base. Other than the base issue, this is the best small radio I have purchased. Like I said, I purchased a second one.

Love the styling and it did pull in a SF station I could never get .What I don’t like is that it has no tone control and 2 dinky speakers encased in plastic which gives it a muffled sound.Come on, even the cheapest radio has tone control.
