 OK radio--but disappointed July 26, 2008
Douglas Henderson (SW Montana)
I bought a Sangean PR-D2 from Amazon last week and it arrived yesterday. I put an hour or so into testing reception and sound against a few other radios on hand. All functions worked perfectly. Reception was pretty good, including the TV stations. Searching through all the stations was very precise and could be done by three routes: a large, sensitive knob, small or large increments by two push-buttons or another set of numbered buttons that race you across the spectrum--perhaps the best design and station searching performance I've seen in a small radio. Although there is an analog scale, it is just another part of the digital LCD screen. br / br /However, I found the sound on my copy muddy compared to a Kaito KA-2100, a Panasonic RF2200, A Realistic DX-390, an old GE 4-band portable radio and a newer GE late-model Superadio. The Sangean just delivered a muffled tonal range with little improvement when using the single tone knob. That said, the sound was without any distortion or crackling bass when the volume was turned up. For a bed-side radio, this one ought to be perfectly satisfactory if you are less concerned about sound fidelity. br / br /I'm returning the radio to Amazon.

 Sangean PR-D2 , Not bad, Not great April 28, 2004

This radio looks great. I really liked the style. However, that's about all I really liked. Another reviewer compared the sound to the Bose Wave radio. Either they've never heard the Bose or they were just really happy with the price comparison. At high volumes the radio sounds ok but at lower volumes it sounds like it play from inside a cardboard box. I could live with that but my real disappointment was with the tuning. I live in the mountains where radio reception is difficult. Usually "PLL Synthesized Digital Tuning for rock stable reception of AM/FM" is exactly that. In this radio the tuning is stable but the reception was worse than other cheap dial tuning radios that I own. Often raising the antenna made the reception even worse. I really wanted to like this radio but it's just lacking in too many areas. The clock vs frequency display feature is another really bad idea.

My Sangean Q arrived via Fedex within 7 days of placing the order. pI was impressed immediately with the classic retro designbrand the obvious assembly quality. The controls, large knobs and buttons, are very easy to see, feel, and manipulate. The backlighting glows a warm golden shade and can be turned off. The various buttons on top that control functions are designed to make their use intuitive - I set the radio up to my preferences, and then read the manual! Very simple and straight forward. pStation reception is excellent, very important in rural east Texas. This quality, and the 5 pre-sets on each band, remind me of a car radio. The sound is pleasant and well balanced, a little weak on bass presence and separation, but considering the price and size, very adequate, and better than most other radios in this price range. pThe Sangean Q is a fine, general purpose radio with above average convience features and sound. Keep the batteries fresh and you'll have a great emergency radio to boot!
A lot of radio. Not so much clock. April 4, 2003

This would appear to be a car radio circuit put in an attractive, rather retro looking package. You get your five preset buttons, and the display is in a panel that looks like it would be at home in a dashboard as well as in the radio you're given.pYou get car radio performance out of the radio circuit as well. First night I got it, on the AM side on a spring night I got New Orleans, Toronto, and Cleveland. The FM circuit appears to be just as solid, giving good reception on stations that usually are not easy to hear on the radio it replaced. pThere's even a terminal to attach an external AM antenna to this thing; unfortunately there's no provision for an external FM antenna. The FM sound quality is solid, even though stereo can only be had through headphones. As a radio, this would be useful for sports fans and other AM listeners who follow teams in distant cities at night. pThe clock radio part is very basic, however, with only one clock or alarm setting. When the radio comes on, as noted below, the display shows the frequency instead of the time; you can't set up for a different display. There's no fancy stuff that allows you to fall asleep to one station and wake to another, or to adjust the sleep and wake volume to different settings. The only way you get a clock memory is to add the batteries that power the radio itself: four D cells. The whole package is rather heavy with the batteries in.pIf your needs for a clock radio are very basic, this would work fine. If the performance of the radio is more important than the performance of the clock, again this is a good choice. If you need a multifeature clock radio, look elsewhere.
