5.0 out of 5 stars Sangean PT50 Review
The Sangean PT50 radio is a sensitive radio and pulls in distant stations. It runs on two AA batteries and battery life is good. The dial has a digital frequency readout and is accurate. The radio has a 3.5mm jack for headphones and offers stereo reception. The tuning is a little fast and is difficult to adjust to an exact frequency. Needs to be geared down somewhat...

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Excuse for a Multi-Band Radio
I purchased this radio about a year ago and was VERY disappointed with its functions. VERY difficult to tune in AM, FM, or short wave. The only thing this radio is good for is the alarm feature and for $50 I could have purchased a much better alarm. DO NOT waste your money on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars This product is a waste of money!!!, September 6, 2008

This review is from: Sangean PT-50 AM/FM Stereo SW Shortwave World Band Digital Travel Radio with World Time (Electronics)
This radio only can tune in stations via an old-school tuning knob, making it a MAJOR pain to go from one station to another!!! It has NO preset capability!!! And what "genius" decided to NOT include a power cord??? I would've had to shell out $25 extra at Radio Shack just to be able to plug this freakin' thing in!!! You're better off getting this model:

Sangean PT-80 AM/FM Professional Digital Stereo LW/SW Shortwave World Band Travel Radio

It has preset capablity, auto tuning, an included power cord, and an optional antenna to improve shortwave reception. You'll get more bang for you buck when you get this model.

The radio has a 3.5mm jack for headphones and offers stereo reception. The tuning is a little fast and is difficult to adjust to an exact frequency. Needs to be geared down somewhat. The electroluminescent backlight is a little fast and needs to stay on longer. All in all a fairly good radio.

This review is from: Sangean PT-50 AM/FM Stereo SW Shortwave World Band Digital Travel Radio with World Time (Electronics)
Pros: The radio looks nice and expensive.

Cons: The reception is so poor, that my $15 Radio Shack radio picks up better. This will be the last time I purchase a cheap Chinese knock off.
