The Sangean PR-D5 is an excellent stereo radio with an electronic Radio Data System feature that permits automatic clock setting by tuning in to stations equipped with this feature. Like a Bose, it has a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary-in audio jack (for a CD Walkman, tape deck, or computer), a full-range and mellow tone with excellent bass and treble, but it works on batteries (not included) or an automobile accessory plug (not included) as well as AC power with the included adapter. It is appealing and pleasant in appearance, has a small footprint, and is not too heavy to carry even when loaded with six C-cell batteries. One note: I found that the manual is incorrect in stating that the time can be set manually with the radio either on or off. In my experience, the radio must be off. And don't look for a Time Set knob to press: the station tuning dial doubles for this purpose.

It's difficult to pick up even local AM radio stations in large, concrete buildings. I've been very pleased with the Sangean PR-D5. It picks up FM easily and pulls in the AM talk radio stations quite well. I don't really use the R.D.S capability, but do now and then notice a title scrolling across when playing music on FM stations pushing R.D.S. I haven't used external connections since I'm just using it for an office radio. Good, strong sound, quality reception.

I love this radio! The scrolling text feature is something that I didn't expect but I think is pretty neat. The sound and reception is very good. The only thing I would change is the addition of a tone button. The base seems to overtake the treble. I will be purchasing another soon!

This radio is AWESOME! My iPod Shuffle plugs right into it (no fancy iPod or docking station needed). The speakers sound great for a little radio, too! I listen to AM a lot (talk radio and baseball games), so this radio has everything I could possibly ask for! AND it has a digital display of song & radio station info. It's perfect for my newly remodeled (white) bathroom and I couldn't be happier with it. It was worth every penny!
