4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of radio. Not so much clock., April 4, 2003

By	S. Gustafson "Holy Roman Emperor" (New Albany, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

You 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.

There'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.

The 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.

If 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product with major hidden problem, January 20, 2003

An well designed product, but with an LCD screen that wears out and disappears after about six months. The company replaced my first unit, but it has happened again. A disappointment from this good company.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sangean PR-D2 , Not bad, Not great, April 28, 2004

By A Customer

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.
