Review on πŸ“» Sangean PR-D17 AM/FM-RDS Portable Radio for the Visually Impaired with Guided Voice Prompts, Black, 10 Station Presets (5 AM, 5 FM), Stereo/Mono Switch, Alarm Timer by Sam Simone

Now you can know where you are on the radio dial; that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

This is a well designed radio. I want to know where I am on the radio dial when I turn on the radio. This is particularly useful when searching for distant AM stations (called DX) at night. Speaking of DX, AM was pretty good... surprisingly good. In fact, it rivaled C. Crane's EP Pro and even came close to the CC Radio 2e, which has been my radio of choice for long-distance AM reception. I recommend you buy this radio if you have vision problems. and when, after turning on the radio, you were having trouble navigating the AM scale because you didn't know what frequency you were on. The FM range was quite sensitive and very selective and it was nice to finally be able to hear FM radio stations in stereo through the speakers without having to put on headphones to hear them in stereo like I've done with other radios . The "Aux In" jack worked pretty well and I was able to play my MP3 files. through the radio speakers is quite nice with great performance. so you could say it was a very good audio player and also a good radio. I haven't tried the sleep timer or set the clock yet, so maybe I'll cover that later. All in all, you can't go wrong with this radio. This is the best radio a visually impaired person can buy for the price and is very thoughtfully designed.

Pros
  • Alarm timer with buzzer or radio adjustable sleep timer HWS (Human Wake System)
Cons
  • Long delivery time
