super radio best in radio

this is a great radio. Excellent reception on all bands, pleasant sound from the speaker and solid build quality. I don't understand why anyone should leave a negative review here. Buy one now and you will love it.

Pros
  • worth the money
Cons
  • old

Quality radio, good for weather radios

Let me start with; I've only had the radio for a few days. The radio looks, feels and sounds like an exceptional radio. FM reception is excellent. Didn't listen to much AM, mostly news, reception was acceptable. Basically, I'm very happy with the radio. Suggestions: Turn on the key lock, turn on the battery circuit, and leave the display on for a while.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • May damage

Outstanding product!

What impresses me most is the apparent quality of this radio. We've had the Sangean in the past but I wasn't sure it would live up to expectations. It is very extensive and appears to be of the highest quality. Extremely easy to program and use. We live just to the left of nowhere and it actually gets radio stations. The sound quality from the 3 inch speaker is amazing and of course it makes a great weather radio.

Pros
  • Outstanding overall performance
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Had a few problems from the start trying to adjust the volume, change channels or turn off. We sent it to Sangean for repair, it took 7 days to get the return label. When he was brought back there was no explanation as to what was wrong with him. There is a service department. seems indifferent to our problems. We still have problems with that. Will buy replacement soon.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Brand new defective x 2

The first device was defective. The display freezes, turns off/on and resets to the flashing time of 12:00 (see video). The reception and sound was so good that I took another chance by asking Revain to send me another brand new unit. The second block was also defective. This time the volume didn't increase or decrease sequentially, and at times it went completely silent. I would post a video about it, but Revain reviews only allow one video. I opted for a refund rather than risking a third…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity

The best VHF receiver I've tested!

The Sangean PR-D12 AM Weather Alert portable radio features great design and reception. Get ready for some surprises. Search the radio and my name on YouTube for details on this receiver. Features I love about this radio: FM reception is out of this world! Easy to read LCD display. above average. weather alert mode. FM stereo with headphones. The AM band works well in the evening and daytime hours and is responsive with a passive loop. The clock is displayed below the frequency! You got it…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Discontinued

Best little radio I've ever used

Just got it so here are my first impressions. The radio is great. It is not raven. The box arrived alone, a Sangean box with a shipping label taped to the top. This often happened, absolutely no shipping container, only goods with a label. It wasn't damaged, but I'm sure a lot of them are. I think most people read these product reviews, not the shipping reviews, so the above didn't affect my rating. At the moment the radio is the HOME WAY for this type of small portable radio: really great…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Speed
