Review on Sangean PR-D12 - Digital Tuning Portable Radio with AM/FM NOAA Weather Alert by Kelly Frerking

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 right :) The 3 inch speaker sounds good in all areas. Quick access to presets at top of radio. No molded rubber part! Normal plastic buttons, no rubber/silicone. AA batteries are used. Function.FM tunes in steps of 50, 100 or 200 kHz. In steps of AM, 9 or 10 kHz. Look for tuning on the tuning wheel to gently mute at night and cause clicks on weak stations during the day. Proper button of some sort. Lockout switch. Overall I am very happy with the FM performance of this radio. It will be added to my FM DX project that I will be working on over the summer months. The included power adapter simplifies setup. The AM band is very delicate and needs a little tweaking to make it perfect. Nice display, easy to set up, very easy to recommend this radio to anyone looking for a quality desktop laptop.
