PR-D19BU FM Stereo/AM Digital Tuning Portable Radio with Protective Bumper (White/Blue)

Este radio tiene muy buen sonido y a demás tiene 5 memorias ,lo único que veo es que no trae en contacto para corriente, pero su material es de excelente calidad

A nice looking radio. The FM reception is excellent. It automatically selects FM stations with precise tuning, example FM101.7 or .4 or whatever you desire. However, with AM stations the tuner is in increments of 10 only, no single digit adjustment. Example, if you want AM873, it cannot precisely tune in it. It will select 870 or 880. There is no way you can select 873. Because of that design fault, the signal is poor; hissing and scratchy sound. It’s a shame, because I really liked the radio for its looks and FM sound quality. I returned this radio and chose another model with both automatic and manual tuning in AM mode.

I love the size!!! So compact and simply easy to use. I was able to set my fav stations without any issues. The blue and white combo is so soothing and looks very elegant. I'm going to use in my bedroom to listen to music from any radio station and fall into deep sleep. Hard to find digital setting radio these days. Most of them are fine tuning. I still love a good old portable radio to keep me company. These days, I do agree music comes from different devices but getting music out of a real radio is amazing. Thank you Amazon for still having stock of these type of items preferred by a specific group of people. Hahaha.

I am no radio expert but have had this a couple weeks so thought I would give it a review. I was torn between getting something really portable vs something that would seemingly perform great but weigh 5 lbs. This seemed to be a happy middle ground so thought I would try this. I purchased this based on reviews of the same radio in a mono version indicating it was almost perfect on FM, and really good on AM. I wanted to stereo version so I purchased this. Overall I would probably buy it again. Its pretty good for its price, but a long way from perfect. The goods: - Its approximately the size of a hard cover book and weighs about a pound, so its easy to take with you. - Its very intuitive and easy to use. Hold the search button down briefly and it will scan to next channel. Hold the channel button down until it beeps to save the station to memory. - It will save 20 total stations (10 AM and 10FM, on 4 different saved memory groups). The saved stations are accessed from buttons on the top of the radio - The speakers sound OK, but do distort pretty badly at higher volumes - The FM receiver is fairly good - but does fade in and out a little, and seems to drift a little as well - It does not come with an AC power supply - which is to be expected in this price and size - however I have been using it on batteries and its battery usage does not seem to be excessive - at least yet.. It uses 4AA - It has an Aux input for something like an MP3 player. The Not Great items - The worst part about this radio is the headphone out. Its very low volume and way has way too much bass. Its pretty much not usable on headphones or external speakers. I am not sure why Sangean would release a product with such an obvious defect. I didn't buy it really to use with external speakers or headphones anyway, but if you are - don't buy this one. - The AM is just OK. There are really only 3 AM stations in the area, all of which I can also pick up on a really old pocket Sony, and this radio doesn't do much better. Overall I am satisfied with this radio, but its a compromise. If you want something super portable this is not quite it but its close, If you want something with really good performance and sound this is not it either, but its not bad.

I am becoming my father. He worked outdoors all his life and listened to AM talk radio. ALL THE TIME. And I find myself now doing the same thing. (Radio listening, not working outdoors!) So, I have an upstairs radio which I use while getting myself ready for the day and another radio downstairs where I spend most of my day. The upstairs radio was a cheap worldband radio that finally stopped working and I needed a replacement. I read several reviews of this Sangean radio and understood that it ate batteries for breakfast, so the fact that it uses up two pairs of rechargeables every few weeks doesn't bother me. But there are other design issues with this Sangean PR-D19 that DO bother me. - The sound quality is just ok. Again, I listen to mostly AM talk stations and the sound of voices seems a bit thin. Interestingly, music sounds fine on FM stations. So if you're getting this radio to listen to music on FM stations, you'll like this Sangean. - The volume control buttons are in a odd place. Instead of being directly below the power button, where one might expect them, they are on the left side of the front panel array of controls. I'll probably get used to this placement, but it just seems like an odd spot for them. - The presets for stations are on the top of the radio and are well hidden. I have the blue and white version of this radio and the preset buttons are blue-on-blue. And being on top of the radio, they're just a little too easy to press while carrying the radio from room to room. OK, so those are the things that I don't like. But the radio also has some features that I appreciate: + The blue and white version of the radio is handsome. It looks great and the blue band around the radio is rubbery and protects both surfaces and the radio itself. + The FM stereo sounds very nice, especially when playing music. I don't know how Sangean does it - make a thin sounding AM band and a rather rich sounding FM. + The radio is a nice size. It is great for carrying around the house one-handed. + It has some nice extra settings, like a sleep timer and a backlit display that stays on for about ten seconds after touching any of the buttons.
