PR-D18BK AM/FM/Clock Portable Digital Radio with Protective Bumper (Black/Gray)

Yesterday I was really waiting patiently for this radio, but I could tell by the box it was not the radio. Instead, it was a box of plastic cups. I called Amazon and the nice person reordered it for me, which I just got a few minutes ago. Luckily, the 6v power adapter that was plugged into my 30-year old Zenith radio fit into the power plug and powered up the radio. I carefully researched this ahead of time and was relieved that I worked. So now I don’t have to buy the power adapter, which is sold separately. This radio is definitely smaller than I had figured, but the sound produced is truly amazing. It sounds great. So now it’s sitting on the Kitchen counter where the old analog radio was and without even reading the manual I was able to tune to a couple of AM stations and a couple of FM stations and stored them. I unplugged the DC power from the radio and plugged it back in. I was happy to find that it kept its memory of the stations. There must be a charged capacitor somewhere applying power for the memory, probably not an internal battery, but I might be wrong. I don’t know how long you can keep the power disconnected, but for about 10 seconds, it kept its memory. It also has good sensitivity and good selectivity, since I was able to bring in a few stations that were very distant and difficult to get on most of the radios in my house. So I’m happy about that. One feature that I like is the sleep timer, which my old radio had. When you press and hold the power button, it counts down in 15 minute increments. I always like to select 15 or 30 minutes, which allows me some time in the morning to have my cereal and feed and let the dog out. If it shuts off, I just press and hold the power button again. I just figured out how to set the time, which is now displayed as the radio is playing. I think you can either select the time to be on all the time, or the tuned station, but I haven’t read the manual yet. Even with the radio off, the time is displayed. I just checked since I heard the radio go off from the Living Room and went into the Kitchen to verify this. Nice. It’s a very well made and nice sounding radio. I’m sure it will last many years. I like the rubber non-slip trim around the radio, which also goes along the bottom and stops the radio from sliding. I just wish I knew the person who helped me yesterday from Amazon’s Customer Service. I was a little upset about the box of plastic cups and had to drive to the UPS store to send them back. She was nice and calm and reordered another radio for me and told me that I would have it tomorrow even if they hadn’t received the cups back yet. To her, I just wanted to say thank you again. Oh, and I tracked the cups, Amazon received them a couple of hours ago. 4/12/25 update: I just wanted to add that my alarm went off this morning to the radio, which is what I wanted. It took me forever to change from the beep icon to the radio icon for the alarm. I really don't know how I did it, but I don't want to play with it again. AND, there is no way to clear the alarm. I tried everything. What I do like is that for the one hour that the radio is playing (alarm), the LCD Backlight is lit, which I like. Except for setting and clearing the alarm and changing it to beep or play the radio, is a little difficult, but overall, I still am very impressed with this radio and the way it sounds.

There's been some reviewers disappointed that despite "digital' being in the items description it's not a DAB radio, but an old fashioned AM/FM model with a digital type display. We live in regional NSW and with no DAB outside the state capital cities we have no need or desire for a DAB radio with FM being the main delivery around here. We needed a radio with a sensitive FM tuner as we're between ABC transmitter towers - 100+ kilometers or 65 miles away from our home. This radio replaces a very good Sony portable slightly larger radio which recently gave up the ghost. I'd say the FM reception with the Sangean is on a par with it. i haven't tried out the AM band. We didn't purchase the official 6v power supply, instead I've tried a similar 5v supply we have here already. It worked well, but as some have reported when you tune to a distant FM station with some background hiss you can discern a low level static sound which isn't present when powered from the batteries. The antenna is long enough to receive FM stations on a quarter wave which is appropriate but not always provided with similar units. All in all a very nice unit which does the job well on FM. Edit: I've tried the AM band and can advise that Aussie users must switch the tuning gap between stations from the default ten pips gap when tuning to nine as our stations typically run 612, 621, 630 and so on. Refer to the radio instructions to effect the switch which is then saved.

I recently purchased this radio and overall, it has its pros and cons. Pros ✅ • Compact and portable design • Easy to use with a simple interface • Good sound quality for its size Cons ❌ • The AC adapter is not included and it uses an old-style adapter instead of a USB type • Limited features—no USB, Bluetooth, or additional modern functions • Primarily battery-operated with no built-in battery charging capability Final Verdict This is a classic-style radio with a digital LCD display. While it offers decent sound quality and a straightforward user experience, it lacks modern features and charging convenience. Ideal for those who prefer a traditional radio experience.

Recibí el radio en buenas condiciones y en un tiempo bastante rápido, pero es una pena que no llegó completo según como lo publica el vendedor (No traía los auriculares tal como lo dice en las características), Es muy buen radio, se siente bien al tacto y funciona excelente, muy buen audio sin distorcion con todo el volumen, muy buena respuesta a los mandos de los botones, bastante sonido considerando el tamaño del radio, excelente compra, muy buenas prestaciones por el precio, lo recomiendo ampliamente. Es un pequeño radio especial para tener y escuchar en lugares cerrados con muy poco volumen, y también para portarlo en el estadio y escuchar la narración del juego con un volumen bastante aceptable... Amazon, ojalá puedan reponerme el auricular que describe en la publicación...

El radio bien! Ninguna queja con eso. Con lo que tengo una queja es con el pago de envoltura para regalo de Amazon. Es la segunda vez que lo pido y no viene un producto envuelto, además de todo no veo opcion alguna para levantar este tipo de queja. El radio muy bien 100%recomendable.
