The radio can be set to automatically turn off after 120, 90, 60, 45, 30, or 15 minutes, so you can fall asleep to the sound of music, talk, or news. Sleep alarm allows you to wake up to music or beeper with Humane Wake Up System--which gradually ramps up the alarm volume to wake you, instead of delivering an abrasive jolt.

Five presets are available on each band and the auto seek will automatically find the active stations across the entire band rather than to the next frequency. It can be powered by the included AC adapter, or by six AA batteries (not included). Additionally, if you use rechargeable AA batteries, they'll be charged right in the radio when it's powered by the AC adapter. It also features a headphone jack, which automatically turns off the speaker when headphones are used.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Quality and Reliable TRAVEL Radio 3.0, August 14, 2008

This review is from: Sangean PR-D7 AM/FM Digital Rechargeable Portable Radio (Electronics)
I recently read analysis of the Sangean PR-D5 vs. the Sangean PR-D7 radios. The reviews missed the point: These two Sangean radios target different market niches and needs. The PR-D5 is essentially a table radio while the PR-D7 targets folks that need a radio for domestic travel. I'm sure the engineers at Sangean see it this way. Why not buy both radios?

The Sangean PR-D7 has a clean crisp sound with very low noise floor on AM and FM bands, a great improvement over Sangean radios of similar size such as the ATS-505 or the ATS-909. BTW, I've tuned in all the major stations in the greater Phoenix area without a problem including the hard to catch 89.5, a classical station.

I have been very surprised at the overall performance of the PR-D7 radio and listen to this radio on a daily basis. The Sangean PR-D7 ($59) does 90 percent of what the Trivoli Songbook does at 25 percent of the Songbook's $200 price tag.

Still, the PR-D7 could use a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Radio, October 29, 2008
This review is from: Sangean PR-D7 AM/FM Digital Rechargeable Portable Radio (Electronics)
I was trying to replace my Sony ICF-M410 which is about the same size. I was extremely disappointed I could not find it as they discontinued this model and I was so happy with that radio. In searching for reviews of AM/FM small portable radios, I came upon this one. Not too many reviews (7) but I bought it anyway because I wanted a radio that ran on batteries. I could not be happier with this radio!! Superior in sound and reception to the Sony I had and a BIG PLUS is that you can use rechargable batteries (I have been using the eneloop) and charge them in the radio! Doesn't get any better than that and I LOVE having the option of using the electrical adapter (which comes with it) or use it with the batteries only. There is no weather band or tv band on this like the Sony, but I really mostly use the radio for AM reception and talk radio which is excellent (FM is also). I highly recommend this radio for anyone looking for a truly portable radio with great sound, reception and a compact... Read more

I received this as a gift from someone who knew I would use this for the purposes of travel, which I infer would be suitable for this "portable radio".

Pros:
-Decent to good build quality. I knocked it off the windowsill from almost a few feet above the hardwood and its fine--no rattles. Fit and finish is outstanding, but the glossy surface is less desirable in this application. Why not use something textured or rubberized instead?
-Rechargeable feature works fine with my Eneloops. I can play the radio ~ 8 hrs a day for a week before the batteries start to wear down.
-Pretty good sound quality to my untrained ear, and can get loud!

Cons:
-Awkward button design. The power button sticks out more than the others, which means the radio gets turned on and off in your pack. A low profile sliding toggle button mounted topside would work much better. Heck, all the buttons could have gone up there, to make room for a jumbo display. Also, the... Read more
