Default What do you think of the new Sangean P{r-D5?

Hi. This radio is claimed to come with a built-in 200mm AM ferrite

A long ferrite rod antenna is only one part of the equation. Who has
verified that it has unmatched am reception. Unmatched AM reception
is a level of performance I would not expect in a dressed up clock
radio.

Assuming for a moment that it does have excellent reception, using
that AM antenna to null signals will require that a radio loaded with
6 C batteries be lifted on one end and/or rotated.

I'm going to guess something like a Sony 7600 or Degen will have
better AM performance and be a whole lot easier to handle.

I'm hoping this is going to be
one of the best am radios out there. Any opinions?


$100.00 for an AM FM radio seems pricey. But it is a big impressive
white box with 2 speakers and a yellow backlit display, so those
features have to be worth something I suppose. And it has 5 yes count
'em folks 5 memories each for AM and FM.
