the three new sangeans are now for sale on ebay and the major SW
dealers. they don't look too impressive for the money compared to some
of the chinese portables like the PL-200 and DE-1102 but who knows ?????


$147 "buy it now" price for the PT-80.
I would be hard pressed to come up with
a reason to buy Sangean at prices like that,
when I just got a DE1102 for $68.50 delivered.
Without having seen a review I will venture
a guess that the PT-80 is a good radio, based
on the description and my experiences with the
Radio Shack labeled versions I own.
But I can't see me ever paying that kind of
money again for something I can obtain that
is comparable and less than half the price.

Just my 2 cents.
