AM/FM-RDS portable receiver w/USB

Excellent because it makes USB playing available without an mp3 player. I bought it to listen to recordings I once made on cassettes, then listened on my clock radio in the sleep mode so they would stop a set time after starting, then could pick up at that same point. This could be repeated as many times as desired. Cassette clock radios are no longer commonly available so this is a welcome convenience. I hope the prduct becomes popular and produced widely to introduce optional features, tone adjustments, etc.

Needed to pull in a strong FM signal for my office at work. My favorite radio station is on the other side of my building. The radio that I had would not pull it in. This PR-D14 is solid in terms of reception and quality. The USB capability is also a plus.

I've found that Sangean always makes quality products and this radio is no exception. I'm very happy with it. The sound quality is quite satisfactory for mono from the one speaker, but you get stereo when you plug headphones or stereo speakers into its jack. And the USB is a nice feature: I put some MP3s onto my keydrive and then plugged it into the top of the radio and then it played my music and audiobooks. I don't know how long the batteries last because my batteries in it are still strong... but then I don't use them much; I mainly use AC power. (It takes 4 "D" batteries... expensive. So if I were to use the batteries a lot I would invest in rechargeable batteries.)

Liked every thing

I bought this radio mainly for the USB outlet but the radio itself is nice also. This radio only seems to work with Sansdisk flash drives, so I would recommend you purchase those for use with the player. The speaker seems a little more bass heavy than other Sangeans I have but this is a good thing. I'm also glad it uses 4 D batteries since they last a long time. All things considered, I'd recommend this player....

This radio picks up stations that I couldn't get on any stereo system which I really appreciate since I live out in the middle of no where. I like to fall asleep with the radio on and it has a timer which will turn off the unit while I'm asleep. The sound is very good and the price was right. I do agree with another buyer that said it is a little difficult to operate. I have to keep referring to the manual to see what I'm doing wrong. I think with time, I'll get the hang of it. Overall, I'm glad I purchased it.

Bought this because of reviews on Amazon. Excellent ability to bring a station in, which I was having trouble with. Can't figure out how to keep clock light without having radio on. I found it difficult to set up date, clock and program stations. But I bought it for reception.

wish the radio had a handle and that the lighted screen stayed lite so i could see the names of the songs.

On the back of my new Sangean PR-D14 above where the model number and specifications is printed is a grind mark 2 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches high that easily stands out from the highly polished surface on the rest of the radio. For a radio costing $65 this should never be an issue. I made a custom made address label to cover the grind mark. The radio also badly needs a handle.
