<\/a>The Sangean PR-D15<\/p><\/div>\n
Having had the Sangean PR-D15 radio for about 10 days, I’m developing a respect for it.<\/p>\n
With what I’ve learned in its use, there is a simplicity in operation that many should enjoy.<\/p>\n
The big feature for a radio that I really must insist on, is being able to plug this radio into 12V DC with a power supply plug. \u00a0And this PR-D15 has this capability. \u00a0I am using a 12 Volt DC, 12 Amp Hour battery as power supply to this radio. \u00a0Digital displays and their illumination can really eat “AA”, “C” and “D” battery power, and using a 12V Gel Cell, AGM or auto battery allows many, many hours of listening.<\/p>\n
Th Sangean PR-D15 uses a 200MM Ferrite bar internal antenna. \u00a0So far, after about 25 hours of AM DXing alone (not including daily AM use), I’ve learned this radio can really hear!<\/p>\n
In a few days, I’ll do some side by side reception tests with the PR-D15 alongside my CCrane CCRadio-SP twin-ferrite analog portable radio. \u00a0And then, more side by side’s with a CCRadio-2E, the Enhanced version.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mike, I look forward to your future radio comparison with great interest! The Sangean PR-D15 sounds like a keeper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
