Review: Great little radio, well worth the price! - This is the second radio that I tried after needing to replace my very old, trusty GE portable radio (after dropping it far too many times, I finally broke the antenna for good, and the handle) . The first one was Sony ICF38 Portable AM/FM Radio (Black) which I HATED. See my review on that one. I did a lot of research on portable radios, looking for one that had excellent reception. Didn't want to spend a lot (wanted to keep it under $20). Bought the Sony for $25 because of excellent reviews. Sadly, my experience was not good so I returned that. Then I went back and increased my price range and decided to try this Sangean. I didn't want to spend much because I only use this radio on Sundays for Green Bay Packer broadcasts, and depending on the sync with the TV broadcast, I need to change the station to find the one that is closest in sync. Was never planning to spend $50 on a radio that I use so little, but conveniently it is my birthday and mom gives me $50 bucks so this became my birthday present. Anyway.... WOW....this little radio is awesome. I am glad it has the electronic tuning and the five presets for both AM and FM. This has made it much easier to lock in the stations that I am trying to tune. The sound is amazing and the size is perfect. My ONLY negative is that it doesn't have a handle, but with it's size and the slightly indented speaker, it makes it easy to carry around. Another plus is it also will fit in my front jeans pocket for those times that my hands are full. This radio has excellent reception. Even with the antenna folded down, this pulled in FM stations better than the Sony radio that I had bought previously (with the antenna fully extended). I was concerned about the battery life because of the electronics, and lighted screen. But other owners said battery life was pretty decent. I have tried rechargeable batteries in this, but it doesn't seem to like them as much so I switched to regular alkalines. I had forgotten this radio also has an alarm clock. I might just bring this one camping with me for that reason. I like the rubberized surround (the darker colored part) which helps keep it from slipping. Nice extra. SOUND: Excellent sound, and volume is amazing...minimal distortion when set at highest volume (which I will probably never use) No AC cord included: Not a big deal to me. I will only use it on batteries, so this allows it to have a smaller size since you don't need storage for the cord. No Handle: I thought this was going to be a big issue for me. It's not. Fits easily in your hand for carrying.
Review: Correct item this time, very nice radio. - Yesterday I was really waiting patiently for this radio, but I could tell by the box it was not the radio. Instead, it was a box of plastic cups. I called desertcart and the nice person reordered it for me, which I just got a few minutes ago. Luckily, the 6v power adapter that was plugged into my 30-year old Zenith radio fit into the power plug and powered up the radio. I carefully researched this ahead of time and was relieved that I worked. So now I don’t have to buy the power adapter, which is sold separately. This radio is definitely smaller than I had figured, but the sound produced is truly amazing. It sounds great. So now it’s sitting on the Kitchen counter where the old analog radio was and without even reading the manual I was able to tune to a couple of AM stations and a couple of FM stations and stored them. I unplugged the DC power from the radio and plugged it back in. I was happy to find that it kept its memory of the stations. There must be a charged capacitor somewhere applying power for the memory, probably not an internal battery, but I might be wrong. I don’t know how long you can keep the power disconnected, but for about 10 seconds, it kept its memory. It also has good sensitivity and good selectivity, since I was able to bring in a few stations that were very distant and difficult to get on most of the radios in my house. So I’m happy about that. One feature that I like is the sleep timer, which my old radio had. When you press and hold the power button, it counts down in 15 minute increments. I always like to select 15 or 30 minutes, which allows me some time in the morning to have my cereal and feed and let the dog out. If it shuts off, I just press and hold the power button again. I just figured out how to set the time, which is now displayed as the radio is playing. I think you can either select the time to be on all the time, or the tuned station, but I haven’t read the manual yet. Even with the radio off, the time is displayed. I just checked since I heard the radio go off from the Living Room and went into the Kitchen to verify this. Nice. It’s a very well made and nice sounding radio. I’m sure it will last many years. I like the rubber non-slip trim around the radio, which also goes along the bottom and stops the radio from sliding. I just wish I knew the person who helped me yesterday from desertcart’s Customer Service. I was a little upset about the box of plastic cups and had to drive to the UPS store to send them back. She was nice and calm and reordered another radio for me and told me that I would have it tomorrow even if they hadn’t received the cups back yet. To her, I just wanted to say thank you again. Oh, and I tracked the cups, desertcart received them a couple of hours ago. 4/12/25 update: I just wanted to add that my alarm went off this morning to the radio, which is what I wanted. It took me forever to change from the beep icon to the radio icon for the alarm. I really don't know how I did it, but I don't want to play with it again. AND, there is no way to clear the alarm. I tried everything. What I do like is that for the one hour that the radio is playing (alarm), the LCD Backlight is lit, which I like. Except for setting and clearing the alarm and changing it to beep or play the radio, is a little difficult, but overall, I still am very impressed with this radio and the way it sounds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Radio HD? Tia**
A: If you're interested in HD then Sangean has a HDR14 or an HDR16, I have the HDR16 which is fantastic and sounds awesome beyond Stereophonic sound.

**Q: Would this work well as an emergency radio?**
A: No. Digital radios, especially with clocks, will drain batteries faster both when running and when "off" compared to analog radios. This also does not have the "weather" band (also broadcasts other emergency info). There is absolutely no reason to get this as an emergency radio.

**Q: How long is the battery life?**
A: Batteries not included, 4 AA alkaline, but if u use it low volume they will/shall last pretty long. Vol is 1-10, I use it on 5. The radio is a good deal. And easy to set.

**Q: What is the battery life?**
A: Not good, I play it about  30- 45 minutes a day, use normal AA batteries , at a fairly high volume. I put a tag on the radio when I changed the batteries, and it has consistently required replacement every 5 weeks. Very disappointing. I had a $15 Sony before this, and that would run months on the same usage schedule.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rock solid portable radio with great sound & reception
*by J***N on June 24, 2020*

I ordered this Sangean PR-D18BK as I was looking for something to replace an older camping type radio that was in our upstairs bathroom. The previous radio had a digital tuner and clock - both which had come in quite handy. But the sound of that radio was overly brittle and the tuning knob had become extremely skittish and hard to work with. A slight touch of the tuning knob would throw me way up-and-down the dial and thus tuning in the station I wanted was proving difficult more and more. I took note of all of the reviews that complemented the reception and the sound quality of the Sangean PR-D18BK. I completely agree with these reviews. This radio is extremely sensitive, more so than any radio in my house including my Onkyo home stereo (which does pretty well). The Sangean is on par with my car radio. The sound of this radio is very balanced and full bodied. It has a nice amount of treble without being overly bright - and a decent amount of bass for a small speaker. Even on AM which of course is not a decent sounding band anymore (compared to the 1950-1970'a when AM was the Top 40 radio band and radios actually had good sounding AM tuners, even AM stereo in the early eighties) this radio still has a decent AM sound and has great sensitivity as well. As far as FM, here in Denver I enjoy listening to an FM station that unfortunately is only a 99 watts and is on the far side of town. Even though it is on Lookout Mountain (where most Denver transmitters are) the signal has such low power that it struggles to come all the way across to the South East part of town where I live. This is the only radio in my house that picks up the station easily, again on par with my car stereo. If another one of my radios goes down for the count, I will probly get another 1 of these. I am extremely pleased with the Sangean PR-D18BK.
