For years, I have tried every type of portable radio I could find so that I could listen to my public radio station in the morning, moving it from the bedroom to the bathroom to the kitchen. If it was a rainy morning, I knew the reception would be poor. If it was slightly bumped, the carefully tuned station would be lost. I finally dropped my last "shower" radio and decided to find a more permanent solution.This Sangean PR-D9W is PERFECT!! The sound quality is unbelievable. I no longer have to worry about losing reception. It is the best purchase I have made. I was hesitant to spend this kind of money for a radio, but if I had only known it could be this good, I would have done it a long time ago. I love everything about it. I purchased the recommended rechargeable batteries at the same time. I want to do everything right by this radio! How wonderful to wake up to crystal clear NPR rather than to undiscernable static! It is small enough for travel, comes with a nice travel sleeve to protect it, and I don't think I will ever be separated from this radio. The weather alert function is appreciated, as our area has been under tornado watches recently and we seem to lose power with the frequent and powerful storms. I feel much more secure having this radio.

The new Sangean PR-D9W integrates the key design components of the Sangean PR-D7 portable radio with the functionality of the Sangean DT-400W (a pocket radio) offering listener's one really neat and flexible form factor. About the size of a trade paperback and smaller than the PR-D7 radio, the PR-D9W is a true travel radio loaded with features not found on other Sangean portable radios.The Sangean PR-D9W is equally at home in a hotel room, hospital room or night stand in your bedroom. What surprised me after I unboxed this radio was the sound from its 2.25-inch speaker, which I now prefer over the PR-D7 radio. Very subjective here!BTW, while I am not a Dxer, I was able last night to pick up AM stations from California, Utah and New Mexico from my home in Mesa, Arizona. I listen to NPR all day and jazz in the evening, the PR-D9W does its job in either case.The PR-D9W is priced at 75% less than the Tivoli Songbook and has more usable features.If you are looking for a travel radio that can also serve other roles in your radio sphere (high utilization factor) the Sangean PR-D9 may just be the radio for you.

Well like many others I'm an owner of Sony ICF-M410LIV AM FM Weather Band radios. They gave me many years of rugged service until recently when the AM part of the radios gave out. Being that I listen to AM about 95 percent of the time at work it was time for a replacement.Here were the 3 things I needed from a radio: Digital tuner, a Weather band and a channel lock button. The Sangean met those requirements and the size was a little smaller than the Sony, which was good. The only hesitation was this was a new model but I figured I'd order it anyway.1st impressions after a few days: Build quality is good, as expected with a Sangean. Reception is excellent and battery usage is good also. I have 3 reasons for not giving this 4 or 5 stars:1. The radio shut off a few times for no reason. I turned the lock button off and powered the radio back on. Still don't know why it happened.2. The audio quality has more of a bass tone than I prefer. Way more than the Sony and more than the Sangean PR-D7 which I own also. A separate tone button would have been nice.3. No station presets. The process of setting the presets and then recalling them is kind of ridiculous. Way too involved.Hopefully a future model from Sangean or another manufacturer will address these issues. But for what I'm looking for, this seems to be the best option out there.UPDATE: I gave it a chance but I returned the PR-D9W. The AM reception was getting progressively worse and the radio was still turning off for no reason. Also there was a constant high pitched noise that was just loud enough to be annoying. Too bad because I own the PR-D7 and love it. Hopefully others will have better luck than I did.
