Positive Amazon reviews of the Sangean PR-D7 keep coming. Here Tom W argues that it's erroneous to compare the $80 Sangean PR-D5 to the $50 Sangean PR-D7 because the latter is smaller for travel and targets a different niche. Owning a PR-D7, Tom is reporting strong performance: The comparison of the Sangean PR-D5 vs. the Sangean PR-D7 is in error. These two Sangean radios target different market niches. The PR-D5 is essentially a table radio while the PR-D7 targets folks that need a radio for travel. I'm sure the engineers at Sangean see it this way! The Sangean PR-D7 has a clean crisp sound with very low noise floor on AM and FM dials, a great improvement over Sangean radios of similar size such as the ATS-505 or the ATS-909. BTW, I've tuned in all the major stations in the greater Phoenix area without a problem including the hard to catch 89.5, a classical station. I have been very surprised at the overall performance of the PR-D7 radio and listen to this radio daily. The Sangean PR-D7 ($58) does 90 percent of what the Trivoli Songbook does at 25 percent of the Songbook's $200 price tag. Still, the PR-D7 needs a multi-voltage AC adapter and a lock switch to be a complete global travel radio (like the Sangean ATS-606). Also, when traveling, cloth pouch would be a nice touch.
