Hi! For those wanting a budget priced set for long distance listening then this will certainly do the job.
These sets are selling for around $85.00 in the States, I imported 1 quite some time ago, I live in Australia and bought it from a U.S. eBay seller. The radio is incredibly easy to use and layout of controls is straight forward. The PRD5 is a digitally tuned set with 5 presets per band, to set a preset you tune to the station you wish to store and hold down the preset button you wish to use for 5 seconds, the radio then stutters which means the preset has been stored. There's no need for clock setting as the PRD5 will use the RDS information from a fM broadcast for clock setting. The PRD5 has an alarm function and its easy to set but you'll need to take note of the steps for doing this as outlined in the manual. The radio can be run on AC power with the supplied AC power adapter or with 6 C cell batteries. The radio is stereo and stereo sounds quite nice through the radios pair of 2.5 inch speakers, you can use the radio with another sound source thanks to its auxilary socket. One thing I really like about the radio is that the sound is not muted when you turn the tuning knob, wish other digitally controlled radios would do this. As far as sensitivity goes? Well this radio is up there with the CC Radio II and CC EP, not quite as sensitive as those 2 but very close and at half the price of the CC II. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
