I'm not in the U.S., I bought mine from eBay, Universal Radio and Beach
Audio are 2 places off the top of my head which oculd supply you with a
Sangean PRD5.

Where could I buy a prd5; I have a cc radio but it doesn't play
anymore from its speaker so I've been using it as a tuner and the am
is quite good. If the prd5 is better, I think I need one. I listen
to a lot of far off stations at night. Thanks for the info.

Subject: NOTES ON THE NEW SANGEAN PRD15 PORTABLE AM/FM RADIO
Okay, first bad and then good points in that order.
AM sensitivity is shocking! that's a huge disappointment given that
this set is an upgrade from the excellent PRD5 which is probably
about the most sensitive portable radio on the AM band on Planet
Earth right now.
FM however is hot! better than the sensitivity and selectivity found
on such hot FM performers as the CC SW and the Sangean ATS909X radios.
The PRD15 is totally electronically controlled and this means more
facilities available including basss and treble controls, these are
accessed by pressing in the rotary volume control, a menu pops up
offering various audio adjustments to choose from so you turn the
volume knob to select the audio adjustment you wish to modify and
then press the knob in, turning of the knob from that point adjusts
the desired setting but after 5 seconds of inactivity the knob
reverts to the volume audio adjustment.
I think the addition of bass and treble adjustments is a waste of
time as they don't really make the radio sound any better, best leave
it on "Flat" sound setting.
The PRD15 will charge rechargeable batteries through a built-in
charging circuit, as yet I've not found out how this is activated but
I suspect 1 of the buttons on the front of the set is used to switch
the charging circuit on, can't see any battery type switch in the
battery compartment, that's been the standard place to find such
things on Sangean sets in the past.
This set is still a good value for money receiver for the price of
$90.00 particularly if you like long distance FM listening, its a
killer performer here with no overload on the FM band whatever,
stereo sound through the speakers isn't too bad.
