Sangean PT-80 AM/FM Professional Digital Stereo LW/SW Shortwave World Band Travel Radio Review


Pro: Not too large for a compact radio. Superior signal sensitivity and image rejection. Antanna is nice and sturdy. Reasonably priced. Tuning knob aids band-scanning a lot. No muting during band-scanning. The radio has a large LCD display.
Single-side-band is handy for listening to radio amateurs and utility stations.

Con: Leather case does not fully protect the sides and bottom of the radio. Magnetic clips are slightly weak. The case sags when acting as an elevation panel. The radio requires 4 AA cells; slightly inconvenient when using away from home. No power adapter supplied. The radio does NOT display the metre band; it says only "broadcast band" when entering into a broadcast band.

Overall, I like this radio, despite its flaws. I am planning on buying one for myself. I highly recommand it.

Buy it here now!
