How you entertain yourself is entirely your thing and I appreciate your points.
I hardly listen to local radio myself anymore given that I have better and higher quality listening options from services such as Tidal etc.
Having said all that however I do appreciate just how useful the Sangean Pr-d17 may be to someone who has a bit of trouble using a radio given the unit has voice prompts.
I plan to buy one myself to add to the collection and I’m sure I’ll get a good deal of use out of the unit.
Firstly the radio rates highly with regards to sensitivity on AM and FM and that suits me given I like to listen to long distance radio.
This feature alone marks a great change for a device with voice prompts, it has been the case that when when such a product has arrived on the market the product under performs its competition.
The second good reason to purchase this radio is that the radio is a full stereo set meaning you can take full advantage of FM radio - not that any of our FM stations give you much in the way of audio fidelity these days of course -.
The PR-D17 has RDS functions which display the name of the song playing, artist, station name etc.
The voicing system doesn’t speak this information and that’s understandable as you would need a full TTS platform in the radio itself to allow that kind of functionality so I suspect Sangean are using Static Speech.

Hi!
Actually not want to disrespect people here but i don’t get the Am/fm radio thing anymore.
I have a harman/kardon receiver here but i very very seldom use the radio in that receiver.
Maybe i am boring or stupid or something but why not just listen via internet.

Now this radio may be well worthwhile grabbing.
