Question 1

When I choose the third weather alert option, the red light stays on even when the radio is off period is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's normal. It lets you know that the radio is "listening" in the background for weather alerts. The radio uses very little battery power while in this mode, so if you live in an area where severe weather is common, it's a good idea to leave it in this mode.

Question 2

What are the dimensions? Was looking at the D18, but saw the weather bands on this model. Do the weather bands come in fine and worth the extra cost?

Accepted Answer

9.35 x 6 x 2.5 inches You can choose the weather band that is closest to you,mine comes in clear as a bell,and as far as price,this is the best i found,this is an excellent radio.

Question 3

How does this compare with the D5 for AM reception?

Accepted Answer

I own both. AM reception is excellent in both units. I like the D4W better on AM. Sound is richer and clearer at all levels. You can also adjust the bandwidth which enhances AM performance and acts like a base/treble tone adjustment. FM sound is thicker/punchier in D5 but a little muddy. If I could only keep one it would be the D4W.

Question 4

Hi! should i get sangean pr-d4w or pr-d15 or pr-d5? which one is the best in terms of everything especially am sensitivity? thanks.

Accepted Answer

About the same. The only advantage of the pr-dw4 is it has weather alert which is ok but i have been woken up at 2 am too many times for weather alerts especially for maritime weather that doesn't even effect me. The pr- d15 has better speakers, has a 200mm  ferrite rod on par with the GE super radios and is the obvious choice for what you're looking for. Its on my to get wish list.
